Answering Your GME TX6165 Questions

What is the real-world range like in NZ terrain?

The range depends entirely on the terrain. On open, flat country like the Canterbury Plains, you can expect clear communication over several kilometres. However, in typical NZ bush, hills, or dense forestry, the TX6165’s 5-watt output is essential. It provides the power needed to push a signal through obstacles where less powerful radios would fail.

Is the TX6165 compatible with other UHF radios?

Yes, absolutely. It operates on the standard 80 UHF CB channels used across New Zealand and Australia. This ensures it will communicate seamlessly with any other brand of UHF CB radio, making it a flexible addition to your existing equipment.

Do I need a licence to use this radio in New Zealand?

No. The GME TX6165 uses the public UHF Citizen Band (CB) radio service, which is licence-free for general use in New Zealand. This makes it a simple and cost-effective communication tool to deploy across your team without regulatory hurdles.
