UHF CB gets hands free off-grid with GME Bluetooth XRS-BT1 innovation
A leading Australian communications and safety brand, GME, has launched a brand new wireless push-to-talk UHF CB radio accessory, XRS-BT1. Developed for use within professional and recreational vehicles, the device provides a new and improved way for Australians to stay connected.
With safety at the core of the innovation, users will now be able to connect their GME UHF CB radio directly to Bluetooth® accessories, such as headphones and vehicle stereo systems, enabling high quality audio for users. The device even includes Bluetooth® connection between UHF CB radios and compatible hearing aids, allowing users who are hearing impaired to be able to discern radio transmissions without any interference.
Keep Both Hands on the Wheel
The Push-To-Talk button allows drivers to use their UHF CB radio while navigating difficult driving conditions or rougher terrain when drivers would prefer to keep both hands on the wheel.
The XRS-BT1 kit comes with a plethora of accessories to cater to the needs of all drivers, including a dash mounting option and a wired microphone for truckies or farmers who need quick, hands-free communication on-the-go, or caravaners who are navigating new landscapes while dialled into Channel 18 to stay connected.
GME’s head of marketing and product Tony Crooke commented: “We’re proud to introduce yet another market-leading product to help keep Aussies safe when they’re travelling out on the roads or in rural areas. Customers can now talk on their UHF radio while driving, without even needing to pick up the microphone.
“Safety and quality is our passion, and like all of our products before it – the XRS-BT1 has undergone rigorous testing to ensure years of reliable performance in harsh Australian conditions.”
The all-new XRS-BT1 is the latest addition to GME’s extensive range of RF communication devices. The product features an interface module bringing Bluetooth® audio connectivity and wireless Push-to-Talk (PTT) functionality to the full range of XRS™ Connect UHF CB Radios.
