GME TX4610 5 Watt IP67 UHF CB Radio

IP67 Waterproof 5W UHF CB Radio and Microphone for ATVs, Farm Machinery and Plant Equipment 5-Year Warranty

Product Overview

The GME TX4610 is a 5W IP67-rated UHF CB radio designed for the most demanding and harsh operating environments specifically suited to ATVs, farm machinery, and plant equipment where exposure to dust, water, and physical impact is routine. The IP67 rating applies to both the radio body and the supplied microphone, ensuring the complete installation is waterproof to 1 metre submersion and fully dust-tight.

The compact chassis includes a large tri-colour backlit LCD display and 5-digit Selcall. The IP67 professional-grade microphone includes channel up/down keys and a priority channel button enabling one-handed operation of key functions without touching the radio head.

Installation is flexible: a metal mounting bracket is supplied as standard, with an optional MK008B flush mount kit for a clean in-panel installation. 19 programmable receive-only channels extend monitoring beyond the standard UHF CB band.

Five-year warranty the longest in the GME UHF CB fixed mount range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does IP67 mean for a UHF CB radio?

IP67 means the radio is fully dust-tight (IP6x — no dust ingress) and waterproof to 1 metre submersion for 30 minutes (IPx7). For a UHF CB installed on an ATV or farm machinery, this means the radio can withstand direct rain, mud spray, wash-down procedures, river crossings, and dust from machinery operation without ingress damage. Most standard UHF CB radios are rated IP54 or lower and would not survive these conditions long-term.

Why is the IP67 rating on the microphone particularly important?

On most waterproof radios, the microphone is the weakest point — the standard supplied microphones for most UHF CB radios are not waterproof rated, meaning that even an IP67-rated radio can fail through microphone damage from water. The TX4610's IP67-rated microphone ensures the entire operator-facing system — radio, cable, and microphone — can withstand the same harsh conditions. The channel up/down and priority channel buttons on the mic also allow complete single-handed operation without needing to reach the radio head.

What is the MK008B optional flush mount kit?

The MK008B is a flush mount kit that allows the TX4610 to be installed flush into a panel cutout on a vehicle, machinery cab, or console — similar to a car radio installation but without the DIN slot. This gives a cleaner, more integrated appearance compared to a surface-mounted bracket installation. The MK008B is not included with the TX4610 — it is purchased separately.

Why does the TX4610 have a 5-year warranty while other GME radios have 3 years?

The TX4610's 5-year warranty reflects the higher durability standard of its IP67-rated design — GME is confident the TX4610 will perform reliably for longer in harsh environments. This also makes the TX4610 a more suitable investment for commercial and agricultural applications where radio downtime has direct operational costs.

What applications is the TX4610 best suited for?

The TX4610 is specifically designed for ATVs (quad bikes, side-by-sides), tractors and harvesters, excavators and earthmoving equipment, forklifts, and other plant and farm machinery — any application where the radio will be exposed to dust, mud, heavy rain, agricultural chemicals, and wash-down procedures that standard mobile radios are not designed to handle.
