GME is proud of its position as Australia’s only home-grown manufacturer of UHF CB radios and its latest TX6600S handheld radio is built as tough as the Aussie Outback
For more than 60 years now GME has been an industry leader in communication technology in Australia and has reached a milestone with the release of the TX6600S UHF CB handheld radio.
This is an industrial-grade handheld radio that is built in Australia to suit our tough local landscape for use in the harshest working environments, setting a new benchmark for UHF CB Handheld Radios.
One of the main reasons behind the success of the TX6600S is that GME has been detirmined to include a full range of cutting-edge features
to meet the demands of what current communication levels are expected for remote farm work.
The TX6600S underwent all stages of its development including its design, engineering, and manufacturing at GME’s head office in Western Sydney.
The TX6600S is the only Australian made handheld UHF CB radio on the market.
GME has set-out to make the point that by manufacturing in Australia it can produce high quality, reliable products and can bring products to market faster than businesses relying on importing goods from overseas.
GME products are also brought to market through stringent in-house quality assurance practices and backed by an ISO 9001 Manufacturing Accreditation to ensure product reliability.
GME is confident there is no other handheld UHF CB radio that can compete with the value package offered by the TX6600S.
The TX6600S comes with a rugged IP67 ingress protection rating, ensures the product will offer exceptional performance and years of reliable use in the harshest working environments.
And while the radio is purpose-built for farm communication it has also been designed to suit a wide range of demanding commercial applications.
Personnel from construction, mining, councils, and other industries that require stable and dependable communication will find the TX6600S will get the job done safely and efficiently.
Behind the success of the TX6600S are the considerable suite of features that GME engineers managed to build into the schematics.
The TX6600S offers switchable 5W/1W/100m-Watt transmission power that enables the battery to be conserved in close range use.
Scansuite digital scanning technology offers faster channel scanning and multiple power saving modes.
Up to 80 UHF CB channels and up to 119 user programmable channels can be set.
Two separate Priority channels allow a channel of your choice to be instantly recalled at the press of one of the Priority keys.
Also, programmable receive-only channels (403 to 520MHz) set the TX6600S apart from other handheld UHF radios.
The LCD provides a fully detailed visual indication of the channel and all selected features at a glance.
There is a built-in digital signal strength meter that displays the incoming signal strength in digital format.
With the benefit of a rugged build, the TX6600S also comes in a compact and lightweight size measuring just 59mm wide by 42mm deep by 128mm high, not including the antenna.
It weighs in at a handy 337 grams, with battery and antenna.
Another bonus that comes with the TX6600S is an operating temperature covering all extremes from -20° C to +60° C.
An Ingress protection rating of IP67 means the unit is also dust tight and waterproof.
Suggested retail price for the TX6600S is $429.00 and every GME radio is backed by a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty.
