I’d be setting up my 4x4 with some quality GME gear to explore this country and keep my family safe!

First up definitely has to be a PLB, then upgrade the 2-way in the Ute to a XRS Connect and then probably handheld or 2 for good measure.

Get the new XRS 4wd pack for the rig!

Challenge accepted! The XRS range in general has some rad features: Programmable scan, call lists and other amazing features will allow us to have less interruptions to our comms as provided by CTCSS and DCS, while also monitoring calls on important regional channels, such as channel 24 for logging operations, channel 10 for 4wd, etc. XRS™ Location Services technology, short text ‘status’ on the tail of transmissions, and offline map caching is exciting. App programmability means I can setup channels, call groups, CTCSS/DCS, channel monitoring and more, so all the Riders have to do is use the PTT button. I'm interested in the XRS-330CTP Connect Touring Pack, as being the best-suited to our needs for the following and other features: 1) The antenna included is a medium gain item (6.6 dBi), which is a good, all-round performer that will provide comms on the tarmac, or in our beloved forested tracks. 2) The compact transceiver allows stowage in limited room available in our sidecars. Next comes the XRS-BT1 Bluetooth Interface Module & Wireless PTT. This is a no-brainer. On the handlebars of our sidecar rigs, the PTT button enables the rider to keep hands on the bar while talking. Convenient AND safer to use. It's also able to connect with third party Bluetooth headsets. IP67 rating makes it well suited to our operations. We would, of course, have two sets of both the XRS-330CTP Connect Touring Pack and the XRS-BT1 Bluetooth Interface Module & Wireless PTT (One of each on each rig) Combine this with the TX6165TP Twin Pack for times when a rider has moved away from his rig to direct another rider, or during winching operations. (Yes, we have winches for those "difficult" bits!) This package is exciting for the following reasons: 1) Much lower than expected price. 2) Includes AC adaptor for charging, as well as 12 Volt DC charging. 3) Rugged carrying case keeps all the components together. Again, the IP67 ingress rating makes this kit perfect for our operations. The total price of all the above is $2,415.00

Way better than the tx6160

Great work full upgrade my 105 series new cb and antena dcdc battery charger and go to the high county

We run a couple of sidecar rigs. Will XRS-BT1 connect to a combination headset and microphone? We go offroad, so a straight BT unit is limited to just our bikes. Having the option of a BT connected UHF would allow us to listen out for and respond to fourbies, logging trucks, etc, who also share the tracks we use.

New handheld upgrade from the old onicrom uhf and 2 aerials then take it down to the pink lakes and along the yorkes

Great work GME! I’m traveling at the moment and find myself with 1 bar of reception in nearly every spot. So a cellular range extender aerial and PLB would be first up and I’d mull over the rest of it.

Good stuff I already have a xrs370 so I would do with a new hand held so the xrs660 and I wood lov to the moble phone booster and my rig so when right out on the tracks so if neeed we can at least can get a call out

If I was given $2,500 of gear, I’d buy an XRS 370 connect 4WD pack for the Ranger, and alternate antennas so I’m ready for anything. I’d then get the Bluetooth module and PTT switch so I can go hands free. A set of XRS 660’s for comms on the move, and finally a PLB just in case I get stuck. I’d then feel more comfortable heading out to do a Simpson desert crossing, and tackling some of the tougher tracks in the High Country.

I would purchase a couple of handhelds, a PLB and a couple of antennas then go and tick Kakadu of my bucket list

I'll be buying an xrs kit to go in my 88 patrol that I'm fixing up along with wuth hand helds to replace my shitty 1W cheapos 👌

Probably get the XRS content 4wd pack and for one of the farm utes

I just am about to buy my second 4wd same model a gen 2 Pajero but diesel and want to build this one better then the last I think gme would be an awesome addition to it. Would probably buy a xrs connect Have a gme hand held and it’s super tough and lasted forever still going strong. The first trip I’m gonna do when it’s ready is Moreton island. And would love to have some good coms

I’ve always wanted new GME products I’ve always had and used GME products! I would though use GME stuff with mates to spot them and chat in convoy

Very nice mate

Nearly 4 min antennas were changed for reason please ?

whats the difference between the tx6160 and the tx6165?

Great to see quality Aussie company thriving! I’d get a new set of exchangeable aerials for my XRS 370 and a new handheld for when we are out in the bush

Read the book very good read

Is the twin pack available in the yellow or orange as well?

i m new to antenna, is those antenna use for VHF and UHF

hi sir, nice content, need your advice, i want to install to my hilux 2005 and i m using a radio QYT KT 8000D. i use the radio for offroad when i m in a convoy for short distance on hillly terrain only maybe 10km. Please advice, thanks.

