The XRS-660 is the first of its kind, with built-in GPS functionality ensuring true location awareness without relying on a smartphone to provide location data, making it perfect for new and existing campers, hikers, 4WDers, and those who work in regional and remote areas.

GME Group Marketing Manager, Tony Crooke, said: “For Aussies travelling or working in remote and regional areas, staying in touch is vital to ensuring they get home safe. That’s why GME is proud to launch the XRS-660 – the first-ever XRS handheld radio with GPS tracking capabilities.

“Building on the market-leading innovation of GME’s popular range of XRS Connect UHF CB radios, Australians can now have total peace of mind knowing they can communicate with their fellow travellers or workers all while their live location is visible, without mobile phone service.”

The XRS-660 offers several exciting new features including a Colour TFT LCD screen that provides the ultimate handheld radio display for all environmental conditions – even in full sunlight. It also features three user-customisable buttons.

“The colour TFT LCD screen is the first of its kind in a UHF CB radio and ensures the user has an easy-to-view display in all environments,” Crooke added.

The five-watt unit also has Bluetooth audio connectivity, allowing the XRS-660 to wirelessly connect to an extensive range of third-party audio accessories. To top it off, rugged IP67 ingress protection and a MIL-STD810G rating make the XRS-660 the toughest and most advanced handheld UHF CB radio yet, and it won’t matter if you drop it in a river or get it wet when fishing.

“The XRS-660 is a monument to Australian Manufacturing and goes to show that Australian businesses can still push the boundaries regarding technological advancements,” said Crooke. “The unit was designed and manufactured with the outdoor adventurer in mind, its advanced features and rugged chassis make it the perfect accessory for any adventure.”

In the box, you’ll find the XRS-660, a 2550mAh Li-Ion battery pack, a rapid desktop charger, an AC adapter, a belt clip and a quick start guide.
