Digital camera reviews of Unwired Technology UFR8502 Yellow 2-Way Water Resistant Radios (Pair)
Digital camera Review: Fun, well-made product
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased the Unwired Water Resistant 2 Way Radios for use on a camping trip....our kids have had a great time with them. They are sturdy and brightly colored; the 2-mile range is stretching it a bit, but the info provided with the radios even states that the 2 mile range is over an open field. Of course, buildings, trees etc. will diminsh the range. We had good reception as far as 3 city blocks. I've tested other, more ... brands that also report the 2 mile range and have had the same reception. Unless you are willing to pay ... for more sophisticated radios, these are nice walkie talkies and a good value. Battery usage is very conservative, too (25 hrs.). Water resistance is important, esp. with kids, and the radios weren't affected after being used at the beach.

What is Family Radio Service? In 1996, the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) set aside one part of the FM radio frequency spectrum foruse by small groups at short range. Use of this UHF range--from 462.5625 to467.7125 MHz--is free and doesn't require an FCC license.
In addition to the basic 14 channels of FRS, the Unwired Technology UFR8502radio also feature 38 CTCSS subcodes--also referred to as privacy codes.CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) enables the radio's squelch,which filters out nuisance signals, to operate at a specific subaudibletone. To use the subcodes, you and others who you will be communicatingwith will needs to set your radios to the same subcode. Using CTCSS codesis great if you are in a busy area and want to avoid most interference.Note, though, that subcodes will not scramble your conversation orcompletely protect you from eavesdroppers (for instance if others arecommunicating on the same frequency and subcode combination).
Save your favorite frequencies with the UFR8502's five memory settings. Youcan also use the voice-activation feature to operate these radioshands-free. The channel-scan feature allows you to search availablefrequencies for a clear channel and monitor activity from othertransmitting radios.
The Unwired Technology UFR8502 radio comes with an LCD screen. It runs forup to 26 hours on four AAA batteries. Use this radio with the optionalsingle-well charger for continuous and convenient charging. The radio alsohas jacks for an optional microphone, earphone, or headset.
