Redefining Communication: The Ultimate Handheld Radio For Traffic Control
I work in the traffic control industry so a decent hand held radio is very important to me. The GME TX6160X is a great radio. It has more than enough range for every job I've encountered so far and the battery life is far better than any radio I've had before. I would thoroughly recommend this radio to whoever was looking to purchase a radio for whatever purpose.

Top-Notch Radios for Seamless Communication
I purchased 2 radios in a kit recently and they are fantastic little units. Well packaged in a rugged container with ear pieces and hand transmitter microphones. Charging system also included. We tested them out with a clear line of site of about 7-8 kilometres and transmission was totally clear with no static or any other noises. Very impressed indeed. They will become an instant marriage saver when backing in a caravan to a Van site. Thanks GME

Portable and Powerful: GME TX6160X Handheld Radio Review
I wanted a radio solution for my new 4x4, I fitted a GME radio in my last car at near cost of $1K , basically gave it away when I traded the car in. That's why I decided on buying a handheld GME TX6160X, great radio and portable as well.

Boost Your Communication with a Reliable Handheld UHF Radio
The GME handheld UHF is an incredibly versatile unit. As an electrical spotter working in demolitions, the GME UHF radio is my trusted way to communicate with machinery operators working blind around high-voltage installations. I feel extremely confident knowing that the directions to the operator are received in real-time. This confidence settles the operator and enables them to get on with their job.

Compact and Reliable Two-way Radio for Working Outdoors
Very useful pocket size to keep in contact with the team when I'm working outside the Header. We have negligible mobile cover where I work for harvest so radios are essential with the TX6160X proving a good backup when summer lightning knocked out mains power for the donga base station.

Wonthaggi army cadet unit purchased 10 GME TX6160X hand held radios for use by cadets on bivouacs (camps). We needed something that was reliable, waterproof and easy to use and maintain. The TX6160X exceeded our expectations. GME also donated 5 spare batteries which is much appreciated. Thank you GME.

5-Watt Handheld Communication: A Road Trip Essential!
We have just completed the big lap around Australia in our caravan. Did not want an in car unit so purchased a 5 watt handheld. What a great unit, clear communication and a good range. Communicated with truckies and wide loads and it made our trip very safe and complemented by our hard working truckies. Hearing what is coming up and truckies giving us their requirements to pass made the trip enjoyable and safe. Highly recommended to help you enjoy a safe trip on the road. Also hear some colorful conversations along the way.

Compact UHF Radio with External Microphone Extension for Easy Communication on the Go
I use this with the ACC6160 Accessory pack (mainly the external microphone extension) and find it really useful. The 5Watt coverage is perfect for my needs when communicating back to the 4WD vehicles. It is setup as our grab UHF whenever I or the kids leave the car to spot or simply go for a walk. We clip it to our backpack and the extra mic is fastened to our shoulder strap and you barely know its there but when you do its really convenient. It feels great in the hand and feels solid too.

Reliable and Sturdy Two Way Radio for Traffic Controllers
This is a great two way radio. I love its robust and sturdy design. I work as a traffic controller and use this radio daily. Being able to communicate with other traffic controllers is a very important part of my job. This radio is very reliable and I never miss a radio transmission. My job involves working in all weather conditions and this radio never fails to deliver. This is actually my second radio that I have purchased for my role. My first radio was a uniden Xtrak, 50-O, Smrt UHF Radio. I only purchased the Uniden radio because it was through the company that I'm employed with. I found the Uniden to be not very reliable and would constantly miss transmissions from my co workers in relation to managing traffic flow. I would constantly have to turn the Uniden on and off to 'reset' the radio. Since using the GME, I've never had any issues with receiving communications from my Co workers.
