Customer Review: Great radios
Summary: 4 Stars
Pretty amazing, has features that used to only be found in ham radios.
Con: They are a little large, I don't know why the antenna is so long on these radios when it's shorter on others, in this band (GMRS/FRS 460 MHz) all antennas on all radios should be the same length.
Pro: They come with a couple of nice features that everyone should look for, and that's CTCSS (tone) and DCS (code). Basically CTCSS transmits a sub-audible tone and if the other radio is set to the same tone it will break the squelch (turn on the receiver) when it receives the tone, which is super nice so you don't hear other peoples conversations. DCS transmits a series of DTMF tones which essentially does the same thing. Unfortunately you can't use both modes at the same time, but I'm sure this is adequate.
Con: No adjustable output power. It seems that the power is preset for GMRS(hi) and FRS(lo).
Pro: Call button, this transmits a signal kind of like a doorbell, so you don't have to keep saying 'hey buddy, you there?'
Con: No adjustable squelch, so if there's a lot of noise it will keep breaking in, but CTCSS/DCS can avoid this. Maybe this is how all radios are now?
Pro: Comes with batteries and charger! Both radios can be charged at the same time with included battery packs that have extra terminals which go through the back of the radio and charge in the cradle. Regular NiMH batteries can also be charged in the radios by removing the wall wart from the charger cradle and plugging it directly into the radio, however with this method only one radio at a time can be charged.
Con: The battery pack is just that, it's not 4 seperate NiMH batteries but rather 4 NiMH batteries in a pack that fits in the 4 AAA battery slot. Maybe they could be pulled apart?
Overall a good value.
