Amazon.com Product Description
Stay connected with your buddies while hiking on the trail, riding the ski lift, or exploring other locations within a 7-mile range with this pair of GMRS720 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 the optional HS 2467 headset microphone (sold separately). 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).It's easy to browse for channels thanks to the channel scan feature, which looks for active signals while you view the display, and the monitor function, which listens for weak signals on a given channel. And talking on the radio couldn't be simpler--just hit the PTT button when you're ready to transmit. 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.
Each GMRS720 radio also receives seven NOAA National Weather Service channels along with emergency/weather alerts. When in emergency/weather alert mode, the system functions as it does in GMRS/FRS mode, but also monitors the selected channel for tornado, thunderstorm, tsunami, and other weather warnings. When using the weather function, users can't receive GMRS communications, however.
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 headset jack, and your choice of five different call tones. And no worries about running out of power too quickly, as the radios run for around 18 hours each on four AA batteries--a duration aided by the power save mode. The entire bundle, which includes eight AA batteries to get you started and a pair of belt clips for efficient transport, is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
