With the Uniden 22-Channel 10-Mile 2-Way Radio you can stay connected with your buddies while on the trail, at the baseball game, or anywhere else within a 10-mile range. This lightweight, palm-sized radio is also ideal as a neighborhood watch tool and kid-sitting aid. Each state-of-the-art radio features 22 channels (15 GMRS, 7 FRS) that are easy to scan and monitor. The channel scan/monitor allows you to listen for weak signals on the current channel with the press of a button. Plus, with the large number of channels, you have several communication options that ensure you can almost always talk with friends or family via an exclusive, uninterrupted signal. The channels are easy to find, thanks to the channel scan feature, which browses for active channels while you watch the display. To transmit on a GMRS or FRS channel, a user merely presses the PTT button while the scan is paused.
Additional features include a battery strength meter that monitors the status of the batteries so you can always stay in touch. The key lock prevents your settings from being accidentally changed, and the key beep gives an audio confirmation as you press each button. The radios also uses an automatic "roger beep" tone to confirm to other users that you're done speaking, and the call tone lets you alert listeners that you have something to say. Each radio is powered by three AAA batteries. This two-pack unit comes with the manufacturer's one-year limited warranty.

Beware!.......2007-09-06
I purchased these radios to use while fishing the banks with a friend. They worked fine the first 4 or 5 times I used them but then one started beeping every 3 seconds and would not transmit, even with new batteries. I contacted Uniden and they advised me that the unit was defective and it would have to be returned for repair. It would have cost me more to have it shipped and repaired than I paid for them. I was a month out of warranty so that was that. I will not buy Uniden anymore. You get what you pay for......spend a litle extra and get more quality.
Batteries Should last longer than a few days..........2007-05-13
I like this product a lot, it's small, the clarity is great, however, the batteries have been replaced twice and I've only had them for 1 month.

They do the job.......2007-08-15
I got the $25 and free shipping offer, for this price they have no match...
well, they do work.......2007-08-05
Bought this pair to go with another set of earlier models we have.
What a waste of time and money. Uniden should be ashamed of themselves!
Oh, they work just fine, but the rechargable battery life is ABISMAL!(sp?)
After less than four hours of hanging on my belt, with all of ten minutes of transmit time, the "low battery" warning beep goes off, and the battery gauge shows "all gone"!.
The older set we use will last thru a ten hour shift, no problemo!
Ah well, live and learn eh?
don't try on cruise.......2007-06-25
we got 2 sets of these at ubermart and tried them out first. they didn't make it past 2 miles in an area by a lake with little residential.
it is good at this price........2007-06-02
i bought this product for short distance communication. it is said it could work up to 10 miles, however, in my area it can reach out less than 1 mile. partially, it may be due to my area is hilly.
two-ways for a trip.......2007-05-13
The radios are wonderful. They work just as described. We use them from vehicle to vehicle on our way and person to person while in place. They're great.

