I bought two of these units at Radio Shack to use for installing security surveillance cameras in properly aiming/focusing the cameras. I was quite literally on the rooftop for about 15 minutes, and had used a total of approximately 8 minutes of talk time when the first unit chewed through its batteries. Mine was then of course useless, but I used it the next day and installed fresh batteries into the other unit.

After about 10 minutes of talk time, these things chew through EVERY ounce of battery power. I assumed I had gotten bad batteries somehow, and tried new ones to no avail.

I logged into Amazon to see about getting a higher quality business band type radio and ran across the comment left by another here, and had to put my two cents in. I feel that these units are defective and strongly advise thinking twice about this purchase.

I have gone through about 36 batteries with these in about 2 days. don't buy these

The batteries will last maybe 5 minutes. These radios are worthless. Why did Uniden even bother making them? I think with only a little more time and effort, they could have solved this problem and had a decent product. It's not like they were pioneering new technology.
