INTRODUCTION
Your GME XRS-370C 80 channel radio is Australian designed and manufactured
and is the most advanced UHF Citizen Band radio available. It combines the very
latest in electronic hardware with the most up-to-date computer aided design
and manufacturing techniques to produce a super compact mobile radio with
outstanding specications, features and performance.
The XRS Connect speaker microphone with OLED display and front mounted
speaker provides clear sound and total control from the palm of your hand
allowing your radio to be mounted almost anywhere in your vehicle.
XRS Connect are the rst UHF CB radios with an app to congure and control the
radio. Visit gme.net.au/GETXRS for more information.
FEATURES
This section lists the various features available on your XRS Connect radio.
• Transmit (TX)
• Individually Programmable Duplex Function: User selectable
for only those individual channels in your area that have repeaters,
leaving the others free for use as extra simplex channels.
• Receive (RX)
• Squelch Tail:Can be switched o to eliminate the audible noise
burst normally heard when the Squelch closes.
• User Programmable Receive Channels: 8 zones of 50 channels
per zone for a total of 400 additional receive-only channels.
• Digital Signal-Strength Meter: Provides a numeric signal
strength indication in numbers from 0 to 9+.
• Scanning and memory functions
• Microprocessor Controlled Frequency Synthesiser: Allows
user programmable control of scanning, channel memories and
selected feature options.
• Programmable Scan Function: Scans the selected UHF CB
channels with Open, Priority and Network scan functions available.

XRS-370C 7
• Priority Channel: A user programmable Priority channel for
instant recall at the press of a key.
• Signal processing
• Digital Signal Processing (DSP): Measures, lters and
compresses standard analogue audio signals and converts them
into digital format. Allows advanced RF and audio processing
techniques to be applied to maximise the radio’s performance.
• Advanced Signal Management (ASM): Identies interference
caused by strong local signals on adjacent channels and prevents
these from opening your Squelch. ASM also minimises distortion
on reception by ne tuning the receiver frequency to match that of
the incoming signal.
• Dynamic Volume Control (DVC): Automatically compensates
for variations in received audio level to provide a constant audio
output level to the speaker.
• Privacy functions
• Voice Inversion Scrambler: When activated, scrambles your
voice so that communications are only intelligible to others using
the same scrambler technology.
• In-built CTCSS and DCS: User selectable Continuous Tone Coded
Squelch System and Digital Coded Squelch system provides silent
operation on individual channels.
• In-Built SelCall with Quiet Mode: Provides selective calling of
individuals or groups with fully user-adjustable 5-tone transmitted
SelCall Ident. Also allows alphanumeric naming of up to 20 Idents
for easier caller identication.
• Physical properties
• Over Voltage Protection: Special over voltage detection circuitry
protects the radio and warns of excessive voltage conditions on
the display.
• Rugged Construction: With die-cast chassis.
• User controls and interface
• Full Function Controller Microphone: Includes front mounted
speaker to channel clear audio towards the user.
