Excellent Equipment & Customer Service – I am new to the CB world and with recommendations I purchased the DTX4200X IP54 Dual Receive Ultimate 4×4 Touring Pack. The size of the handset is great, easy to see and use and the install was quite easy, even for a novice like me. I played with the settings as User Guide could be a little more descriptive. Reception and transmit just does not… Read more · 1
seem right to me as reception is crackly (especially at 100kms) and when I transmit no one answers. Is that normal, I don’t know. I have purchased a SWR meter, so I’ll check that as well.
VSWR check revealed every channel was >3. Something was definitely wrong.
I rang Customer Service and spoke to a lovely lady (sorry forgot her name) that tried to fault find the problem for me but to no avail. She referred me to Daniel and still we could not determine the problem. To my surprise Daniel sent me out another complete system to fit to the car.
I replaced the first system with the new one and now it is perfect. VSWR is as per the Operating Instructions Manual Page 25 and the VSWR check was 1.00 on all channels as per pictures attached. Took it for a test drive and actually spoke to 2 people. Hooray it is working.
Oricom / Daniel went out of his way to help solve the problem and when he could not he replaced my whole system. Oricom Customer Service is second to none, brilliant, and now my system is working I strongly recommend the DTX4200X system. The dual receive function is awesome and the sound quality is great.
Excellent product Oricom.
Oricom DTX4200X – We've had the Oricom DTX4200X installed for a couple of months now and we are absolutely stoked with it. The quality of this UHF is great, when we first unwrapped it out of the packaging the first thing we noticed was the weight of the unit, it's very impressive, feels solid, super comfortable to hold and easy to use once you play around with the… Read more · 1
controls. We've got it down pat now, the sound is great, lighting on the screen is very clear, easy to read and there are so many great features included in this unit!
A huge congratulations to the Team at Oricom for designing a great bit of gear!
Great radio for touring the country!! – Loving this unit! The install is super easy and it's great how the head unit can be hidden behind dash if needed. The handpiece, controls and microphone are easy to use and the sound quality is loud and clear. Having the dual receive function makes it great for travelling in convoy and still listening to other road users as well. Show reply

Problem UHF unit replacement – This is how customer support should be. Fantastic customer service, well done Oricom. Five business days from phone call explaining the problem to arrival of new unit. Show details · 1
Product and service quality – I purchased an Oricom DTX 4200X offroad pack at the Caravan and Camping show Adelaide. There was a problem with the handset which Oricom have promised to replace without any hassles , hopefully that will happen. I would then recommend this service . I also purchased an Oricom Tyre Pressure Monitor system, still can't get it to work. Show reply
Great product & amazing customer service! – Great quality product with crystal clear rx/tx. This unit was very easy to install & comes with detailed install guide. The aftermarket sales support is second to none! Steve Show details · 1
Prompt warranty replacement – Had rare fault in handset connector to transceiver. Oricom support simply asked for photo then on spot authorized replacement part to be shipped. Way it should be. Show details · 1
Great UHF - Could do with some new functions – I really enjoy having the dual channel. Great for working around the farm and dealing with trucks around the area. Be good to see some modern updates that Uniden has I like as a farmer is having the ability to scan unencrypted emergency services, especially RFS. The other thing it misses is a quick button to assess emergency channels. Be perfect in my opinion with those updates, especially for farm work. Show reply
Have had trouble at first. I still believe that the unit is Value for Money – The Radio worked fine until I turned it off but after calling the hotline Oricom were very quick to diagnose my problem and send out a replacement Microphone head unit. Show details · 1
I'm impressed so far – I mounted my radio behind the back seat of a Triton 4wd so it is out of sight and I hate "cluttering" up the dash for a number of reasons, especially on the drivers side. I would have liked the mic extension cable to be about a metre longer as it would not reach the dash where I originally planned to mount the mic connector. Instead I had to run… Read more · 1
the mic extension under the passenger seat and connected to the mic cable under the seat.
This worked out neater than I expected as the mic cable lays along the side the passengers seat and is still easily usable by the passenger or the driver. This also prevents the cable from getting under foot and cluttering up the passengers floor area.
The radio, mic and cables appear to be well constructed. Audio and sensitive, etc have work well so far and I will putting it all to the test of the next few weeks. Would I recommend this radio, yes!
So Far So Good – easy to install and works well The Feature off being able to monitor 2 different channels is good. The magnetic holder is good and being able to fasten without drill holes in the dash is good but a little pricey Show details · 1
Terrific. What I've needed for years – Bought for a touring rig we are putting together. Great when used in a group as we can monitor our channel and listen to 40. Easy to install and good volume on noisy roads. Show details · 1
Small base unit, big handpiece – A great unit that can be hidden under the dash in most cars. A microphone handpiece extension cable comes with the unit so distance is not an issue. The handpiece is much larger than other units, and this gives great control and clarity, but for those with small hands it may be uncomfortably large, and it makes mounting in some cars a bit of a pain. Overall a great unit that is clear, loud and good quality. Show details · 1

