Motorola Talkabout T800 Two-Way Radios, 2 Pack, Black/Blue

Product Information

The range in real-life conditions can be reduced from maximum range. The range quoted is based on optimum conditions with an unobstructed line of sight and without electromagnetic interference. It might not look the way you’d expect, but this is a powerful walkie-talkie –in fact, the 2,300mAh battery is well over double that of many devices on this list. The separate handset and base unit means you can clip the device in place and still easily reach the microphone. The T8xx series two-way radio work just like every other radio by sending information using radio frequencies to keep you connected while off-grid. The secret to the T8xx series is once your smartphone is connected to your radio over Bluetooth, the Motorola Talkabout smartphone app enables communication options beyond push-to-talk. The Motorola TALKABOUT app uses the T8xx series as modem to send messages, locations and more over the radio frequencies to your fellow T8xx series users. With enhanced communication and more information you enjoy unrivaled connectivity for peace of mind off the cellular grid. The European equivalent of FRS, PMR stands for Private Mobile Radio and covers 16 channels around 446MHz. The frequencies aren’t exactly the same, which is why you’ll rarely find the same model numbers for Europe and America from big-name manufacturers like Motorola.

In conclusion, this walkie talkie is free to use, powerful and durable, ideal for outdoor and water activities, as well as for professionals and amateurs. Motorola T82 Extreme Equipped with NOAA weather alerts, this radio keeps users informed about changing weather conditions and emergencies. It also features an integrated LED flashlight, which can be handy in low-light situations. These rugged, waterproof radios are ideal for water and snow activities. They feature emergency capabilities and, if dropped in the water, float face up for easy retrieval.I could tell they were rookies in all things walkie talkies. I mean, only newbies come to an outdoor event with 2-way radios without prior testing. Keep updated with real-time weather conditions via 11 weather channels with alert features (including 7 NOAA channels). Built firmly (in every sense) with the knowledge that the radio is there to help – not be the focus of attention – the channel display is clear and simple, clarity-enhancing auto-squelch is included and operation is straightforward with a beep tone confirming the end of each transmission. Equally handy is the automatic shift, to lower power to save battery when the channel isn’t busy.

Push-To-Talk (PTT) power boost allows you to extend the transmission range by increasing the transmitter power output. It also saves battery life when no power boost is necessary. This version has the functionvibrating alertto work without disturbing andof iVOX feature. You can enjoy hands-free communication. Go Locate– install the talkabout app on your smartphone and connect to your T800 via bluetooth – its then possible to locate a friend’s device, share your location and send messages – all this “off grid” with no cellular reception! We did have a few cases of bluetooth dropping – not sure if that was us or a common issue. The app has so much potential – unfortunately we didn’t have enough time to test it fully.

I finally got round to piecing together the Motorola T460 review a few weeks after the T600 review. It took a few weeks coming because my head needed clearing of everything T600. One important rule of using hand-held 2-way radios is to take them out for a test spin before any event. At least, you’d get the hang of it and be familiar with the controls and any quirks the manufacturers would never tell you. That way, you know what to expect and besides, it gives you the chance to makes sure everything is working as it should be before the real event.
