GME US’s New XRS-660-U GMRS Radio Brings Location Awareness to a Handheld

The GPRS world has changed considerably over the past decade or so with companies steadily improving their offerings and increasing the breadth of solid offerings on the market. While these steady improvements have been welcome, it’s been awhile since something genuinely unique has come our way. GME US’s new handheld GMRS radio, the XRS-660-U, bucks that trend by offering something the market hasn’t seen before – location awareness through built-in GPS.
