Reliable Communication Companion for NZ Great Walks - GME TX6160 Review
Use GME TX6160 majority of my New Zealand Great Walk. We normally hike in big group 10 to 15 people every two years. GME product always part of my emergency kit. Excellent communication tool used in the National Parks and enjoy nature. Strong signal strength even with thick bushes and trees. I cannot imagine going hiking with out GME handheld radio. You can put all the outdoor elements with this unit and it can withstand the NZ outdoors. I wish GME will come up with combo unit of TX6160 with Personal Beacon Locator. My wish list for future release of TX61XX as follows: 1. GPS Capable to transmit location. 2. Better antenna 3. 3000mAH battery 4. OLED LCD with battery saver mode. Carlo Wellington, New Zealand

Reliable and Robust: GME UHF Radios for Earthmoving Business
We are a small / medium size earthmoving business with 43 pieces of plant and trucks and 15 4WD vehicles . We only use GME UHF Radios because they are the best . We have tried other brands over the years as we have been operating for over 30 years however none have been as reliable and robust as GME products . We use TX 3500 in all plant and vehicles then TX 6160 radios with remote microphones for handheld .

Disappointing experience with UHF radio charging issue
Had the UHF for 2days, charged it up over night. Failed to charge, reread the instructions and flashing light suggested there was a fault. As per instructions removed the battery and reinstalled several times. Took back to Anaconda to be replaced, Informed me would have to be sent back to GME, and would take 3 weeks.So unable to use on my current trip. 3weeks later still waiting.

Compact and Reliable CB Radio for Road Warriors
I looked at a numbers of CB radios before I purchased this one. It needed to be simple to operate as both myself and my wife would be using it in the car while we were towing the van. It is easy to setup and the dual watch feature is very useful when on the road. GME also have a lot of accessories which can be purchased to suite your future needs so if I want to mount it in the car and have an external aerial, I just need a car kit. The handheld reception is very clear. I have not tried the smaller speaker. I have two 1 Watt units as well, but the 5 Watt capability was needed for travelling in western Queensland, to get the extra distance. While the product is actually made in China, it is designed in Australia, so it is built tough, which was another consideration. I purchased it from Autobarn Bundaberg as it was on sale, plus the salesperson was very knowable on all their CB range which helped with my questions.

GME 6160: Unmatched Quality and Performance

Needed a UHF before my first 4wd trip. Borrowed a different brand device from a friend but decided I wanted reliability and knew GME was trusted.

Rugged and Reliable with Room for Improvement
Better than average for sure but rubber over buttons wears through quickly ( we own 6 of these and it's a problem for most of them) , would be great if these could be bought as a replaceable part. Waterproofness and general ruggedness is great, it's good to be able to replace the aerial , and very handy to have the torch, has even saved me from having to spend the night out on the odd occasion when the days mustering turned out to be a bit more extreme than expected. A good product and the colour options definitely cut down arguments over who remembered to charge theirs and who didn't ;)

Compact and Clear: Communicate with Ease on the Road
Great quality portable unit. After upgrading from a 4x4 ute to a 4x4 wagon we decided to go for a portable unit for more flexibility. On a recent trip with the caravan we passed through a lot of truck traffic and we were able to communicate with the trucks clearly and easily so the trucks could overtake us safely and without holding them up. The 6160 fits neatly in a stubby holder for scratch protection and sits within easy reach in the console.

Reliable and Portable CB Radio for Travelers
Decided to purchase the TX6160 as opposed to having a permanent UFH fitted mainly due to cost at the time. Plan is still to purchase a hard-wired unit in the future and then also have the handheld as a backup. The TX6160 has never let me down and is super handy whilst touring in my rig particularly coming into cities where there is traffic congestion to get an idea from listening to the truckies as to ways to get around accident etc. It permanently sist in my glove box ready to be used whenever required and is essential when touring with others as a means to keep in touch. The battery life on these handheld units is outstanding also.

