5W IP67 UHF CB Walkie Talkie, Ready to Work Out of the Box
Our recommendation: this full kit is the one to buy if you don't already own GME mics and a vehicle charger. Already kitted out? The TX6165X comes with just the battery, desktop charger, antenna and belt clip, so you don't pay for accessories twice.
Overview
Need a handheld UHF CB radio that keeps going when the weather turns? The GME TX6165 is GME's 5 watt, IP67 rated handheld, built for tradies, farmers and fleet crews who can't afford a radio that quits halfway through the day.
It covers all 80 UHF CB channels with 5/1 watt switchable power, runs up to 30 hours on its 2600mAh battery, and adds a loud 2 watt speaker, VOX hands-free and a built-in LED torch. This kit version ships with a vehicle charger, earpiece microphone and IP67 speaker microphone, so it's ready for the ute and the worksite from day one.
Key Features
- 5/1 watt switchable power means maximum legal UHF CB range when you need it and longer battery life when you don't, for crews spread across large farms, forestry blocks and civil sites.
- IP67 dust and water protection means rain, mud and a dunking in a trough won't take it out, for anyone working outdoors in Bay of Plenty weather.
- MIL-STD-810G rating means it is built to handle knocks and drops, for site crews who are hard on their gear.
- Up to 30 hours battery life means a full shift and more on one charge, for long days on the tools or multi-day trips off-grid.
- 2 watt front-facing speaker means you can actually hear calls over machinery, for operators on noisy sites and in vehicles.
- Dual Watch, Triple Watch and Priority Channel means you can keep an ear on the working channel and the emergency channel at once, for convoy leaders and site supervisors.
- VOX hands-free and a user-programmable button means talking without fumbling for the radio, for anyone with their hands full.
- Built-in LED torch means light on hand when you need it, for early starts, night work and breakdowns.
Ideal For
- Civil construction teams and tradies
- Farming, orcharding and forestry operations
- Site managers, traffic management and security staff
- Transport and fleet drivers talking vehicle to vehicle
- 4WD, touring and remote crews

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the GME TX6165 waterproof?
The GME TX6165 is IP67 rated, which means it is dust-tight and can survive temporary immersion in water. It also carries a MIL-STD-810G durability rating, so it suits wet, dusty and rough worksites.
Do I need a licence to use the GME TX6165?
You don't need to apply for your own licence to use the TX6165. UHF CB in New Zealand is covered by a general user radio licence, so anyone can use it on the CB channels as long as the radio is NZ compliant, which the units we supply are.
How long does the TX6165 battery last?
The TX6165 battery lasts up to 30 hours from its 2600mAh Li-Ion pack. Real-world life depends on how much you transmit and whether you run 5 watt or 1 watt power, so heavy users often carry a spare BP026.
Who is the TX6165 kit best suited to?
The TX6165 kit suits anyone who wants one radio for both the vehicle and the worksite, such as tradies, farmers, fleet drivers and 4WD crews. If you don't need the speaker mic, earpiece or vehicle charger, the TX6165X is the better buy.
What is the difference between the TX6165 and the TX6165X?
The TX6165 and TX6165X are the same radio. The TX6165 adds the BCV007 vehicle charger lead, HS015 earpiece microphone and MC011 IP67 speaker microphone, while the TX6165X comes with the battery, desktop charger, antenna and belt clip only.
How many channels does the TX6165 have?
The TX6165 has all 80 UHF CB channels, the standard UHF CB channel plan used in New Zealand.
