Customer Reviews

Motorola is best in the field
very usefull when in a trip with friends. If there are 2 cars you can comunicate very nice and very easy.
the battery is good, since you don`t need to charge it up very offen.
Worth the money.

Good for the Price
After reading all the reviews here, I went ahead and bought the Talkabout anyway. That just goes to show that you can’t always rely on someones elses opinion. What do you wnat these 2 ways to do for you? if you take them on a boat, you’re out of luck…water and the like of reception for any non marine 2 way is the same.

If you want a good 2 way for family, emergencies shopping, camping etc…this is a good set for the money. READ THE INSTRUCTION and set the channel to 15 or above to get your very high reception. You can’t set it to the 0-14 and you get stricthy FRS 0.5 watts.

I set mine to channer 15 and hi on the set….it is good up to 2 mile in just about any situation for me. VOX is a joke however and it you wanted voice activated conservation, you will spend $100+.

Both radios must be set exactly to the same channel and hi or lo to get the best reception. One great positive that I always get in a 2-way is the ability to use both ni-cads and regular AA batteries when needed.
I have used this set in our cars out of site and around the corner and picked up perfect. Metal structures will cut the reception if your are in a shielded building.

I gave if only four stars instead of five because it is constructed of all plastic, but durable for me, and the instruction are, well foreign at best. One of the features that you wnat to stay away from is sets that have NO volume feature. this one has the top knob that you can turnon and then turn loader on turn it down, fast and easy.

Recommended for adults that are savy about electronics and the read instructions.

Useless…very disappointed!
I am very disappointed…the reception is so poor that I can barely make out what is being said on the other end at any distance. We have tried every channel and nothing comes out understandable. I would stay clear of this brand!