GME Handheld 5W Radio: A Powerful Communication Companion
I was going to fit a CB radio to our Land Rover for our great escape to the WA Kimberley. A friend suggested a hand held radio and I chose the more powerful 5 Watts TX6160. It did the job superbly with great range and clarity. In our convoy we could speak clearly to each other and could switch to a trucking channel when needing to overtake, towing our 3 tonne caravan. This really hepled us to drive safely and help other drivers. Very happy with my GME product and can recommend it highly.

Reliable Australian-Made Product with Easy Spare Parts Access
Excellent product, works well, made in Australia, good guarantee, spare replacement parts readily available. Notes: - The screw on aerial may need a minor adjustment re "lock in place" serrations when fully screwed down to prevent accidental unwinding if a coat or jacket rubs against aerial. IE: As a traffic controller in twisting, turning or walking motion, a stiff winter jacket can prematurely unwind the aerial when rubbing against the rubber outside surface even though the aerial was initially wound down fully in position.

Rugged and Reliable Handheld Communication Device: A User's Delight
What can I say, I love it! I bought it (the single pack with the home charger, mic on the full coil cord, ear-piece etc.) from UV 4X4 at Enoggera just over a year ago and it has survived everything I can throw at it ... even leaving it on the roof of my 4WD while I was recovering someone, then spending 30 minutes poking around in the dirt and mud trying to find it when it bounced off my roof when I drove off (have you thought of adding a magnetic area so it can grip a vehicle? Like the QuadLock phone cases have). Then we have how strong the clip is ... stayed clamped onto the support leg of my Rhino bars for over 400kms on the freeway! It's been sat on, bounced around on rough tracks, had a dog steal it (had to chase her for half an hour to get it back as she thought it was a game) ... and it has never missed a beat. It's still works crystal clear, charges up perfectly ... but now has a safe spot (safe from me, to be honest) to sit when I'm not using it, in my new roof console (one day I will get around to grabbing a 'real' one that needs to be installed ... then it won't go through the hell this one has :). I've had a few GME products over the years and cannot recommend this super-tough little hand held highly enough. Very happy! (ps: your system keeps telling me I am in the USA ... but I'm in Brisbane ;)

I've had a few GME products over the years and cannot recommend this super-tough little hand held highly enough. Very happy! (ps: your system keeps telling me I am in the USA ... but I'm in Brisbane ;)

Reliable GME Radios for Sporting Shooters: Excellent Performance up to 500m!
Having reliable communications is vital in any sport, work or remote location. As sporting shooters we need very good communications out to 500m setting up targets on the range in the least amount of time. Our new GME radios have never let us down. Even after we forgot to put them on charge after months of not being used, they still performed excellently to 500m in line of sight. The handy carry case makes loading and storage compact with good weather protection. These are a better system to use than dedicated mobile phones. Using a GME means hands free, can still use your mobile phone as emergency and incoming calls. Would like to see a 'reflector' on the next model to help find them in the dark when 'misplaced.

Reliable XRS Radio for Vehicles, Handheld Radio Concerns
rating is based on the XRS radio fitted to my vehicles and do everything i need. have had some problems with the hand held radio's as the parts seem very brittle and break off such as the transmit buttons falling out etc (TX6160 i think)

Efficient Communication on the Road: A 5-Star Handheld Review
I use the 5 watt handheld while traveling for communications between accompanying vehicles and to have general communication amoungst fellow travelers. Works great. Previous vehicle had a GME vehicle mounted radio and we used the handhelds for backing caravans trailers etc. With our new vehicle it seemed a waste of money getting a radio vehicle mounted. Two handhelds does us just fine. Quality of the GME 5 watt handheld. 5 stars.

GME Handheld Review: Durable Gear with Loud Squelches
Used it on a trip to the Cape. Handheld came with accessories and it all feels like good quality durable gear as I expected from the GME brand and reputation. Unit served its purpose, although it was belting out some pretty load continuos squelches there at stages which was annoying , but this hopefully wasn't the held held issue, probably I'm guessing an interference issue or user issue. :)

TX6160: Great Features but Lacks Private Communication Option
I purchased the TX6160 for work purposes. Found features are good. However, would like the option of being able to talk to one person opposed to all of the team hearing the conversation.

