Product Description

Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who often get separated from their groups, such as mountain bikers, serious hikers, and whitewater rafters, this pair of Motorola rechargeable two-way radios keeps you connected from up to 12 miles away (based on terrain and conditions). The wide-ranging signal also works for more pedestrian tasks, such as keeping tabs on the kids while they're playing at a friend's house or calling your pals in the lodge while you're skiing on the slopes. Each radio comes equipped with 22 channels--including eight GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service), seven FRS (Family Radio Service), and seven GMRS/FRS combo channels--giving you plenty of frequencies on which to communicate. The radios also receive a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration channel, which delivers up-to-the-minute storm warnings--a must for mountain climbers. And thanks to the rugged housing, convenient side grips, and included holsters, you'll enjoy quick, constant access to the radios in the midst of almost any activity.


Customer Reviews

12 Miles? Yeah Right!

We bought these radios for three reasons: kids playing in the neighborhood, communicating while skiing, and short distance communication. Two out of the three reasons didn't work for us. We took them to Colorado and the performance wasn't at all what we had hoped. I was at the base of the mountain and my husband took his to the top. We lost reception probably half way up the lift. I also took one with me on a short trip in town just to check the 12 mile range. I was two miles down the road and lost reception - we live in a suburban area of Atlanta where this should not have been a problem. It does work great in the neighborhood when my son is just a stones throw away! Oh well, I guess we got suckered into the 12 mile pitch - hopefully you won't!


Better Clips But Not The Best

I love motorola. I will always buy walkie-talkies from them. They are very durable and reliable. I had the T5620 before the SX700R and it worked for a long time. I have dropped it in sand, water, cement, and lots more. It still works fine. I gave it three stars because the clip was better than the ones that broke after a few months of use. One of the reasons I bought the walkie-talkie was because of the convinient holster feature. But the problem is it does not clik-in well. The first day I used it I dropped mine at the library and my little brother dropped his while shopping. We found them but trust me you don't want to lose them. The cost just over $70 at Best Buy. I know motorola can do better than this.


good features but too bulky

I've owned these radios for 3 months. Overall they are nice. They have great features like variable power (1/2 watt vs 2 watt), NOAA, vibracall, GMRS channels (which are uncrowded and may provide an advantage in theme parks) and rechargable batteries. However the radios are too big. They are not heavy, but with the belt clip they are 8"x2"x2.5" (40 cubic inch). This compares to my older TA280SLK at 7"x2.5"x1.5" (26 cubic inch) and my T6220 at 6"x2"x1.25" (15 cubic inch). You guys with the least bit fashion conscious wives may have then balk at wearing them.

Additionally the charger has two problems. It too is too big for travel (you can't use the charger without the base). Also there is no "charge finished" indicator.

The range is better with the 2 watt option. I have compared them with the above mentioned radios at the same distance and the quality is better. That being said, what really matters is lack of obstructions not power of the radios, as others have said.

I would have given them 4 rather than 3 stars if they were smaller.
