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.
