And the channel monitor function listens for weak signals on a given channel with the press of a key.
These two-way radios offer additional privacy and safety features. If you're having a conversation with sensitive matter, these radios offer a voice scramble feature that prevents outside monitoring. And for added safety, the radios receive emergency and weather broadcasts from the NOAA National Weather Service. When in Emergency/Weather mode, the radios monitor the selected emergency/weather channel for alerts, even when you're not actively communicating.
Additional features include a backlit LCD display that is easy to read under any lighting conditions, a keypad lock that prevents your settings from being accidentally changed, and a choice of five different call tones that offer distinctive ring options to easily identify who's calling. The radios are also equipped with a battery strength meter that monitors the status of the batteries so you can always stay in touch, a key beep audio confirmation of each button you press, and a "roger beep" tone to confirm to other users that you're done speaking. The built-in headset jack is for the optional headset mic, which enables hands-free operation. The radios are equipped with dual-location charging units that make it easy to keep your radios charged and ready to go, and they can also be powered by four AAA alkaline batteries (not included). This two-pack unit comes with the manufacturer's one-year limited warranty.
What's in the Box
Two GMR1448-2CK two-way radios and two charging units.
Great Buy
Everything works fine. These things feature lots! The only thing I would have liked with the package were some headsets. O wells.
O Be warned. Around suburbs you only get about 2-3 miles if even due houses/commercial buildings/etc. Outdoors though it's great.
Walkie talkie
These are ok, kind of difficult to figure out all the buttons and options. Easy to hit the wrong button, sound ok but muffled.
Good radios for the price
I purchased these radios to use on a cruise and they worked well all over the ship.
I can't say much about the range since the ship is only about a 1,000 feet. But the signal went thru alot of walls throughout the ship.
The battery life could have been better, but they seemed to last about a day so we just recharged them each night.
One thing to note, they mention weather updates on this radio and that is false. There is no weather service option on this radio. Some of the ones just a bit more expensive do have that option.
The volume control with 2 buttons isn't as nice as the turn dial control on some of the nicer models.
But for the price, this is a good radio.
One final note. A previous comment mentioned that he wouldn't use this until he could pay for the license. There are many channels which are free (lower power) so you don't have to pay for the license. And additionally, in my case, we were out in international waters, so no laws applied.
