Ensuring you have a reliable way to keep in touch while exploring Australia is easier than ever with GME’s latest product.

And to make this easy, GME — one of Australia’s leading communication technology manufacturers — has launched its latest innovative product, the XRS-660 Handheld UHF CB Radio. This cutting-edge device is the first-ever XRS radio with GPS tracking, ensuring true location awareness without relying on a smartphone to provide location data.

This device is ideal for all types of users, from travelling and camping through to hiking, boating, 4WDing or even working in regional or remote areas.
In addition to the built-in GPS tracking, the XRS-660 is also the first handheld UHF CB radio to feature transflective colour display TFT LCD screen, ensuring users can enjoy a high-quality display screen in all types of environments, including full sunlight. The device also includes Bluetooth audio connectivity, allowing it to wirelessly connect to an extensive range of third-part audio accessories.

The XRS-660 features a rugged IP67 ingress protection, meaning you won’t need to worry about it getting wet while you’re travelling, camping, hiking, fishing or boating.

All in all, the XRS-660 is the toughest and most advanced handheld UHF CB radio yet.
