Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Stay connected with your buddies while hiking on the trail, riding the ski lift, or exploring other locations within an 8-mile range with this pair of GMR895 two-way radios. Also ideal as a neighborhood watch tool and workplace aid, each radio features 22 channels (15 GMRS and 7 FRS) and 38 CTCSS privacy codes, along with a voice-activated transmitter that enables hands-free communication when used with an optional HS 2467 headset and microphone. The impressive range of channels and privacy codes gives you several communication options, ensuring that you can almost always talk with friends or family via an exclusive, uninterrupted signal (radios must be set on the same channel and code to communicate). As a bonus, each GMR895 radio also receives seven NOAA National Weather Service channels.

Browsing for channels is straightforward and intuitive thanks to the scan feature, which looks for active channels while you view the display, and the monitor function, which listens for weak signals on a given channel. To transmit on a GMRS or FRS channel, merely press the PTT button while the scan is paused. It's important to note that the transmission range will vary depending on the channel and the surrounding terrain. Should the signal prove too weak for a given situation, however, you can extend it via the Power Boost button.

Additional features include a backlit LCD display with a battery strength meter, a keypad lock that keeps you from accidentally pressing buttons at the wrong time (such as when a radio is in your pocket), a silent alert option that noiselessly alerts you of an incoming call, and your choice of five different call tones. The radios come with a single charging cradle that can accommodate both radios at once, two NiMH rechargeable battery packs, and two belt clips for efficient transport. The entire bundle is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

What's in the Box
Two GMR895 two-way radios, dual charging cradle, two NiMH batteries, two belt clips, user's manual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great 2-way and decent range, January 26, 2007

By	Matthew J. Miller (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very good set for the money, when my kids go to the local pool which is about 4 miles away, I still can hear them well. Its a durable set as I have dropped them on concrete and it still works perfect. The camo color is nice for hunting but it might spook the deer if you use them while undercover.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't expect so much, August 13, 2004

By	Ross - See all my reviews

The user manual is the same of GMR885, I think it is the same technology but with different color, you do not expect more.
I only got about .6 miles between my home and my job because there are some trees, the buildings are made of concrete, but with Motorola T5950 I got more or less the same performance, I think a litlle better with Motorola.

One of the radios was defective, but I returned to Amazon and they sent me a new pair in three days. This review was made with the new ones.
