Amazon.com Product Description

Save your voice and your pocketbook on your next hiking trip or mall outing with Uniden FRS-300 Family Radio Service radios. With FRS two-way radios, you can give each family member a radio and not have to worry about coverage or expensive roaming charges. Reach anyone instantly with the touch of a button or make announcements to everyone in your group at the same time.

Cell phones are great, but they don't always work in remote areas or enclosed spaces like malls or department stores. FRS radios are designed for situations like hiking or skiing where a cell phone would be inconvenient and expensive. With an FRS radio, just push the call button and your voice is heard instantly on a compatible radio up to two miles away.

What is Family Radio Service? In 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) set aside one part of the FM radio frequency spectrum for use by small groups at short ranges. Use of this UHF range--from 462.5625 to 467.7125 MHz--is free and doesn't require an FCC license.

Uniden's Eco radios come with features that make using FRS simple and enjoyable. The Uniden Eco radios features an automatic squelch that prevents the radio from activating until a voice signal is received. With squelch, you won't hear random popping and hissing from other electronic devices or atmospheric signals.

The channel-scan feature allows you to search available frequencies for a clear channel and monitor activity from other transmitting radios. The keypad lock prevent accidental pressing of buttons, and the call key lets you signal anyone in your party with a distinctive tone.

The Eco radio comes with a backlit LCD screen that can be clearly viewed even in dim light. It runs for up to 50 hours on three AAA batteries. Uniden has designed these radios with a stylish yellow and blue body and compact size. Affordable, powerful, and simple, the Uniden Eco radio is a perfect introduction to the convenience of FRS communication.

Great buy for the price.......2001-03-27

These radios are pretty robust, solid, and do their job well. They even work with headsets for Talkabout 250s (but don't try to use the VOX feature). An excellent value for the price.

why this item is not good.......2001-03-17

This item only goes two miles.They mite say they are good for skiing and hiking but the trees reduce the miles. thank you for reading this!

do not bye them

Verry good value for the price.......2001-02-05

I purchased these radios a month ago. The range of these radios is outstanding. The clarity is superb. The call feature is useful and so is the scan button. There are two buttons on the side this can be confusing. The top button is used to talk and the bottom is used to turn the squelch off. (So you can monitor very weak signals) At first it was hard to get used to, but after a while it becomes second nature. Extremely great value for the price.

Great For Hiking in groups.......2003-08-14

I bought this product because my family and I go hiking a lot, we have an age range of 55 to 5 on our trips with varying degrees of speed and endurance, these walkie talkies have let us enjoy walking together without everyone having to be in the same group, and everyone can enjoy the outdoors at their own pace without the worry of where we are and when we will meet up again. It is also nice to know how hot or cool it is as some of our trips are out in the desert, and the access to the weather channels has proven very helpful in our decions on how long the day trips should be and what trail we should decide on. I recommend these walkie talkies to anyone who likes to hike in groups.
The design of the radios as well as the headsets are extremely helpful once you get the hang of them of course, as they enable your hands to be free, and unlike some of the other headsets that are on the market where the mike is always on, there is a button that can be pressed to to key the mike. My ten year old and 5 year old are able to use them with no problems. We love them and are wondering what took us so long to get them.

This radio looks good... but that's as far as it goes........2002-01-31

The radio looks good and has nice features, but there is a problem that cannot be overcome.

You have to press the PTT button for at least 2 seconds before talking. Why? The PTT button is a dual-function button. Obviously it is a PTT, but it is also a Monitor button. This makes it necessary to hold it down for at least 2 seconds before talking. Getting people to realize this and have them remember to do this is next to impossible.

This made the radio very frustrating to use. I eventually sent them back for a refund.

get this if you're looking for a good two-way!!!.......2002-01-07

I bought this radio because of the added features of a weather radio and a FM radio.
It has great range and the weather radio is really nice!
The FM radio wasn't the clearest...but what do you expect from a 40 buck radio?
The headset fit me perfect and works great!!
This is a must have!!

a great time saver at the ski hill.......2001-12-31

I got these pair for my dad and little brother to use at a ski hill in NH. They are WONDERFUL! What a time saver for a group skiing at a resort- They allow you to ski at your own pace, without worrying about how you can meet up with your group. Plus, my little brother, who is 7 years old, could operate it easily. And you can't beat the price! What a fun product.

