Reviews of the Uniden Eco Trek FRS 420

CNET Review
The Good: Affordable price; strong signal range; better-than-average battery life; 38 subchannels.
The Bad: All-plastic casing; not as rugged or durable as the 440.
The Bottom Line: A solid, entry-level radio that provides reliable performance at a price that won't break the bank.
