GME’S 6160XO COMPACT HANDHELD UHF IS A RELIABLE COMMUNICATOR IN ALL CONDITIONS.

- MATT RAUDONIKIS

ANY TIME we’re out and about in the bush, we like to keep in touch with the other vehicles and people in our group. As a lot of the cars we drive are new vehicles owned by the manufacturers they don’t have UHF radios fitted to them, so we rely on handheld radios for convoy comms.

Also, when we have someone joining us on a trip or road test we insist they bring a handheld and that it should be a five-watt unit, as the lower-powered, cheaper units just don’t cut it for reliable communications. For us this is a safety issue, as we’re photographing or filming cars often on narrow dirt roads and we need to communicate with other drivers or the photographers that might be over a rise or around the next bend.