Walkie Talkie.......2001-12-22

The radio itself is great. Its got good range and pretty good clarity considering that it is a glorified walkie talkie. However, the headset is truly a marvel of oversight. The microphone gets about 3/4 of the way around your cheek. As it is not situated in front of your mouth or at least close to it, you have to shout to be heard or twist your face. I tinkered with it and managed to extend length of the micropphone a bit, but for (the money) you'd expect to get an easy to use product. Other than this annoying oversight, these radios perform well, and are well worth the price.

Sturdy, works great, easy for kids to use........2002-06-01

We got these for the kids at Christmas, and have had no problems at all. They are easy for the kids to use, and seem to be built much more solidly than many low cost products. The display is easy to read, and controls very easy to operate. We have not changed the batteries since Christmas (5 months now), although they have not been used for long periods of continuous operation. I have no idea how many total hours they have been used. My wife and I use them to stay in contact with the kids at home when we walk in the neighborhood, and find them to be quite clear at about 1/2 mile. We live in a rural area with very little other interference, but found that at Grandma's house in town that it was sometimes hard to find a channel that someone else was not using. Overall this is a very good value, and works well.

Great product for its price !.......2002-02-17

These radio's are good for short distance communication. Don't expect them to work all the 2-miles as advertised. Most radio's won't work in that range if you & the receiver are both not in open with no interfernce around.
The radio's look very cool. And they work on 3 AA batteries. You can buy 4 Nimh rechargable ones for just 10 bucks at any target store or here.
The best part about these is that they don't have any antenna hanging out (to be broken with use) and they could be conviently hung with the clip they already have. They don't come with all kinds of fancy features, just the necessary ones.
Even if the quality is not the best, they have the best looks & comfort of use compared to other FRS's around.
And finally they are much cheaper compared to others, you can get one between 10 to 15 dollars at circuitcity or here.

Loved It.......2001-10-31

This is a really good way to get into the walkie-talkie world. The little Uniden FRS400 isn't the most elaborate item of its ilk, but it offers the basics plus some features the "big guys" don't always have. (It has a ringer, for instance, but only one ring tone.)

Although the two-mile range may be a tad exaggerated, the 400 is defintely a family-friendly instrument. With its rather small size, a lot of the must-have features are tucked away, such as installing a thumbable-wheel on-off/squelch knob on the upper-left side, and PTT (push-to-talk) button just underneath.

The lower-cost "Eco"-model Unidens, like mine, have their antennae integrated into an oval-shaped carry handle that is not only easy to deal with, but is well integrated into the overall design esthetic. You'll be surprised at how quickly you and your kids can get used to the absence of the standard "rubber duckie" antenna, which can malfunction if frequently grabbed. No trouble here, as the Uniden doesn't need the kind of protruberances the competition uses.

This gizmo is definitely a cool-looking "Star Trek" sort of device, and kids will have little or no trouble getting used to its many intuitive controls. (Yes, there are a couple of slewing buttons but the simplicity of the Uniden 400 means there aren't too many.)

My set, the 400G, has two features that really set it apart from the pack. One: it glows in the dark. Two: the oval, molded carry-handle antenna can be slightly parted and used as a belt clip! Just try to lose THAT.

Small complaint dept: There is no auto-slewing device that can routinely scan all channels like a police scanner; most FRS's have them. The unit uses Alkaline batteries, but it needs THREE of them. Have no idea why. Increasingly, FRS units are like point-and-shoot cameras; you can spend a little or a lot but need to mind the basics. In my opinion the FRS400 is great value and fun to use.

A nice way to keep in touch when out for hiking or camping.......2001-10-25

It works well to keep in touch with your buddies on hiking trips. Voice quality is not as great as the expensive ones but is worth the price.

Great.......2001-10-25

I think this product is great. It has fun features. The only thing wrong is therange needs to be longer than 2 miles. That's alot but my cousin lives a little over 2 miles away so the reception isn't so great. It is very durable. It's not just a hardened plastic but a little bit more. I LOVED this product and if you buy it I hope you would love it too.

