Why Consider the NEW GME TX6165 range of UHF CB Portable Radios

The GME TX6165 Series: Rugged UHF CB Handhelds Built for NZ Conditions

The GME TX6165 series of handheld UHF CB radios is designed to handle the harsh conditions found on both sides of the Tasman, from muddy farm tracks to salt spray on the water. It's a solid choice for anyone who needs a genuinely rugged handheld rather than a consumer-grade unit that won't survive a season of real use.

Key Features of the TX6165 Series

• 5/1 watt switchable transmission power: gives you the option of extended range on 5W, or better battery conservation on 1W for shorter-range use.
• IP67 rating: dust-tight and rated to survive submersion in up to 1 metre of water for 30 minutes.
• Extended battery life: a 2600mAh Li-Ion battery delivers up to 30 hours on low power or 18 hours on high power.
• High-contrast LCD display: large screen for clear visibility of channel and setting information.
• 2 watt speaker: delivers clear audio even in noisy environments.
• User-programmable button: lets you set quick access to your most-used function.
• VOX hands-free mode: voice-activated transmission for when your hands are full.
• Built-in LED torch: genuinely useful in low light, whether that's an engine bay or a tent at 5am.
• Rotary power/volume control: simple to operate even with gloves on.

Available Models

• TX6165X: the standard model, including radio, battery pack, desktop charger, AC adaptor, belt clip, and antenna.
• TX6165: includes everything in the TX6165X, plus an IP67 waterproof speaker microphone, an earpiece-style microphone, and a 12V DC vehicle charger.
• TX6165TP: a twin pack with two radios and accessories, housed in a rugged carry case.

Colour options including Blaze Orange and Yellow are available for better visibility outdoors.

Built to Last

The TX6165 series is engineered to keep working in genuinely tough conditions. The IP67 rating means it shrugs off dust and water, making it a good fit for off-road trips, construction sites, farms, and marine use. It's built to handle regular exposure to the elements without the reliability dropping off after a few months, which is exactly what you want from a handheld you're relying on for safety, not just convenience.
