For years, American overlanders have seen their Australian counterparts using legendary GME radios and wondered when they’d be available stateside. That wait is finally over. GME, a brand with a 65-year history of building tough-as-nails radios for the outback, has officially landed in the U.S. with a full lineup of GMRS radios and antennas aimed directly at the American overlanding community.

XRS 330C And 370C For Overlanders

GME’s new XRS GMRS line kicks off with two models for the typical overland truck or SUV. They both share a crisp OLED screen and a loud 2-watt speaker in the mic so you can actually hear what the other person is saying over engine and road noise. The XRS 330C is a tiny, hide-away unit perfect for new trucks like Tacomas where dash space is a joke. For older, noisier rigs, the XRS 370C is the better bet; it has a metal case and a second speaker in the main unit for even more volume.

The Hardcore XRS 390C and other GME Radios

For the hardcore crowd with buggies, UTVs, or dedicated crawlers, GME built the XRS 390C. GME builds this thing to take abuse—it’s IP67 waterproof, dustproof, and it meets military standards for shock and vibration. The coolest feature on these GME radios is the mic, which has its own Global Positioning System (GPS) built in, so you can share your location without needing your phone connected.

Shared Features and Smart Design

One of the smartest features GME included is their magnetic mic mount, which comes standard on the 370C. Instead of fumbling to clip the mic back in place while you’re bouncing down a trail, you just get it close, and the magnet snaps it home. Tony Crooke, group marketing manager of GME, summed it up perfectly: “Now, if you’ve never used one of these before, when you do use one, you’ll never look back.”

A New Standard in Quality

GME isn’t just another electronics brand jumping into the overlanding scene. They’ve spent 65 years building a reputation in Australia for making gear that simply works and doesn’t break in harsh conditions. By bringing that same build quality and thoughtful design to the U.S., GME is offering a new, premium choice for American adventurers who are tired of cheap radios. GME builds these radios differently, and for a lot of people, that’s exactly what they’ve been waiting for.
