XRS Connect - A New Era In GMRS 2-Way Radio Your GME XRS Connect Two-Way radio is designed, engineered, and manufactured in Australia and is the most advanced GMRS radio available. XRS Connect Two-Way radios combine the latest in electronic hardware and software to produce an extremely compact GMRS radio with innovative features and outstanding specifications and performance. The XRS Connect speaker microphone with high-contrast display and front-mounted speaker provides clear sound and total control from the palm of your hand. The XRS Connect app allows you to easily configure and update your radio via a compatible smartphone. Visit gmeus.com for more information. XRS Active Mute XRS Connect Active Mute allows users to manually mute the radio when receiving a phone call to their mobile phone. The XRS Connect App is able to detect incoming phone calls and automatically mute the XRS Connect radio for the duration of the call, ensuring uninterrupted phone conversations. XRS Connect Active Mute uses smart phone and Bluetooth technology to either mute or lower the XRS Connect radio volume automatically when the user makes or receives a phone call. This allows the user to focus on their conversation rather than manually adjusting the volume on the XRS Connect radio. XRS™ Voice Playback XRS Connect Voice Playback, enables users to record voice transmissions received from other radios. Ideal for noisy cabins or for users who are in and out of their vehicles, this feature makes missing transmissions an issue of the past. XRS Connect Voice Playback records and stores the first 30 seconds of each received transmission, with a total recording time of 12 minutes. XRS Crewtalk CrewTalk is a new XRS feature that allows you to automatically configure pre-defined Net-Scan lists to allow a group of users to have communications with far less chance of being blocked by users outside your group, or hearing unwanted transmissions. When CrewTalk is configured, normal scan functionality is overridden. Whenever scanning is started by pressing the SCAN button, CrewTalk will be active. The radio display will indicate that XRS CrewTalk scan is active, and indicate the Group number that is being used. If other radios in the group are configured to enable CrewTalk with the same Group number, and they are scanning, the radios in the group can communicate with limited outsider interference, using Net-Scan in a transparent way.