Oricom DTX4200X Vic to Qld Trip – I recently purchased Oricom DTX4200X for a trip from Vic to Qld for safety and to keep up to date with road conditions given the recent flooding across the states. The duel channel was awesome and the Oricom DTX4200X was easy to install. It took a bit of practicing to learn the functions and I found that the instructions provided did not help in… Read more · 1
this, nor could I find a good video to speed up my use of my new toy. Over all the Oricom DTX4200X is a great device and very glad I chose it over a single channel unit. Would highly recommend.
Fitted to My new D-Max – Loving the radio so far. The controls are easy to use, and the audio is clear and easy to understand. The dual channel receive function has proved handy for road trips, we can keep an ear out on the highway channel for safety alerts and keep the convoy banter going at the same time. Show reply
Value – Great little unit, really easy to use and very clear. Have the Town and Country antenna, perfect and easy to change when doing big trips or driving just around town. Show details · 1
Ticks all the boxes! – Fitted to my new BT50 with an ANU1200 antenna pack. Handpiece has clear and loud volume, fits into the palm of your hand well and is easy to navigate changing channels and volume without taking your eyes away from the road. The use of simultaneous dual channel receiving, although sounds gimmicky, once utilised is actually quite handy when… Read more · 1
setting your monitoring channel - for me that's 40, loader than you talk channel ensures you don't miss anything important whilst navigating busy outback roads.
Best on the market – Perfect Unit , looks great, good quality components basically Everything you need in a UHF Radio durable connections and it's nice and clear through the speakers in use and is really easy to operate. Show details · 1
Great unit, easy to use, big, bright and loud – Everything you want in a UHF, strong durable connections and it's nice and loud and easy to ready and operate. Quality of a GME but not the larger price tag. Show details · 1

DTX4200X - awesome radio – awesome radio - easy to use, looks decent and great sound quality. highly recommend to anyone looking for a radio to use in convoy, crossing the desert and talk on more than one channel. Show reply
DTX4200X -Rural use unit – I have had this unit in a vehicle that is used on farm, highway and off road use. I love the fact I can use 2 channels at the same time and has recently become very handy during fire season when I am using it in a fire unit to monitor and use both the emergency channel and other channels during the fire. The big dial and display is clear and… Read more · 1

Great unit and excellent value – The DTX4200 is a quality unit that we run in our BDM’s vehicle’s, this not only provides daily coms, but also a safety factor in case something was to happen. Show reply
Loving it – Couldn’t be happier with this radio, had a couple issues when I received the radio the second time they sent me a complete new radio awesome customer service highly recommend Show details · 1
So clear and really easy to use – Seriously the dtx4200x is the best uhf cb radio I’ve had. Bring able to listen and use two channels through the dual receive is sensational. Love how crystal clear the communication is no matter where I am. Install was nice and simple for the DIY guys, the install instructions are set out so even guys like me can install it. Highly recommend it. Show details · 1
Awesome UHF Radio! A+++ – Awesome UHF Radio, very easy to use. I really like the DTX4200X because it is a dual receive Radio. I can easily listen to and monitor 2 channels at once. I have paired the radio with the Oricom 3.5dbi and 6.5dbi interchangeable aerial kit and it works great. I always have crystal clear communication and the speaker in the unit and hand piece is loud and clear. I would definitely recommend the DTX4200X! Big thumbs up from me! A+++ Show details · 1
Compact comms in a box – Purchased the DTX4200X Ultimate 4x4 Touring Pack with the ANU1100 Antenna (3Dbi and 6.5Dbi whip - Town & Country Antenna). Installation was easy, reviewed a few YouTube videos for clarity, but the install was flawless. The ability to switch between channels was a easy as pressing a button. Clear comms on primary channel, incoming and outgoing.… Read more · 1
The second channel did appeared to be quieter on the mic, when receiving, not sure if this could be user error though - investigating at my end.
Used happily around Tasmania, keeping in contact with fellow travellers and other people on the air.
Need to learn more about squelch and other functions but for simple use it's a great unit.
Mounted antenna with a GMG4x4 bonnet mount, keeping it out of the view of passenger. Finding a space to mount Unit was hard, but I found a space behind the glove box to, technically (and physically), wedge it into place.
Used a fuse tap to utilise an ignition fuse in the cabin fuse box for the positive wire, to ensure it doesn't draw power when car is off. Used an existing earth point to clip the negative wire to.
Thank you Oricom for a great unit.
Good piece of kit – Not installed as yet however very happy with most of the delivery. Magnetic handset holder was not in the delivery which was very disappointing but happy with everything else.thank you Show details · 1
Love it – Installed for a couple of months now. Love the range and the ease of use. Never again will I have a uhf without the controls on the mic. It’s awesome. Show details · 1

Great product and features – Absolutely love this radio. Easy to use and the scroll wheel makes it simple to change channels and use functions. Was easy to install and speaker is clear and range great Show reply
Talking Talking – A great product as expected,Your company was recommended by YouTube Chanel Trip in a van. The only downer is the price, I think you could be better priced in the market . Show details · 1
Compact 2 in 1 – Small enough to be mounted under the dash of a 2020 Prado, with cables long enough to reach the driver. Responsive to use with super fast scan, the second receive channel makes it a winner. I purchased the DTX4200X Ultimate 4x4 Touring Pack, which includes the Town & Country ANU1100 3/6.5 dBi antenna. With everything included I’m ready for the next adventure. Show details · 1
Thank you Oricom, Great customer support – I had the unfortunate experience of a large duck hitting my Oricom antenna just above the spring and the antenna snapped off. This was not an issue with the quality of the antenna but just an unfortunate incident, I called Oricom as I need a new one and told them what had happened, they have offered to supply a new antenna even though it was not… Read more · 1
really covered under warranty. Fantastic customer service and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. I haven’t received the antenna yet but I am sure it’s in the mail and can’t wait to refit.
Quality equipment - great value Touring Combo – Very easy to install and very clear reception. Volume is clear and loud and the larger display is great for safer operation whilst driving. A very solid high quality aerial sets off the whole package - very pleased so far. An extra 500mm of power cable length would be handy for the installation when connecting to the battery terminal.
