Stay connected with your buddies while on the trail, at the baseball game, or anywhere else within a 6-mile range with this pair of GMR638-2 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 38 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 button while the scan is paused.
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 include a pair of belt clips for efficient transport and run on either four AAA batteries or a single NiMH battery pack (not included). Each radio also comes with a battery-level meter on its display to indicate the power level.
What's in the Box
Two GMR638-2 radios, two belt clips, user's manual.

Great for keeping track of my kids.......2006-07-22
Worth The Price.......2006-03-12
However the claim of a 6-mile range has yet to be substantiated and appears to depends largely on a clear and completely unobstructed line-of-sight.
In reality the practical range is more like half a mile to a mile and then only when using the GMRS channels; FRS channels have a hard time reaching beyond 200-250 yards in urban use!
The belt clips supplied with the units are practically useless as they grip poorly but did help point up the durability of the units: I dropped one out of my pocket onto rough pavement going around a corner on my motor scooter at about 25mph and after retrieving the radio (thankfully NOT run over) discovered it not only held together and functioned perfectly, it did not even show evidence of any cosmetic damage!
The supplied battery packs take and hold a charge from the drop-in charging cradle approximately 3 times as long as alkaline batteries.
The radios themselves are feature-rich yet relatively uncomplicated, and includes squelch sub-codes for each channel which aids in clear communications and a scan feature that's handy for monitoring multiple channels.
These units would be entirely suitable for keeping in touch at swap meets or sporting events or between vehicles driving cross country, but don't expect to talk across town with them.
Not bad - not quite 6 miles though.......2006-02-22
what a radio .......2005-12-31

Fairly Decent -- I've Used Better, And I've Used Worse.......2006-07-02
I used these on a 10-acre location with plenty of trees and a few buildings. The owner was inside a trailer, which is referred to in geek terms as a Faraday cage, since it's surrounded in metal.
The 638's performed flawlessly, and with very good audio. We used channel 13 with a privacy code, with no difficulty.
Normally, I'm a Motorola user, but I'd take a pair of these just because they're lower-priced. But, if I'm gonna switch to using Uniden radios, I may as well get their top-of-the-line with "all the tricks", because it'd be worth the money.
Bottom line: GET THESE if you want a basic radio with basic tone squelch (privacy codes) and you'll do just fine. Otherwise, look at Uniden's more expensive models with weather alert and more privacy codes.
Good Range.......2006-02-14
Wouldn't be without it.......2005-09-03
I am disabled and these radios allow me to be in voice contact with my helpers at all times. They can be outside or on a different floor in the house and I can call them with crystal clear reception, always. The radios have never failed to work, and have gone as long as 48hrs. without being recharged and were still working well. The only reason I gave a 4 rating rather than a 5 is because on occassion 1 of the units sqwaks and during the night it is a rude awakening, but it only happens occassionally.
