Uniden GMR1636-2C Review by Anglosat
I am going to give a qualified review - I took my Ham radio exam 20 years ago. I bought the 3689's on my visit to Florida - at $64 it blows the local Best Buy / Walmart offerings out of the water. They said waterproof - I used them at Blizzard Beach Water Park - plunged into water on the biggest slide in the world, did all the rides, swam for an hour with them under water, let my 5 year old throw it in the pool and take a shower with it! The mike on on of them stopped working, but after 30 mins (give it a shake) - good as new. We all know they won't do 36 miles, that just tells you they are the max allowed power of about 5 watts, so you can get about 3 miles or so. If you are in an open area of course more. They are really well made and nice to hold and the features are good. You have group call so you can call one or all units, you can also make all units switch channel. The lock button is good and the PTT button is high power at the top and full 5 watts at the bottom - a good idea to save battery power. I bought a pair of yellow 3689's and was so pleased bought a pair of green 3699's. What is the difference? About $7 and the 3699's have vibrate call, but to be honest is only used on a group call where it vibrates once a minute for 3 minutes if called. I am British but live in Malta (in Europe) and the best we can get in Europe is 0.5 Watt Walkie Talkies. These come with a 110v power supply but are just a standard 9 volts 350MW power supply bought anywhere for a few Euros / Quid. The brand of Uniden - I have CB's that are 25 years old the same brand and going strong. The only other Walkie Talkies I have going stong are a pair of Cobra's bought in the 90's - my first illegal CB bought in '79 was a Cobra and also working well. American stuff is built well and I did originally see what Cobra had to offer. The battery lasted well - you can buy spares on Amazon / eBay and get 4 for $20. You can 'fashion' the charger to charge the batteries on their own. I really researched this and these are the ones to go for and Amazon is the cheapest. In Sept 2011 the RRP is $89 and the only local store was Best Buy and they are special order aqnf $89 plus tax for the 3689's. I got next day UPS for $3.99 with Amazon. To conclude, I really abused them and they were 100% and at the price just buy them! People who give bad reviews just have unrealistic expectations or just don't know who to use them.

Bought these for my 7 yr old grandson for Christmas ... the toy walkie talkies are so disappointing .. but these are great! He carries his all over the neighborhood and talks with his friends.
Uniden GMR1636-2C Review by Froggy
Buyer beware, these radios are horrible. It is extremely difficult to understand what people are saying on the radio compared to other brands. They have their own proprietary battery pack, which will last UP TO 4.5 hours if there is no radio traffic. Expect about 3 hours of battery life if you actually use the radio. They take about 8 hours to fully charge via the included rapid-charger. Radio must be off when charging. The interface to switch channels and features is very complicated, you will have to memorize the manual. They are much larger than other radios, but no big deal. They are waterproof for the most part and float which is the only thing going for them. Do not use the accessory jack at all, or it ruins the waterproof seal and they will leak and die. These radios lasted me about 5 weeks before they died.
