Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Audiovox 1222CH 2-way radio is solid 2-way radio that won't set you back a month's pay. It also comes with a dual desktop charger and AC wall charger: an essential option for those who use their radios often. The radios have the key features you expect in a GMRS 2- way: a five mile range, hands free capability, twenty-two channels (each with thirty-eight privacy sub-channels), a detachable swivel carry clip, a backlit LCD screen, scan button, and full electronic channel and volume controls. You receive two radios so you and your communicating partner are ready to go. This package comes with eight AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries. If you run on normal alkaline batteries you can expect a run time of fourteen to thirty hours; these numbers are a little less with the NiMH. This is a simple, but useful 2-way radio package. Note: as with most five mile range GMRS radios, this one requires a FCC license.

What's in the Box
Two GMRS1222CH 2-way radios, dual desk top charger, AC wall charger, eight rechargeable NiMH AAA batteries, belt clip, a user's manual, and a 90 day parts and labor warranty.

These radios have excellent range, good battery life and included the charger. I paid over TWICE as much for just the radios themselves WITHOUT batteries or the charger at a retail store one year ago.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fairly dissapointed on the quality of these radios, May 23, 2005

I bought these radios intending to use them only occasionally and in an urban setting. Here is how it went:
The units themselves are very nice looking and have many useful features such as voice activated transmission, a backlit display and roger beep tone. You get 8 rechargeable batteries and swivel-belt clips along with the radios themselves and the dual desk-top charger. The range is about 2 miles although the manufacturer claims 5 miles. But most companies make these claims based on the range you might get under absolutely perfect conditions.
I was very happy with these radios but after only 2 months of very light use one of the radios failed. One of the radios is stuck in "busy" mode and thus it is basically useless (these units are manufactured in China).
My experience with Audiovox in the past has been good so I thought I was just unlucky so I went ahead and bought the "Audiovox GMRS6000-2PK 6-Mile GMRS 2-Way Radio Twin Pack with Bonus Package" which I have also reviewed so head over to that review to read the conclusion of my ordeal.

Uhg! What junk! When I was a kid 40 years ago, the walkie-talkies we played with were better than this junk. My son got this as a gift from the g-parents if I recall right, some 4 years ago. The charger is poor to say the least, and the unit is very difficult for a kid to understand how to use it properly. When you can get it to charge, it always takes awhile to figure the thing out again. Do not buy this junk.
