Stay Connected
Call Tone and Roger Beep
A call tone and roger beep helps you know when transmissions to and from someone are beginning or ending. The GMR1235-2 features both, and you can turn the roger beep off if you'd prefer.
Easily Reduce Interference
The GMR1235-2 is equipped with an automatic squelch system, which shuts off weak transmissions and unwanted noise caused by terrain conditions or reaching your your range limit.
AAA Battery Power With Automatic Power Save
GMR1235-2 radios are powered by three AAA batteries, and features a unique circuit designed to dramatically extend battery life. If there are neither transmissions nor incoming calls for 2 seconds, the radio switches to Power Save mode. The radio is still able to receive transmissions in this mode.
In addition, the radio features a battery strength meter, to show you when it's time to charge.
These radios feature a range of up to 12 miles--you'll get the best range in areas without obstructions.
Wide 12-Mile Range
Use the radios when camping, hiking, hunting, or even for keeping in contact with another person in town. The GMR1235-2 radios offer plenty of options with a range of up to 12 miles. (As with all GMRS radios, you'll get more range in open terrain than in areas with many high buildings.)
Finding Channels
The GMR1235-2 radio boasts a channel scan feature that lets you easily scan all 22 channels (15 GMRS, 7 FRS). When an active channel is detected, the unit pauses on that channel until the channel is clear. After a two-second delay, the radio will continute scanning. Pressing the PTT (aka Push to Transmit) button while the scan is paused on a channel will allow you to transmit on that channel.
Note: License Required
Note that the GMR1235-2 radios operate on the General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) frequencies, which require a Federal Communications Commission License to operate. For licensing information and application forms call (800) 418-3676 or (888) 225- 5322.

Looks like a toy, works like the real thing,

This review is from: Uniden GMR1235-2 12-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio (Pair) (Electronics)
Those Uniden GMR1235-2 2-way Radios are so compact, you can easily hold both in one hand (see my Customer Image). They are also very inexpensive (around $20 for a pair), so one may think of them as just toys for kids, But in fact they can be used by kids and adults alike - provided that you start with the correct expectation.
First of all, forget about the manufacturer's claim of '12-mile' range. That is only possible under the most optimistic test condition (transmitting from one hill top to another with clear line-of-sight). In an urban environment, you are lucky if you can get one or two miles. With this limited range in mind, this walkie talkie set can still be very useful in many places (such as in a National Park, or a large shopping mall). The sound quality is quite decent - similar to an AM radio. Next, this thing is a battery-eater if you use disposable alkaline cells (three AAA per radio). The manufacturer claims an average battery life of '20 hours'. But again, this is under a special test condition of '5/5/90', which means 5% transmit, 5% receive, and 90% idle time. The device consumes different amount of current during different operation modes, as shown below: - While transmitting: 400mA - While receiving: 50-100mA (depending on volume level) - While idling: around 15mA. If you do a lot of transmission, a set of alkaline cells is likely to run flat in less than two hours (because alkaline cells are very inefficient at high current). My advice is to buy some good quality AAA rechargeable cells, such as the Sanyo Eneloop or Rayovac Hybrid, to power those radios. That way, not only will you save money on batteries, you can even get longer run time per charge. [Update on June 8, 2011] I should add that this pair of walkie-talkie is still working well after 2.5 years, and I'm still using the same set of rechargeable batteries (Kodak Pre-Charged AAA) in them.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A steal of a deal!,
This review is from: Uniden GMR1235-2 12-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio (Pair) (Electronics)
I bought a pair to see how they would work for a local communications net and they were great! Sure, they lack a lot of the fancy bells and whistles but they have range and clarity that some of the other hand-held radios in the net lacked. Some of the other members were so impressed, they wanted to know where they could get some. I'm buying some more now before these babies sell out, again!
Good, basic communication option. Fairly long range, easy to use, batteries included, and good price. What's not to love?

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Uniden GMR1235-2 12-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio (Pair) (Electronics)
Bought these as knock around radios for the kids so they didn't need to play with my nicer Motorola talkabouts. For the price these are excellent radios. They have been tested out to just under 1 mile over water (opposite sides of the local lake). The included batteries are kind of like the inkjet cartridges you get with your printer... just enough juice for you to test the product, but not enough for real work. Don't head into the field on the included batteries! A buddy and I hiked into a high mountain lake to fly fish with these radios and they were great for us to brag "fish on" when we were too far apart to see each other. At $10 each they were a guilt free purchase, even knowing they won't see daily use. Very happy with the quality and performance at this price point.
