Uniden GMR638-2 22-Channel 6-Mile GMRS/FRS Two-Way Radios (Pair)

Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
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.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great for keeping track of my kids.......2006-07-22

I live in a typical suburban subdivision, absolutely indistinguishable from the hundreds of thousands of similar neighborhoods around the US. I give one of these to my kids and let them go to the parks, their friends' houses, etc. I can reach them easily and they can reach me. The reception is great for us, but we haven't tried it over about 3 miles.

4 out of 5 stars Worth The Price.......2006-03-12

At about $15 shipped these radios are certainly worth the price and function as an excellent intercom between houses on the property where I live. They also were useful at a recent convention held at the LAX Hilton where they communicated through 6 concrete floors!
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.

3 out of 5 stars Not bad - not quite 6 miles though.......2006-02-22

They are a good size and the charger is compact. However, not quite sure on the 6 miles as advertised - most channels get static and other people talking at less than 1 mile away.

4 out of 5 stars what a radio .......2005-12-31

this walkie talkie is awesome you can serew with people and make them really mad you can also do channel scans awesome! i recomand this walkie talke for sure. have fun

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful for kids.......2005-10-21

I bought these walkie talkies for my 5 year old son after reading poor reviews on the "toy" type walkie talkies. The reception is great, he takes one outside and leaves one with me so we can talk and he can check in with me. He has only taken them out into the front yard and across the cul de sac, so I'm not sure what kind of range they get but for short distances they are crystal clear. So far he has dropped them on the floor multiple times and left them on all night. They have not shown any signs of falling apart and battery life is looooong. The charging cradle that comes with it is wonderful as well. Highly recommended!!

4 out of 5 stars Fairly Decent -- I've Used Better, And I've Used Worse.......2006-07-02

These are not bad radios, but I didn't like that they run on AAA batteries, because hi-capacity AAA's just don't exist...I prefer AA cells. Currently, AAA Ni-MH cells are available in 1000mAH capacity, the higher the number the better.

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.

5 out of 5 stars Good Range.......2006-02-14

I'm not sure about the claimed 6 mile range but I use these to communicate with coworkers on the NYC Subway system.It comes in loud and clear from the 1st car to the last ,getting past all that metal,glass and electrical interference with no problem.

4 out of 5 stars Wouldn't be without it.......2005-09-03

Have had this unit for a long time, not exactly sure how long , but close to a year I think.
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.

Amazon.com Product Description

Stay connected with your buddies while hiking on the trail, riding the ski lift, or exploring other locations within a 6-mile range with this three pack of GMR638 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 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).

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.

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 roger beep that indicates the end of a transmission, and your choice of five different call tones. The radios also come with two charging cradles (one with two slots) that can accommodate all three radios at once, three NiMH rechargeable battery packs, and three belt clips for efficient transport. The entire bundle is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

What's in the Box
Three GMR638 two-way radios, three belt clips, one dual charging cradle with AC adapter, one single charging cradle with AC adapter, three rechargeable NiMH batteries, user's manual.

2 out of 5 stars Not sure if it covers 6 miles.......2007-01-04

works fine within apt complex. But when I tried using it on the road, I couldnt hear the voice when I was 2 miles away

1 out of 5 stars poor.......2007-01-03

Found these radios to have very poor reception even within a half mile of open, flat land. Sorry I purchased them, suited more for childrens back-yard play.

5 out of 5 stars Works for us!.......2006-11-10

I like that there are 3 units in this pack. My 6-yr-old granddaughter lives next door to us. She'll use the radio to let us know she is coming over. Because of the trees that line our lot, I can't see her until she clears them. I can't get a 6-mile range out of these where we live but they work great for short distances!

5 out of 5 stars Good value to the price.......2006-11-10

I was a little worry when I bought the product. Because it's price is much lower than similar products. It turns out working great for my purpose (tracking my son in the subdivision).

1 out of 5 stars What a mess!.......2006-11-10

What a mess! I don't know what to say. 6 miles? not even half a mile!! As simple as that.
