Historical Notes
The TX‑826 was released during the final strong years of 27 MHz CB in Australia, just before UHF CB became dominant. GME Electrophone was one of the last Australian manufacturers producing locally‑designed HF CB radios, and the TX‑826 reflects that era’s engineering: simple, rugged, and dependable.
Its appearance in CB Action in early 1990 indicates it remained on the market into the early 1990s, even as 27 MHz sales were declining.
