Description

GME TX6165 5/1W Handheld UHF CB Radio is a 5 watt handheld built for traffic controllers, civil crews and contractors who need reliable communication across a worksite, a convoy or a spread-out crew. This is the full-kit version, supplied with everything needed to put it straight to work, on foot or from the vehicle.

5 watts is the maximum transmit power allowed for UHF CB in Australia, so the TX6165 runs at the top of the legal range. It covers all 80 UHF CB channels (476.425 to 477.4125 MHz) and operates under the ACMA citizen band class licence, which means no individual licence and no licence fee. Switchable 5/1 watt power, scan, dual and triple watch, a priority channel and VOX hands-free cover the day-to-day on site.

The radio is IP67 rated, so it is dust tight and handles being dropped in water, and it carries a MIL-STD-810G rating for shock, vibration and temperature. A 2600mAh lithium-ion battery gives up to 18 hours at 5 watts or 30 hours at 1 watt, enough for a full shift. A 2 watt speaker and high-contrast display keep it clear around plant and traffic, and there is a built-in LED torch and a user-programmable button.

The kit includes the radio, 2600mAh battery (BP026), desktop charger (BCD020), AC adaptor (PS013), antenna (AE4021), belt clip (MB060), IP67 speaker microphone (MC011), earpiece microphone (HS015) and a 12V vehicle charger (BCV007), so a crew member can move between driving and on-foot work without swapping radios.

If you want the radio on its own without the extra accessories, see the GME TX6165X handheld. For a spare or replacement, the MC011 speaker microphone and BCV013 vehicle charger are available separately.

GME TX6165 FAQs

Do I need a licence to use this radio?

No. UHF CB in Australia operates under the ACMA citizen band class licence, so there is no individual licence to apply for and no licence fee. You just follow the standard channel rules.

Is 5 watts the most powerful UHF CB I can buy?

Yes. 5 watts is the maximum transmit power allowed for UHF CB in Australia, so the TX6165 runs at the top of the legal range.

What comes in the kit?

The radio, 2600mAh battery, desktop charger, AC adaptor, antenna, belt clip, IP67 speaker microphone, earpiece microphone and a 12V vehicle charger. It is ready to use out of the box.

What is the difference between this and the TX6165X?

Same radio. This is the full accessory kit; the TX6165X is the radio-only pack without the speaker microphone, earpiece or vehicle charger.

How long does the battery last?

Up to about 18 hours at 5 watts or 30 hours at 1 watt in typical use, which covers a full shift.
