XRS-660 is GME’s toughest, most advanced handheld UHF CB Radio yet

The Australian Made IP67 and MIL-STD810G rated GME XRS-660 offers a number of new features, demonstrating GME’s ongoing commitment to the development of new technology for UHF CB Radio users.

That’s right I said Australian Made, that’s not a typo. GME is Australian owned and well respected by 4WD and off-road enthusiasts as a manufacturer of quality CB radios and Emergency Beacons.

The XRS-660 is the first handheld UHF CB radio to feature a colour TFT LCD screen, providing the ultimate Handheld radio display for all environmental conditions – even in full sunlight.

Bluetooth audio connectivity allows the XRS-660 to wirelessly connect to an extensive range of third-party audio accessories, providing users with new and improved ways to stay connected.

Built-in GPS functionality ensures the XRS-660 can provide true location awareness without relying on a smartphone to provide GPS location data.

XRS Location Services allows the radio to broadcast its GPS location at the end of a normal voice transmission.

The XRS-660 has a built-in GPS module to determine your current location. This feature can be used together with the XRS Connect app to see the location of other XRS Location Services users on your map.

This capability is particularly useful in commercial applications where location tracking of users in remote areas may be required for workplace safety.

The XRS-660 Handheld UHF CB Radio from GME has a recommended retail price of $549. A full stockist list is available at the GME website.

Signal Processing
• Digital Signal Processing (DSP): Measures, filters and compresses standard analogue audio signals and converts them into digital format. Allows advanced RF and audio processing techniques to be applied to maximise the radio’s performance.
• Advanced Signal Management (ASM): Identifies interference caused by strong local signals on adjacent channels and prevents these from opening your Squelch. ASM also minimises distortion on reception by fine tuning the receiver frequency to match that of the incoming signal.
• Dynamic Volume Control (DVC): Automatically compensates for variations in received audio level to provide a constant audio output level to the speaker.
• Advanced Noise Reduction: Reduces background noise and hiss in transmit and receive audio to improve audio quality and make speech clearer.

received audio.
