Customer Testimonials
3.five stars. I bought these walkies for use on a cruise. The walkies did the job on the ship and I was successfully able to communicate with my friends while on board. There was often static throughout the calls, and conversations greater than 5 words each and every way, had been hard to hear. We had been in a position to communicate, because we kept our responses to 1 or 2 word answers. I was able to reach my buddies anyplace on the ship, the Carnival Elation. When I left the ship and went to Ensenada, Mexico, I was unable to reach everyone in my party. I got nowhere close to the five mile range advertised.
Getting never employed a walkie prior to, I located the setup and use very user friendly. I did not have to replace the battery for the complete length of the cruise (4 days), and I used the walkie various occasions per day. I did turn it off immediately after going to bed.
I purchased the pair from Radioshack for $20, and believe that for the funds, you cannot anticipate a lot more than you get from this radio.
Summary:
Pros: low cost, user friendly, lightweight, uses three AAA batteries
Cons: Excellent of call, range is nowhere near five miles as advertised.
I would recommend this item to any person who wants a low-priced way to communicate with others, for brief (no much more than 5 words per response) conversations, inside a 1 mile radius.
All of the 12 diverse Motorola Talkabouts that I have purchased more than the past 11 years, such as my 1999 T-5950 model, ALL had 121 Interference Elimination Codes (Privacy Codes, or Squelch Codes). The radios use this code when they transmit to activate the speakers on the other radios in the group on the very same channel and code.
The model radio listed on this page does not have this code. That is fine if you only use FRS/GMRS radios devoid of codes, but if you want this radio to work with others that use these codes, you will have to disable that function on all the other radios.
As for range, I tested it at 100 meters, through a couple of houses, and it worked fine, with some static audible. I like the fact that all the buttons, including volume, can be locked, so that pockets and youngsters can not alter the channel, or turn it down by mistake.
This is, by an inch, the smallest Talkabout I have owned, which is fantastic. The radio body is just three.5" extended.
