Introduction
Building on the market-leading innovation of GME’s popular range of
XRS™Connect UHF CB Radios, the Australian Made XRS-660 oers
a number of exciting new features, clearly demonstrating GME’s
ongoing commitment to the development of new technology for UHF
CB Radio users.
The XRS-660 is the rst Handheld UHF CB radio to feature a colour
TFT LCD screen, providing the ultimate Handheld radio display for all
environmental conditions – even in full sunlight.
Bluetooth® audio connectivity allows the XRS-660 to wirelessly
connect to an extensive range of third-party audio accessories,
providing users with new and improved ways to stay connected.
Built-in GPS functionality ensures the XRS-660 can provide true
location awareness without relying on a smartphone to provide GPS
location data. This capability is particularly useful in commercial
applications where location tracking of users in remote areas may be
required for workplace safety.
Featuring rugged IP67 Ingress Protection and a MIL-STD810G rating,
the XRS-660 is our toughest and most advanced handheld radio yet.

The use of the Citizen Band radio service is licensed in
Australia by the Australian Communications and Media
Authority (ACMA) Radio communications (Citizens Band
Radio Station Class Licence and in New Zealand by the
Ministry of Economic Development New Zealand (MED)).
A General User Radio Licence for Citizens Band radio
and operation is subject to conditions contained in
those licences.
The class licence for users and equipment operating in the
CB/PRS 477 MHz band was amended in 2011 to include
80 channels. This radio meets the 80 channel standard.
Further information and updates are available from
the ACMA at www.acma.gov.au and the MED, Radio
Spectrum Management at: www.rsm.govt.nz
Emergency channels
The ACMA has allocated channels 5/35 for emergency
use only. Channel 5 is the primary Simplex Emergency
Channel. Where a Channel 5 repeater is available, you
should select Duplex on CH 5.
NOTE: Channel 35 is the input channel for the Channel 5
repeater therefore Channel 35 should also not be used for
anything other than emergency transmissions.
Telemetry Channels
ACMA regulations have allocated channels 22 and 23
for telemetry only applications and have prohibited the
transmission of speech on these channels. Consequently
your radio has a transmit-inhibit applied to channels 22
and 23. Currently transmissions on channels 61, 62 and
63 are also inhibited and these channels are reserved
for future use.