Compact and Reliable UHF with Clear Sound and Long Battery Life
The TX6160 is a great handheld UHF. The sound is very clear. It's a small unit so easy to store but has a great range. The battery lasts for a really long time & recharges quickly. I'd have no hesitation recommending this UHF to someone else or buying another one if I had a need to replace.

Rugged and Reliable Handheld Radio for Outdoor Adventures
I have used the TX6160 handheld 5W unit in a number of scenarios, from reporting back to a vehicle navigating its way through Ngkala rocks on K'gari (Fraser Island), which is essential so you can keep your momentum going in the soft sand, safe in the knowledge that no other vehicles are oncoming. I have also used this device out on the Whitsundays as communication between boats so as to not clog up the VHF boating channels with needless chatter (particularly when in the hands of the kids!). Without exception, this device performs flawlessly with its solid, rugged and weather resistant design and the battery life is brilliant (not to mention the bright, easy to find colours). I have no hesitation in recommending this device.

Top Choice for Traffic Management: GME TX6160
We use these UHG radios for all our traffic management requirements; would not use any other brand. Several of my traffic controllers purchased their own radio (will not name brand); whilst they are 5 Watt, the range of coverage and overall clarity is not comparable with GME TX6160. We buy the twin packs, and the accessories are great also. Hours of charge is second to none.

Reliable Handheld with Long Battery Life
I've had this handheld I reckon now for about 18-24 months and its never let me down. The feature I love the most is the long battery life. Feels like every time I turn it on, there's battery power. I use mine mainly for 4WD and for general handheld use and its never missed a beat. Great product from a great company!

Quick Reference Sheet for Beginners: Simplifying UHF Radio Operations
I am currently reviewing the manual & will make a summary sheet for quick reference (For this function: push this then push that kind of thing). For a beginner who is unfamiliar with UHF in general, and also unfamiliar with the particular radio, it takes time for the procedures/processes to sink in.

Rugged and Reliable: A Must-Have Handheld UHF Radio
I recently purchased a GME handheld UHF radio, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The build quality is excellent'sturdy and durable, which is perfect for outdoor use. The reception is crystal clear, even in challenging environments, and the range is impressive for a handheld device. The battery life is also a standout feature; it lasts through long trips without needing a recharge. The user interface is intuitive, making navigating through channels and settings easy. Whether for recreational use or in more rugged conditions, this GME handheld UHF is a reliable companion. It is highly recommended!

Rugged and Reliable: A Must-Have for Outdoor Adventures!
At the first glance: Super awesome. I started off with a TX677TP and commenced using / testing the two units in my own harsh ways to check the durability, simply because, I didn't want to add another burden of taking care of the radios during hectic outdoor activites. I wanted the devices to work seamlessly under rugged use. It was the perfect device for all my expeditions. It was really easy to operate and the range was exceeding expectations. So, I ended up buying another set of TX677TP and TX6160. All these purchases were made within a time frame of two weeks. I am simply impressed on the product quality, robust nature to withstand rough use. I will always recommend GME for anyone wishing to make purchases.

Great little handset with good range and very handy in and out of vehicle. Gives peace of mind when traveling knowing that it's there when mobile phone coverage is not.

Effective GME 5W Handheld Radio for Clear Communication on the Go
As I have a new Isuzu Dmax I did not want to fit a radio in the dash at this stage, so I purchased a 5watt hand held radio which I find works as I expected. I have good clear communication with truck drivers and fellow travellers. At this stage i am very happy with my purchase as GME has always been my first choice of communication.

Versatile Radio with Excellent Accessory Kit
Great radio for work and travel. Accessory kit is great as well. May progress to car kit for it eventually to replace my TX3120SPNP set in her car. If I had to improve it the only thing that I can think of is if the XPS mic fitted the 6160.

Rugged and Reliable Handheld Radio with Clear Sound and Handy Torch Function
This is a well built radio. Fits into the hand comfortably and it feels well built and able to take a bit of punishment and will last forever. The speaker provides a very clear sound and so far calls over distance have not been an issue with its powerful 5 watts. A very handy torch function. Best hand held 2 way radio I have owned. Perfect companion to the dash mounted CB in the car.
