Uniden GMR885-2CK (14 Channels) Two Way Radio

Pros: Exceptional value, excellent quality.

Cons: Can't purchase the headset from Uniden as yet.

Review: The Uniden GMR 885-2CK is the first FRS/GMRS radio I have ever purchased. My decision was made easy by the various positive product reviews I had found on the web. Everything I read was true, the radio is a pleasure to operate and works better than I ...

Pros: Battery life, audio quality, comfort of use.

Cons: Size (a bit large), belt clip (doesn't inspire confidence, flimsy)

The Bottom Line: Lots of radios out there. If you don't mind one that's a little large you'll be happy with this one. Too early to give it an "excellent" rating.

Review: I've had various Audiovox, Cobra, and Motorola FRS/GMRS radios, all of the 1/2 watt variety and each having strengths and weaknesses. My wife and I use them quite often around our farm and at the mall, park, etc. When I decided to upgrade to a higher ...

Pros: Power. NOAA alerts, roger beep, VOX w/headset.

Review: I've spent the last week testing out 2way radios, first the Cobra smaller versions only sold at bestbuy, model 385 I think, but they ended up being 1 watt (nothing online or on package to tell me so I had to buy them to find out) and they went back. For ...

Pros: good range, option of turning key tones off (for hunting)water....

Cons: belt clip is kinda flimsy, the boost key..... vox only works.....

Review: just bought 2 of these radios with charger. im pretty pleased with them. i got around 4 miles going through thick brush, trees and moderate elevation changes (hills).hehe. i like the water resistance, option of turning the key tones off (which i can use ...

Pros: Well made case. Nice backlight. Battery life 10 hours on NiMH.

Cons: Distance Performance No scan on Weather stations No skipping of channels while scanning.

Review: Distance test was very disappointing. I am returning the units, even after getting the batteries straightened out. On our back road, I reset the trip meter in a truck. Signal cut out at 0.9 mile. Even stepping out of the truck, and using Power Boost ...