very dissatisfied.......2007-11-13
After buying several radios to keep the shop connected we found that the battery life lasted less than a few transmissions. I contacted the company, Uniden, and was told by custy service to write a letter and fax it to there service dept. I was told that the batteries must be bad and should be warrenteed. I faxed the letter with proof of purchase and serial numbers and didn't receive any acknowledgement. So I did it again. I have waited and tried for six months. Although I have had confidence in Uniden (only because my very first cordless home phone was Uniden)in the past I will never buy their products again and advice you not to.
the trouble with these radios.......2007-11-13
We bought the gmr1048 hoping to use them at our cottage where Verizon cell coverage is hit or miss. Seemed like the the ideal solution fr keeping in touch around town and the lake. Cant say if they do work the 10 mile range they tout. The problem with these radios is battery life!! Or lack thereof. I don't know ours must be defective. After full charge you start getting half battery icon after a few transmissions. One actually dies after just a few uses with the dead battery shutoff. Really frustrating. I should have returned them but we've had them a while so my fault. Fool me once... Next time RESEARCH! I usually do but this time I thought I'd just wing it and I got burned. I have never owned 2 way radios before, I wonder if they are all as unreliable as these.
I thought I'd just buy new batteries and see if it improves the reliability. Guess what? 2 new batteries costs more than a new set of radios which includes 2 new batteries and a charger! I have not found decent aftermarket batteries either. I am UNIMPRESSED. Bad business model. If Uniden thinks they can fleece the consumer this is one person not biting, not only am I NOT buying their batteries but I am not buying any more Uniden products and I will be a lot more diligent and skeptical next time before buying. READ REVIEWS your experience will most likely parallel others' experiences on stuff like this. I will probably pitch these and learn a lesson from it.
The radios are a moot point, we found out how to get our cell phones onto another cell network at the cottage and now our cells work GREAT.
Nice features but ..........2007-01-09
Radios have nice features, but i have tried them in the city and during travel and they don't reach 1 mile, so it is far away from the 10 miles they said it reach.
Good Features, but 10 miles, dream on. .......2006-05-21
1) Clear signal.
2) SCRM mode - real privacy mode, not a filter like other radios.
3) NOAA alert - really works. Checks NOAA every 7 seconds.
4) Volume controls right under fingers.
5) Better charger options (direct or base) than other radios.
6) Orange Color - easy to find in backpack.
7) Good price.
Complaints - 10 miles, dream on. 2-3 actual, but all radios
claim 10 miles, delivering 2-3.
Disappointing.......2006-04-21
Disappointing
These walkie-talkies disappointed in these two areas:
1. Living in an area that only has buildings 2-floors in height, I could not get
these Walkie-talkies to transmit any further then only ONE MILE.
I truly didn't expect to get the manufacturers claim of a 10-mile range,
but I expected at least 7 miles, or 5 miles... not ONE MILE.
2. The sound quality on these units is rather poor. The person on the other end sounds muffled.
A serious 2-way radio? Not this unit.
Buy it as a toy instead.

Extremely poor battery life .......2007-04-29
When they work, they work ok. The problem is, they don't work for very long. These radios will go dead on a freshly charged set of 900ma NiMH batteries in 5-10 minutes, and that is with less than a minute of talk time. The funny thing is, these (brand spankin' new) batteries are still going strong at +1.25 volts each under load even after the radio complains that they are dead. Note that a AAA NiMH battery is rated at 1.2 volts and when it reads 1.25 volts under load it is definitely charged!
Uniden has been advertising factory refurb 1038's on their web site for a couple months now and I'll bet they have quite a stockpile of them. Based on the set I received, it would appear that they didn't do much to fix the design flaws. Battery life seems to be a common complaint across their entire FRS radio lineup and these are exceptionally bad.
After calling customer service, Uniden did promise to replace my radios several weeks ago but never followed through--not a happy camper here.
I own a couple of Uniden scanners and they are fantastic, it's too bad this company cannot manufacture a decent set of FRS/GMRS radios.
Invest in rechargeable batteries.......2007-04-24
They work OK- you won't get anywhere near 10 miles in range though. They drain batteries quick, so have a couple sets of charged up rechargeable batteries handy.
No battery charger!.......2007-03-27
I don't want to rate this product, since I haven't used it. I had to, though... I just wanted to share with everybody that this product still does not come with a charger. I received them, left them unopened upon not seeing a charger, called customer service (they didn't do anything about the posting), and sent them back. A waste of time and effort and extra hassle and waiting to get the money back. Do not get mislead by pictures or descriptions.
not pleased.......2007-02-06
The battery packs in these walkie talkies last for about an hour only- I am very disappointed in the quality. We need them for emergencies throughout the day- this is a farmed animal sanctuary- non-profit and we cannot afford to purchase new batteries after paying for these already. I am willing to change my review if we get new batteries. They came on time- they are good quality- other than the batteries
Poor range for me........2007-01-25
Does not compare with Motorola. The range was poor. Interestingly, when I pressed the call button, that was transmitted but the recipient couldn't pick up my voice and vice versa. If they work for you, then you have a good deal. But not for me.
