Reviews of the Uniden Eco Trek FRS 440 (Pair)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Strong signal range; better-than-average battery life; hands-free set included; 38 subchannels; good price.
The Bad: Subpar weather capabilities; inaccurate temperature readings.
The Bottom Line: Though the affordable FRS 440 looks a little toylike, it provides the power and range to compete with most radios in its class.