Great Radios & a Great Company.

What an inconvenient stupid fucking round about way to connect to my own radio. Downloaded the godforsaken app and it still won't find my own radio

Plb would be my first purchase. Having that piece of mind while out exploring with the family would be ideal! Hopefully encourage me to do some more solo stuff in the vhc

We have a MX bike park which is in hilly wooded area and there is a shed in the middle which is used as a home base Approx 1km to normal furthermost point. The riders use handheld uhf cb radios(2-5W) and we would like to put an antenna on the top of the shed and connect a 5W R/T to it. The roof is sloped so a Ground Independent Antenna looks like the go, but I am unsure of how much the gain will matter at these distances (1km radius normally - occasionally up to 3km).

A XRS connect for mums cruiser and a PLB, a PLB for Pops, and just an XRS connect for my cruiser.

I’d give it to my daughter who badly needs a comms set up. Then we can chat as we hit the tracks!

Would love a full XRS 4wd kitout, a 660 handheld and a PRB for solo mountain trips

Treat the Ute to an xrs upgrade and grab a hand held xrs for hiking/motorbike trips. Maybe a plb if there is room in the budget too😅

Older gay males camping & communicating- cool

Can I mount a GME AEM3 AM/FM antenna on the bullbar along with a 47 series UHF antenna, opposite sides of course? Cheers

Upgrade the crap uniden In the landcruiser. A couple new hand helds for hunting. And one of those fancy PLB would be nice.

How good, great work! I would be getting a few PLB’s and handhelds and get a mate an 5w in car radio and aerial!

A PLB and a couple of XRS handhelds and a XRS 4wd pack is what id be after. Not much i couldn’t cover with that setup.

I run GME in my twin locked Zook, but damn I would love to add some extra quality accessories and then fit out the Hilux if I had anything left.

Is this still active if so I would get some xrs for the fam when we go 4wding and tx4500s for the new kenworth we brought and the 3350 for a pushbike and the 3510s for the house and the trip head to the glass house then go to the cape then to the vic high country and anything in between cheers legends

Congrats on the 10K. I would get a PLB for peace of mind for the family and a couple of the XRS-330COB kits for some mates that dont have this gear at the moment.

Wow, where would I start if I won. I currently have no coms in my 2019 Amarock. Only bought it 5 months ago so got some work to do. First up I would go for an XRS connect 4wd pack not sure on what model yet so would definitely be asking you for advice on that one, then I'd go for a GPS personal beacon for our outback adventures, third I'd go for a set of your new hand held TX6165 radios for all those spotting and tricky 4wd sections where you need those coms outside the ute. And lastly, if theres still money to go around I'd buy my dad something for his Ranger for being such a top bloke. Trips planned once I get my ute set up are Cape York, Tasmania, the Kimberleys and Fraser Island, all places I've never been to. Always watch the boys from 4WD 24/7 go to these locations as well as yourself, in the decked out 80 series or patrol and keen to check them all out myself with my wife and two kids.

Wow a great prize ! If I had 2500 to spend on GME gear i would buy a radio and aerial combo for my 1993 Daihatsu rocky ute. I really want to do some big trips to Victoria and cape york and a uhf is my top priority for the rig. Also the piece of mind from a PLB would also fulfill my needs and satisfaction. Thanks All

Would deck out the Ranger and hook the crew up with some sick gear as well. #gme

Finally get rid of my oricom uhf that I can’t buy a new hand piece for anywhere 🙃 new Ariel’s and a plb for the old man’s boat, would be mint for trekking around NZ this summer

I'd love a two way for communications in WA, on canning stock route, oh and also a PLB

Great prize offer! Would install a 4wd Pack into my Jeep. Probably get an added tall aerial to swap out when needed. Also matching mobile handset to use remote from vehicle. Any left over go towards a PLB. Then hit the Vic High Country with peace of mind. Fingers crossed. Cheers.

I would.look at a plb so when adventuring have those emergency comms, paired with a portable and a mobile be good to go.

Yeah I’ll probably get handheld radio the whole crew and some radio for you when we’re going mustering so if somebody gets here we can work out where they are for more safety reasons

Would definitely fix my radio Problem and swap it out with a XRS390C with the Bluetooth module and get a 2.1 and 8.1 DBI wips to swap out when in the different parts of NSW. I would also get a PLB for the 80 series Bus when travelling remote as well some handhelds for spotting in the 80. Then to finish it off I would get a 5G extender. Then put one in the hundo as well.

PLB and XRS 660 and taking it everywhere
