Rating: Summary: It saved a lot of time at DisneyWorld!! Review: It worked great at Disney World. Only 2 other people on our line. We were even in 2 separate cars driving fro Orlando to West Palm Beach in stormy weather, and we had clear and complete contact for the whole trip!! This was really great for people who just need something simple to use. We were in Florida for 10 days and did not have to change the batteries once! A godsend!
Rating: Summary: The skinny. Review: It's my first time buying a pair of these Family Radios, and I'm very happy with the Uniden FRS420. With 14 channels, 38 subcodes, 5 different call rings, and a vibrating alert. It can't be beat for the price.
Rating: Summary: Not so great Review: Not good for car to car talk on highway at highway speeds. Distortion due to the speed of the vehicles. Good for hiking and backpacking. They work better the further away from eletrical interference you get. Rating of 2 miles is for little inteference. In a shopping center there is A LOT of interference!
Rating: Summary: Great radios at a great price Review: These Uniden FRS radios are great. My friend spent about three times as much for a pair of Motorola radios, and they lack some of the features included on the Unidens. I really like the different call alert tones and the ability to use a vibrating alert. The carabiner clips are nice for attaching the radios to you belt loops or the straps on a backpack. Overall, I think these are great radios for the price. You can spend a lot more, but you're not going to get any more features or better performance.
Rating: Summary: Avoid this product... Review: This product was substandard. In tests the radios were unable to transmit voices, they transmitted so much static you could not hear the other person from 200 ft away. Tried new batteries and still received too much static to hear the other person. Static did not occur on every transmission but did occur in 80% of the trials. We purchased a set of Motorola Talkabouts and have been pleased with their performance.
