Stay connected with your buddies while on the trail, at the river, or anywhere else within a 10-mile range with this pair of GMR1088-2CK two-way radios. Also ideal as neighborhood watch tools and kid-sitting aids, each water-resistant radio features 22 channels (15 GMRS, 7 FRS) and 99 CTCSS/DSC privacy codes, along with a voice-operated transmitter that enables hands-free communication when used with an optional HS 2467 headset and microphone. The large number of channels and privacy codes give users several communication options, ensuring that they can almost always talk with friends or family via an exclusive, uninterrupted signal. The channels are easy to find thanks to the channel scan feature, which browses for active channels while you watch, and the channel monitor function, which listens for weak signals on a given channel. To transmit on a GMRS or FRS channel, a user merely presses the PTT or power-boost button while the scan is paused. The power-boost button expands the radio's range by emitting maximum power when a GMRS channel is detected. The radios are also equipped with a NOAA National Weather Service receiver. In weather-alert mode, the system functions as it does in GRMS mode, but also monitors the selected weather channel for storm updates and other information. When using the weather function, users can't receive GMRS communications, however.
Additional features include a backlit LCD display, keypad lock, and a choice of five different call tones. The selectable tones are ideal for groups with several radios, as it lets users differentiate between calls. The radios also include a pair of belt clips for efficient transport, along with two charging cradles and accompanying NiMH battery packs. Each radio also comes with a battery-level meter on its display to indicate the power level.
What's in the Box
Two GMR1088-2CK radios, two belt clips, two charging cradles with AC adapters, two NiMH batteries, user's manual.

Nice Pair of Radios.......2006-04-27
Regarding exposure to water, the term "water resistent" means that it can stand up to water spray at low velocity (like rain), or a shower. For the ability to handle submersion, a device needs to be "water proof", and this is typically rated with a maximum static pressure depth (for example, 100 meters). Even devices labelled waterproof to a shallow depth like 5 meters can be overcome by a drop into water, due to the force of water in that situation. This is all true for all devices: watches, cameras, cell phones, whatever. As an added note, the owner's manual specifically carries the warning not to submerge the unit in water. To be able to float in water and handle dynamic submersion, you need an enclosure case of some kind. And no fair complaining that these are "big" when you add it.
Regarding range, some reviewers may be confusing the FRS bands (channels 8-14) with the GMRS bands (channels 1-7 and 15-22). Only GMRS bands have the extended range; FRS bands are limited to a maximum range of 3 miles, while the GMRS channels can hit 10 miles using the power boost button (and under the right conditions). Note that transmitting in the GMRS band requires an FCC license, which currently costs $80 for a five-year license. I wonder if the reviewers who complained of range were transmitting in the FRS band, not realizing the difference.
By the way, the shorter-range FRS bands are still handy, since they effectively eliminate long-distance chatter that would otherwise be within range of the GMRS bands.
Less range than old FRS radio!.......2005-12-27
They seem to receive well and the weather alert functions well and seems fairly sensitive.
If you don't need a long range they are ok. Quite a disappointment for power/range though.
Were I to be able to do it over I think I'd look to another brand. This is currently their top-end model.
Water resistant means splash or light rain not submerged!!!.......2005-11-04
Please be fair! water resistant does not equal submerging it!!!

Great 2-way radios for us regulars.......2005-09-27
Bought a pair to use at my wedding, since it was at a mountainous and expansive retreat. They proved to be an essential tool for the weekend. Worked well throughout the area. "Boost" button does make a difference when needed.
City usage is not very effective--don't expect more than a mile range (at least from my limited experience).
Great little walkie-talkies--just make sure you know your intended usage before you buy.
