Description
Description
GME TX6165X 5/1W Handheld UHF CB Radio is the radio-only version of GME's 5 watt handheld, for traffic controllers, civil crews and contractors who already have the microphones and accessories they need and just want the radio.
5 watts is the maximum transmit power allowed for UHF CB in Australia, so the TX6165X 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, so there is 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, dust tight and waterproof to 1 metre, and 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. A 2 watt speaker and high-contrast display keep it clear around plant and traffic, with a built-in LED torch and a user-programmable button.
The pack includes the radio, 2600mAh battery (BP026), desktop charger (BCD020), AC adaptor (PS013), antenna (AE4021) and belt clip (MB060). It does not include a speaker microphone, earpiece or vehicle charger.
For the full kit with speaker microphone, earpiece and 12V vehicle charger included, see the GME TX6165 with accessory kit. A matching MC011 speaker microphone and BCV013 vehicle charger are available separately.