Customer Reviews:

Not so great.......2002-12-28

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!

Great radios at a great price.......2002-11-08

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.

A nice pair of radios (I bought 2).......2002-07-11

I mainly use FRS radios with a Law Enfocement Group in Hawaii, and it works great! I have been using these radios for about 3 months now, and they work perfectly with other brands of radios (a Motorola Talkabout w/ headset, and a pair of Audiovox with only 14 channels). The only complaint I have with this radios is that the call and menu button are using the same button. If I want to change channels, I have to press the menu button down for a long time, and if I forgot about that, then I send out a call message. Also, the vibrating feature isn't great, even with strong batteries.

It saved a lot of time at DisneyWorld!!.......2002-01-27

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!

Not bad for hunting.......2001-12-17

I purchased these radios for the sole purpose of using in the woods on hunting trips. I have to say I was impressed with them right away. Crystal clear with no squelch heard. I am not sure of the distance but I can say they work through thick woods and rolling hills in NE Georgia. The only complaint I have with them is the location of the call button. I seemed to hit that everytime I clipped it to my beltloop. The vibrate mode is well felt as well as you can hear the vibration going on as long as there are strong batteries installed.

Tech Talk

Scanning method: Frames of video are made up of many lines of video that are scanned onto a television screen so closely they appear to be a solid picture. The scanning method can be either interlaced or progressive. Interlaced scanning (also used in today's analog TV), indicated by an "i" in the video format, fills in the odd number lines (1,3,5,7...) and then fills in the even number lines (2,4,6,8...) until the frame is complete. Progressive scanning, indicated by a "p," fills in each line consecutively until the frame is complete, like a computer display.
Component video: Unlike a single video input, component video maintains the video signal as three separate signals through three jacks. This connection provides optimum quality. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the Y, Pb, and Pr connections.

Great Price. Good Picture. Minor problems.......2006-02-03

This T.V. i would say is more like 4.5/5 stars as it has a great price tag, has a good picture, and has a nice size. When hooking up DVD player in component it is gorgeous, i have yet to see better. Also the satellite picture is quite good as well. A couple of minor problems i have had is that there is a faint blue streak when the DVD player has a full black screen. I am not sure what causes this, but it seems to make me more mad everytime i see it. I have not yet tested any of the cables or the DVD player, so it could be that. All in all for the price it's definitely worth it.

New Akai 55" works great.......2004-12-12

Overall great value for the money. Very good picture. No issues, everyone in the house loves it. Set up with Dish Network and everything is flawless.

Dreadful picture.......2004-08-13

We were looking for a ralatively low cost big screen for our weekend house and found this at Costco. They did not have their demo hooked up but assured me it was great.

This TV proves the maxim "you get what you pay for". It has, without question, the worst TV picture I have ever seen [we have Direct TV]. Figures actually blur and wash out as they move across the screen.

It also has limited connections - there is no way to run it through external speakers unless you run it through a receiver or pre-amp first.

Fortunately you can return anything to Costco but unfortunately for me Costco is 180 miles from our weekend retreat. And this is a bear to move, particularly un packed!

What is with the convergence?.......2004-07-04

I picked one of these units up from a local retailer and wow was I underwealmed. After 10-15mins (less if you are walking any closer than 3 meters from it) The convergence goes totally out of wack. The manual calls for the user to turn the unit off for 1/2 hr and then run the perfect picture feature. That would be cool if it actually worked. Looking at the screen reminds me of watching an old 3D movie. Yes for you videophiles out there I tried tuning the convergence manually. What will really disturb you though is that when I called Akai to get a service rep out all I got was a machine. Wouldn't you know it after three calls no one returned my messeges. Great product support! In fairness this unit may have just been a lemon. Even Sony has lemons. However the price was right and the one on display at the store got my heart pounding. I am getting it replaced by the retailer because they have a no hassle policy. I will repost with the results on PT5598HD # 2. Keep in mind though unless you are buying from an awesome retailer that is local to your area. Based on AKAI's complette lack of customer support I can't recomend this or any other AKAI product for that matter! BUYER BEWARE!
