INTRODUCTION
Your GME XRS-330C 80 channel radio is Australian designed and
manufactured and is the most advanced UHF Citizen Band radio
available. It combines the very latest in electronic hardware with
the most up-to-date computer aided design and manufacturing
techniques to produce an extremely super compact mobile radio
with outstanding specifications, features and performance.
The XRS Connect speaker microphone with OLED display and front
mounted speaker provides clear sound and total control from
the palm of your hand allowing your radio to be mounted almost
anywhere in your vehicle.
XRS Connect are the first UHF CB radios with an app to configure
and control the radio. Visit gme.net.au/GETXRS for more
information.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING UHF CB RADIO
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.
NOTE: While operating on the UHF CB band you may still
encounter older 40 channel radios on channels 1 to 40, with the
possibility of minor interference and varying levels of received
volume.
•
If the incoming speech sounds loud and distorted, simply
adjust your radio volume for best performance or alternatively,
enable the radio's Dynamic Volume Control feature which will
automatically compensate for this effect.
•
If an older 40 channel radio is transmitting nearby on a channel
adjacent it may cause interference to your reception. Simply
move up or down a few channels from your currently selected
channel.
The above situations are not a fault of the radio but a symptom of
operating older 40 channel and newer 80 channel radios within the
same band. Any possibility of interference will decrease over time
as the population of 40 channel radios ages and decreases.

www.acma.gov.au and the MED, Radio Spectrum Management at:

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.
BACK TO CONTENTS
In the event additional telemetry/telecommand channels are
approved by the ACMA, these channels shall be added to those
currently listed where voice transmission is inhibited.
Currently transmissions on channels 61, 62 and 63 are also
inhibited and these channels are reserved for future use.
FEATURES
Transmit (TX)
Individually Programmable DUPLEX Function: User selectable
for only those individual channels in your area that have repeaters,
leaving the others free for use as extra simplex channels.
Receive (RX)
Squelch Tail: Can be switched off to eliminate the audible noise
burst normally heard when the Squelch closes.
User Programmable Receive Channels: 8 zones of 50 channels
per zone for a total of 400 additional receive-only channels.
Digital Signal-Strength Meter: Provides a numeric signal
strength indication in numbers from 0 to 9+.
Scanning and memory functions
Microprocessor Controlled Frequency Synthesiser: Allows
user programmable control of scanning, channel memories and
selected feature options.
Programmable Scan Function: Scans the selected UHF CB
channels with Open, Priority and Network scan functions available.
Priority Channel: A user programmable Priority channel for
instant recall at the press of a key.
Signal processing
Digital Signal Processing (DSP): Measures, filters and
compresses standard analogue audio signals and converts them
into digital format. Allows advanced RF and audio processing
techniques to be applied to maximise the radio's performance.
Advanced Signal Management (ASM): Identifies interference
caused by strong local signals on adjacent channels and prevents
these from opening your Squelch. ASM also minimises distortion
on reception by fine tuning the receiver frequency to match that of
the incoming signal.
Dynamic Volume Control (DVC): Automatically compensates
for variations in received audio level to provide a constant audio
output level to the speaker.
Privacy functions
Voice Inversion Scrambler: When activated, scrambles your voice
so that communications are only intelligible to others using the
same scrambler technology.
Inbuilt CTCSS and DCS: User selectable Continuous Tone Coded
Squelch System and Digital Coded Squelch system provides silent
operation on individual channels.
In-Built SelCall with Quiet Mode: Provides selective calling of
individuals or groups with fully user-adjustable 5-tone transmitted
SelCall Ident. Also allows alphanumeric naming of up to 20 Idents
for easier caller identification.
Physical properties
Over Voltage Protection: Special over voltage detection circuitry
protects the radio and warns of excessive voltage conditions on
the display.
Rugged Construction: With die-cast chassis.
