Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Stay connected with your buddies while on the trail, at the baseball game, or anywhere else within a 10-mile range with this pair of GMR1038-2CK two-way radios. Also ideal as neighborhood watch tools and kid-sitting aids, each state-of-the-art radio features 22 channels (15 GMRS, 7 FRS) and 99 privacy codes per channel to help reduce interference.
Another great attribute of the GMR1038-2CK radios is their hands-free operation, which is made possible by a user selectable Voice Operated Transmitter (VOX) that can be used for automatic voice transmission. Transmission begins when you speak into the optional remote headset for snappy, hands-free communication that is both safe and efficient. The large number of channels and privacy codes give you several communication options that ensure you can almost always talk with your friends and family via an exclusive, uninterrupted signal. Plus, the channels are easy to find, thanks to the channel scan feature, which browses to active channels while you watch the display. And the channel monitor function listens for weak signals on a given channel with the press of a key.
 Stay in touch with friends and family with these easy-to-use GMR1038-2CK 10-mile, two-way radios. View larger. |
Additional features include a backlit LCD display that is easy to read under any lighting conditions, a keypad lock that prevents your settings from being accidentally changed, and a choice of five different call tones that offer distinctive ring options to easily identify who's calling. The radios are also equipped with a battery strength meter that monitors the status of the batteries so you can always stay in touch, a key beep audio confirmation of each button you press, and a "roger beep" tone to confirm to other users that you're done speaking. The built-in headset jack is for the optional headset mic, which provides hands-free operation. These radios are equipped with a charging unit that makes it easy to keep your radios charged and ready to go, and the radios can also be powered by four AAA alkaline batteries (not included).

Perfect price, perfect package, perfect performance,
By Outer Marker (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Uniden GMR1038-2CK 10-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radios (Pair) (Electronics)
For the purpose of this review, I am discussing the Uniden GMR1038-2CK radios with recharging base. Please note that some of the reviewers here are mistakenly referring to the other package which includes the same radios, but no recharging base. The other package costs less and forces you to use alkaline batteries which do not offer sufficient runtime to power these radios.
The radios come well packaged and well protected in a plastic blister pack. The radios come with 2 rechargeable battery packs (one for each radio) 2 belt clips, and a charging base. The instructions state that the radios should be charged for 16 hours before first use, and following these directions will give you the best battery life. By the way, the instructions are written in both English and Spanish. These radios are excellent. Out in the field the display is exceptionally easy to read. The digits are large, clear, and backlit in a green glow for night use. The buttons and controls are positioned perfectly so even people with larger hands will have no problems. In fact, these are probably the perfect radios if you will be wearing gloves while operating them. A word of caution... these radios are capable of working on FRS channels (no license required) and GMRS channels (FCC license required). An FCC radio license currently costs $75 for 5 years, but you are then legally entitled to use the GMRS channels. When you are using a GMRS channel, the radios automatically switch to high-power mode and you can approach 10 miles range (provided terrain is not an obstacle). If you use the free FRS channels, the radio will conform to FCC rules and broadcast at a lower power. I use the FRS channels and reception for me has been nothing short of fantastic. No static, excellent voice quality and surprising range are all features of this radio set. I gave my wife one as she drove to the local coffee shop. We had a clear conversation all the way up to the store (about 4 miles). Once she was inside the coffee shop the voice quality diminished, but never cut out completely. I was inside the house at the time. The battery indicator on each radio will let you know when the radios need to be recharged. In my experience you can get 3 days battery life in standby (the radios go to standby after 3 minutes). If you use the radios a lot and use them to replace a cell phone, you'll get a full day of use without problems. I did note that when the battery indicator comes on you really don't have a lot of time left before you better get the radios back to the recharging cradle. These radios were at the perfect price point, work as advertised, and are far better in range than the expensive Motorola units I have used. Well done Uniden!

Uniden GMR1038-2CK 22-Channel 10-Mile Two-Way Radios (Pair),

This review is from: Uniden GMR1038-2CK 10-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radios (Pair) (Electronics)
These radios are very good. Ten miles will be rare but possible, more likely 2-4. I used them on a ship & they worked all over especially through the decks-very happy with their performance. However don't get these without the battery pack, I did & used 4 AAAA rechargeable batteries. These didn't last long (4-6 hours) before having to be recharged (the battery pack that comes in the 2CK pack lasted 3 days on a charge) I was amazed at the difference. I went to order the battery pack but found it was almost as expensive as these radios are with batteries so I ended up ordering another radio/battery combo pack.
