Customer Review: Great short-range walkie-talkies
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the third and fourth pair of Uniden walkie-talkies I've purchased. I take care of my 91-year-old mother and the Unidens have provided critical communication on several occasions, particularly when I've been working outside or walking our dogs. We have used this type of Uniden walkie-talkie for more than 6 years.
First and foremost, they are small and light and the only walkie-talkies Mom can hold and operate (she is a small lady with tiny hands.) We started with the 3-mile range, then the 5-mile, and now the 12-mile as Uniden changed design. Each model has been satisfactory within the neighborhood, but because of the lack of line-of-sight areas I haven't been able to test Uniden's 12-mile claim under ideal conditions. However, expect the range to be significantly less than claimed if there is anything between the units, particularly solid things like terrain and buildings.
Battery life is important and the 12-mile units use somewhat more power than the shorter range models did. However, after much trial and error, I have found that RayOVac NiMH Hybrid and 4.0 rechargeable batteries will provide more than 24 hours of operation, including a modest amount of transmitting (which uses more battery power.) NO other batteries, even DieHard and Energizer NiMH rechargeables, operate the units for 24 or more hours. I think I read somewhere in the enclosed literature that Uniden rates the running time as 22 hours on regular alkaline batteries. Using recharageable AAA batteries saves a LOT of money (we use these 24/7/365) and once-a-day battery change is very convenient.
CONS: Only real problem is that the belt clip is designed with two small plastic tabs that can break off if the unit gets caught on something. I also had one unit that had an intermittent squelch problem but all the other units we've had have operated perfectly.
Fortunately we live in a rural area and have found several channels that are as good as private communication frequencies. Except for when we're using them, they remain totally silent. Audio quality is excellent and the range of volume control is such that at maximum volume I can just hear enough to know when Mom is trying to call me even when using a power lawn mower or other gas-powered yard care equipment (even when wearing ear plugs.)
Once again, Amazon's price was unbeatable because they qualified for SuperSaver Shipping .. altho I had to buy 2 pairs to meet the requirments. I'm very happy to have what amounts to a spare pair for only a few dollars more than a single pair plus paid shipping. Even without the shipping, the price is very competitive and better than I was able to find on eBay and other sites.
Thanks Amazon.com!

Call Tone and Roger Beep
A call tone and roger beep helps you know when transmissions to and from someone are beginning or ending. The GMR1235-2 features both, and you can turn the roger beep off if you'd prefer.
Easily Reduce Interference
The GMR1235-2 is equipped with an automatic squelch system, which shuts off weak transmissions and unwanted noise caused by terrain conditions or reaching your your range limit.
AAA Battery Power With Automatic Power Save
GMR1235-2 radios are powered by three AAA batteries, and features a unique circuit designed to dramatically extend battery life. If there are neither transmissions nor incoming calls for 2 seconds, the radio switches to Power Save mode. The radio is still able to receive transmissions in this mode.
In addition, the radio features a battery strength meter, to show you when it's time to charge.
These radios feature a range of up to 12 miles--you'll get the best range in areas without obstructions.
Wide 12-Mile Range
Use the radios when camping, hiking, hunting, or even for keeping in contact with another person in town. The GMR1235-2 radios offer plenty of options with a range of up to 12 miles. (As with all GMRS radios, you'll get more range in open terrain than in areas with many high buildings.)
Finding Channels
The GMR1235-2 radio boasts a channel scan feature that lets you easily scan all 22 channels (15 GMRS, 7 FRS). When an active channel is detected, the unit pauses on that channel until the channel is clear. After a two-second delay, the radio will continute scanning. Pressing the PTT (aka Push to Transmit) button while the scan is paused on a channel will allow you to transmit on that channel.
Note: License Required
Note that the GMR1235-2 radios operate on the General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) frequencies, which require a Federal Communications Commission License to operate. For licensing information and application forms call (800) 418-3676 or (888) 225- 5322.
