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 GMR638-2CK 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 also include a pair of belt clips for efficient transport, along with a charging cradle (with two charging slots) and two 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 GMR638-2CK radios, two belt clips, charging cradle with AC adapter, two NiMH batteries, user's manual.

Customer Reviews:

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.

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.

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.

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

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!!
