Amazon.com Product Description

Stay connected with your buddies while on the trail, at the baseball game, or anywhere else within a 10-mile range with this pair of GMR1038-2CK 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 99 privacy codes per channel to help reduce interference.

Stay in touch with friends and family with these easy-to-use GMR1038-2CK 10-mile, two-way radios. View larger.
Another great attribute of the GMR1038-2CK radios is their hands-free operation, which is made possible by a user selectable Voice Operated Transmitter (VOX) that can be used for automatic voice transmission. Transmission begins when you speak into the optional remote headset for snappy, hands-free communication that is both safe and efficient. The large number of channels and privacy codes give you several communication options that ensure you can almost always talk with your friends and family via an exclusive, uninterrupted signal. Plus, the channels are easy to find, thanks to the channel scan feature, which browses to active channels while you watch the display. And the channel monitor function listens for weak signals on a given channel with the press of a key.

Additional features include a backlit LCD display that is easy to read under any lighting conditions, a keypad lock that prevents your settings from being accidentally changed, and a choice of five different call tones that offer distinctive ring options to easily identify who's calling. The radios are also equipped with a battery strength meter that monitors the status of the batteries so you can always stay in touch, a key beep audio confirmation of each button you press, and a "roger beep" tone to confirm to other users that you're done speaking. The built-in headset jack is for the optional headset mic, which provides hands-free operation. These radios are equipped with a charging unit that makes it easy to keep your radios charged and ready to go, and the radios can also be powered by four AAA alkaline batteries (not included).

4 out of 5 stars They do the job.......2007-08-15

I got the $25 and free shipping offer, for this price they have no match...

2 out of 5 stars well, they do work.......2007-08-05

Bought this pair to go with another set of earlier models we have.
What a waste of time and money. Uniden should be ashamed of themselves!
Oh, they work just fine, but the rechargable battery life is ABISMAL!(sp?)
After less than four hours of hanging on my belt, with all of ten minutes of transmit time, the "low battery" warning beep goes off, and the battery gauge shows "all gone"!.
The older set we use will last thru a ten hour shift, no problemo!
Ah well, live and learn eh?

2 out of 5 stars don't try on cruise.......2007-06-25

we got 2 sets of these at ubermart and tried them out first. they didn't make it past 2 miles in an area by a lake with little residential.

3 out of 5 stars it is good at this price........2007-06-02

i bought this product for short distance communication. it is said it could work up to 10 miles, however, in my area it can reach out less than 1 mile. partially, it may be due to my area is hilly.

5 out of 5 stars two-ways for a trip.......2007-05-13

The radios are wonderful. They work just as described. We use them from vehicle to vehicle on our way and person to person while in place. They're great.

1 out of 5 stars Extremely poor battery life .......2007-04-29

When they work, they work ok. The problem is, they don't work for very long. These radios will go dead on a freshly charged set of 900ma NiMH batteries in 5-10 minutes, and that is with less than a minute of talk time. The funny thing is, these (brand spankin' new) batteries are still going strong at +1.25 volts each under load even after the radio complains that they are dead. Note that a AAA NiMH battery is rated at 1.2 volts and when it reads 1.25 volts under load it is definitely charged!

Uniden has been advertising factory refurb 1038's on their web site for a couple months now and I'll bet they have quite a stockpile of them. Based on the set I received, it would appear that they didn't do much to fix the design flaws. Battery life seems to be a common complaint across their entire FRS radio lineup and these are exceptionally bad.

After calling customer service, Uniden did promise to replace my radios several weeks ago but never followed through--not a happy camper here.

I own a couple of Uniden scanners and they are fantastic, it's too bad this company cannot manufacture a decent set of FRS/GMRS radios.


3 out of 5 stars Invest in rechargeable batteries.......2007-04-24

They work OK- you won't get anywhere near 10 miles in range though. They drain batteries quick, so have a couple sets of charged up rechargeable batteries handy.

1 out of 5 stars No battery charger!.......2007-03-27

I don't want to rate this product, since I haven't used it. I had to, though... I just wanted to share with everybody that this product still does not come with a charger. I received them, left them unopened upon not seeing a charger, called customer service (they didn't do anything about the posting), and sent them back. A waste of time and effort and extra hassle and waiting to get the money back. Do not get mislead by pictures or descriptions.

2 out of 5 stars not pleased.......2007-02-06

The battery packs in these walkie talkies last for about an hour only- I am very disappointed in the quality. We need them for emergencies throughout the day- this is a farmed animal sanctuary- non-profit and we cannot afford to purchase new batteries after paying for these already. I am willing to change my review if we get new batteries. They came on time- they are good quality- other than the batteries

2 out of 5 stars Poor range for me........2007-01-25

Does not compare with Motorola. The range was poor. Interestingly, when I pressed the call button, that was transmitted but the recipient couldn't pick up my voice and vice versa. If they work for you, then you have a good deal. But not for me.
