GME ACC6160CK Complete In-Car Accessory Kit for TX6150, TX6155, and TX6160 Handheld UHF CB Radios
A three-piece in-car accessory kit from GME, the ACC6160CK bundles a 12/24V DC charging cradle, magnetic handheld mount, and magnetic base external antenna for the GME TX6160, TX6155, and TX6150 handheld UHF CB radios, providing a complete practical in-vehicle communication solution.
Product overview
The GME ACC6160CK is a three-piece in-car accessory kit for the GME TX6160, TX6155, and TX6150 handheld UHF CB radios. It provides everything needed to use these handhelds as a practical in-vehicle communication solution: a mountable 12V DC charging cradle for keeping the radio charged and accessible on the dash, a magnetic handheld mount for flexible positioning, and a magnetic base external antenna for improved vehicle transmission range.
The kit includes the BCV013 charging cradle, the MB207HH magnetic handheld mount, and the AE4026SMA magnetic mount UHF CB antenna.
Features and benefits
12/24V DC charging cradle (BCV013): Charges the TX6160, TX6155, or TX6150 from the vehicle's 12V DC power outlet. The cradle can be securely mounted to the dash or console for permanent in-vehicle positioning, and the 12/24V DC input range suits both standard 12V passenger vehicles and 24V commercial vehicles.
Magnetic handheld mount (MB207HH): A magnetic holder that can be positioned in the vehicle for quick access to the radio without removing it from the cradle, including a mounting bollard as a belt clip replacement for positioning inside the vehicle.
Magnetic mount UHF CB antenna (AE4026SMA): An external magnetic base antenna that mounts on the vehicle's exterior steel surface for improved transmission and reception compared to using the radio's internal antenna inside the vehicle, using an SMA connector.
Suits TX6150, TX6155, and TX6160: Covers the full current GME TX6xxx handheld family.
12/24V DC input: The charging cradle accepts both 12V and 24V DC input, confirming compatibility with passenger vehicles and commercial trucks and vehicles.

Frequently asked questions
What are the three components in the ACC6160CK kit and what does each do?
The BCV013 is a 12/24V DC charging cradle that mounts in the vehicle and keeps the radio charged from the vehicle's power system. The MB207HH is a magnetic handheld mount that holds the radio in an accessible position in the vehicle and includes a mounting bollard as a belt clip replacement. The AE4026SMA is a magnetic base external antenna that sits on the vehicle's exterior steel surface and connects to the radio for improved UHF range compared to the internal antenna.
What is the magnetic base UHF antenna and how does it work?
The AE4026SMA sits on any flat steel surface on the vehicle exterior such as the roof, bonnet, or roof rack base, and connects to the radio via a coaxial cable routed into the cabin. This places the antenna outside the vehicle with a good ground plane below it, significantly improving UHF transmission and reception compared to using the radio's built-in antenna inside the vehicle where the body blocks the signal. The connector is SMA.
What is the 12/24V DC input specification on the charging cradle?
The BCV013 charging cradle accepts 12V DC for standard passenger vehicles and 24V DC for commercial trucks and heavy vehicles. This dual voltage input means the ACC6160CK can be used in both passenger 4WD vehicles and commercial or agricultural vehicles without requiring a separate voltage adaptor.
What is the mounting bollard mentioned in the MB207HH features?
The mounting bollard is a component of the MB207HH magnetic mount that replaces the radio's belt clip when using the radio in-vehicle. Rather than the belt clip used for body carry, the bollard provides a mounting point for attaching the magnetic holder to a vehicle interior surface, allowing the radio to be held in a fixed, accessible position in the cabin.
Does the charging cradle charge the radio while it is being used?
The BCV013 cradle is designed to charge the TX6160, TX6155, or TX6150 while the radio is seated in it. Whether active transmit and receive operation affects charging rate is not confirmed in the available source data. Contact us for specific charge-while-in-use capability details.
