If You Are Looking For Two Way Radios...

[cindala]

Circuit City has the Uniden FRS420 two way radios on sale for $9.99 each. They have 14 channels, 38 subcodes, a vibrating mode, and 5 call ringers. It also has a sport clip so that you can attach it to your belt, purse, etc. Range is listed as up to 2 miles.

I debated for a long time between the Cobras and Motorollas, but for this price, and the little that we will use them at WDW, I decided to give these a try. They use 3AA batteries each, and the sale is on through Saturday, but when I went to my local store, there weren't that many left. Good luck if you are interested!

I'll have to get myself down there in the am. Thanks for the sale tip! Did you find it in the newspaper?

 

[cindala]

Yes, it was in their color circular over the weekend, around the next to last page.

before they realize their mistake. After reading cindala post, I ran down to Circuit City and bought my 2. I've been researching and really wanted 2 way radio but didn't really need to spend the money at the moment so I held off until now. When I got back from Circuit City, I had to do a search and see how good of a deal this was, by comparing with other stores. Well, if you really do a search you will see, that the model Circuit City is advertising is a FRS420, but when you read the description, that is not the one you are buying. The model at CC is the FRS420-2, which has the better features. FRS420 doesn't have the privacy codes or the vibrate alert. The lowest price on yahoo for the FRS420-2 is $45.00 ea.

Thank you cindala!!!!! This truly was a bargain.....

Hi Cindala-

I have a kid home sick from school today so i'll have to run when the older one comes in the door. I am armed with my circular. Wish me luck.

Is Carone0318 from Lodi also?

 

[karyn]

Which Circuit City did you go to?

 

[carone0318]

I live in S Jersey. I went to one in Moorestown, about 15-20 minutes from Philadelphia.

 

[karyn]

I live outside of Morristown and people also want to know if that's in south jersey. I have to tell them that's Moorestown. Confusing isn't it? Oh well....

 

[cindala]

carone0318,
Gee, I thought these were a good buy, but never realized how much they normally cost. I just didn't want to spend a lot. I'm glad you were able to get your 2. I bought mine at the Paramus NJ store, and they had about 4 left on the shelf Monday afternoon.

As momto4obkids stated, you can also order these on their website.

karyn,
Hope you were able to get yours too! Don't you just love a great bargain!

Picked up my Circuit City 2 way radios this evening at the Livingston store. The guy got them for me so i didn't notice how many were left. Also picked my son up a Sega Dreamcast game for $7.49 which i found in the bargain bin. What a great haul!

 

[momm2four]

I just ordered mine for 9.99, printed out my order confirmation and went back to print out the item description, since someone said that the model # they listed didn't have privacy codes or vibrate mode like the descr. said....well, I then get a "We are performed scheduled maintenance. Please come back later screen" I hope they aren't changing this particular item.


Edit: Never mind, I tried again at work and was able to print it out. Silly Me

Wanted to thank you for the heads up, went out last night after work and bought three myself. We're staying the HIFS, so thought they would be great for nights at the hotels, my kids are old enough to go to the game room and pool by themselves, but this gives me a great way to contact them........Thanks again.

WDW bound Sept 21-28, 2002

karyn,
Glad you were able to get yours too!

momm2four,
Try again. Alot of the sites do system maintenance, and it could just be a coincidence that it happened when you ordered. Good luck!

Thank you for your original post cindala! I have been following this thread since Sunday since I was interested in getting new radios since the ones we have now only have 2 channels on them.
I was able to go out and get 2 today (should I get more at such a great price - could be a great gift! ) in the Wilkins, PA store and they still had plenty.
Thank you too carone for giving us all of the information about the radios! That "sealed the deal" in my our mind about buying them!

Diz,
Thanks for the review site! I read through the whole report, and cnet liked these radios!

 

[Diz]

You are welcome.

I had a pair of FRS, but they weren't so hot so I stopped by today and bought 4 of the Unidens.

How are these radios regarding feedback noise when they are left on. I bought a couple of cheap ones a year or so ago, and they have a lot of hissing when they are on (don't have a good squelch).

Could someone let me know if these are less noisy when on standby.

Thanks

Thanks for the tip. I just went to Circuit City.com and ordered them and can pick them up within 14 days from my local store. I would love feedback on how they work.
