Uniden GMRS540 22-Channel 2-Mile GMRS/FRS 2-Way Radio
Manufacturer: Uniden ProductGroup: CE Binding: Electronics Product Features:
ASIN: B00006687Y ![]() |
Product Description
Uniden is creating a World Without Wires. Which means it's building products that give its customers more freedom to enjoy life, solve problems and always stay connected with others. From cordless phones to two-way radios to radar detectors, Uniden makes electronic wonders an everyday occurrence. As one of the world's largest manufacturers of cordless phones and consumer communications devices, chances are there's a Uniden product that's already making things more convenient in and around your home.PRODUCT FEATURES:General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS);22 Channels (8 GMRS/14 FRS);38 CTCSS Tone Codes;Backlit LCD Display;Battery Strength Meter.Amazon.com Product Description
Stay connected with other radio owners while hiking on the trail, riding the ski lift, or exploring other locations within a 2-mile window with the GMRS540 two-way radio. Boasting a smaller range than many of Uniden's other two-way radios, the GMRS540 is particularly ideal for casual communications, such as keeping in touch with pals at the ballpark, rather than strenuous activities that might require a lifesaving response.The radio features 22 channels (8 GMRS and 14 FRS) and 38 CTCSS privacy codes, along with a voice-activated transmitter that enables hands-free communication when teamed with an optional headset and mic (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 frequency. 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.
The GMRS540 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.
The radio also includes such features as 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 the radio is in your pocket), a headset jack, your choice of five different call tones, and an auto squelch function that shuts off weak transmissions and unwanted noise when you've reached your range limit. And no worries about running out of power too quickly, as the radio runs for around 55 hours on three AA batteries, and is also recharge-capable when teamed with an optional NiMH battery pack and charging cradle (sold separately). The entire bundle, which includes a belt clip for efficient transport, is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
What's in the Box
Single GMRS540 two-way radio, belt clip, user's manual.
