GME TX6165 5/1W Handheld UHF CB Radio is a portable communication device used by traffic controllers, civil crews and contractors to maintain clear, reliable communication across active worksites, mobile operations and convoy movements. It is deployed where consistent coordination is required between team members, plant operators and supervisors working across changing site conditions.

This unit is designed for handheld use, allowing operators to communicate while on foot, directing traffic, moving through work zones or operating around plant and equipment. Its compact form factor supports day-to-day site use where fixed communication systems are not practical, including roadside works, civil construction and utility maintenance activities.

The TX6165 operates at up to 5W output with selectable 5W/1W transmission power and provides access to 80 UHF CB channels in the Australian 476–477 MHz band. It includes scan, dual and triple watch, and VOX hands-free functionality, supporting flexible communication across site-based and mobile environments. A 2600mAh lithium-ion battery delivers extended operating time of up to approximately 30 hours (low power), allowing continuous use across full work shifts without frequent recharging.

Built for ongoing site use, the radio features a compact housing with IP67 ingress protection against dust and water exposure. It is suited to outdoor environments including rain, dust and vibration, with a high-contrast display, rotary power and volume control, and a 2W speaker supporting clear audio in noisy worksite conditions.

The TX6165 is supplied as a complete communication kit including rechargeable battery pack, desktop charger, AC adaptor, antenna, belt clip, waterproof speaker microphone, earpiece microphone and 12V vehicle charger, allowing immediate deployment across site operations without requiring additional components.
