The GME CB Radio range is well-regarded for those looking for a premium walkie talkie experience for work or when camping off-grid. The GME TX6165 CB Radio sits at the top of the range, offering plenty of features in small but solidly built dimensions. But is it any good? In his GME TX6165 review, tech vlogger Chris Stead tells you the pros and cons. He takes the CB on an off-grid GME TX6165 test expedition.
Is this the best walkie talkie for kids? Best CB radio when camping? Best camping gear in general?
