Sydney, Thursday 6 November 2025 – Uniden has launched the new X85 DIN-Size UHF Radio, a powerful, feature-packed unit designed specifically for truck drivers and fleet professionals who demand reliable communication on long-haul routes.
Built to fit seamlessly into standard truck dashboards, the X85 combines rugged performance with a clean, integrated design. With Master Scan™ Technology for uninterrupted communication and an Instant Replay function that records up to 20 minutes of audio, drivers can stay connected and never miss a message, even in the busiest environments.
Engineered for Clarity, Power and Control on Every Australian Road
The oversized LCD screen ensures superior day-and-night visibility, while dual speakers, located in both the base and the microphone, deliver powerful, clear sound in noisy cabins.
