Uniden is offering some old school affordable fun with the release of its latest range of compact two-way handheld radios.

Available in triple and quad packs, the UH35 series UHF two-way handheld radios allow for communication between adventurers daring to drop off the telecommunications grid.

The ultra-compact, shock resistant and temperature tested radios are designed for hiking, camping, skiing and cycling or just hanging out in the urban jungle. The UH35 series has up to 20 hours of battery power and can communicate across a range of up to three kilometres, with access to up to 80 channels.

Other features include Auto Squelch, which blocks out low level hissing noises for a stronger incoming signal and clearer messages, Auto Battery Save to conserve power when in standby mode and a Battery Level indicator.
