Motorola Talkabout FV800 16-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radios Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I understood when I purchased this item that I probably wouldn't get anything close to a 16 mile range for these walkie talkies, however, I didn't expect to only get 0.3 mile. We live in a residential area (no skyscrapers or large powerlines) and I was very disappointed when the signal went from clear to static after about 4 blocks. I called Motorola technical support and they indicated that was a common complaint.

If range is a concern,don't waste your money on this product.

Motorola 16-Mile Rechargeable 2-Way Radio Set - SX800R Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I needed more coverage than the typical FRS radios provide.I work with people outdoors in hilly terain, reliable communications is vital, so I tried 4 of these SX800R radios from Mot.They where easy to set up and use.The crew trained up in less that 5 minutes. They provided the extended coverage needed and worked reliably.Fast recharge and day long battery life was just what we needed.

The FCC has a quick and pain free way to get the license to operate at the higher power levels of GMRS. Still in use today and very handy.

Motorola TalkAbout T8500 18-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radios Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We got these because one of our older radios broke. The reception was poor, we tested many different channels and it was very difficult to hear someone only 50 feet away. Our older radio (the one still working) had clear reception and clairty. We were very disappointed as we purcased these for a family road trip for which we caravaned. We would have been better off just using cell phones or writing notes and holding them out the window. We are not technically challenged so I don't think it was an "end-user-error". I would like to return these but my husband wants to keep figuring out why they don't work well. Vibrate feature didn't work consistently after setting it up a few times.Why 2 stars, the design is nice.

(More customer reviews)used them several times in the alps and the rockies.they worked great on the same sides of the mountain.if it was much more spread out, no workie.you can't beat it for the price and it came in handy when we lost my chic for 4 hours in a blizzard.we found her only by using them.however i might add battery life will only last a one week trip.pretty poor for that many batteries (3 AA's each).

Motorola T9500XLR 25-Mile 2-Way Radio Pair Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The T9500 radios are great radios and are the best I have used in the GMRS/FRS consumer family of radios for under $100.These radios have a great quick release belt clip and seem to be well built.The weather channels are a plus and sound clear through the T9500's speaker.I like the way the transmit button works.It has two switches built in.Press the button on the bottom and your radio transmits on low power (.5 watt).Press it on the top and your radio will transmit high power (2 watts on GMRS frequencies only).

Ok power, yes the T9500 transmits at 2 watts max power.It was hard for me to find this little known fact as this site and Motorola's own site conveniently neglect this info.I had to search the web and finally found it advertised on REI's web site.I am assuming the Motorola marketing folks thought this was a smart move as most consumers falsely believe more watts equates to longer transmission range.

I used to think watts were like horse power, the more the better.If you took two identical handheld radios one radio putting out 2 watts and the other radio putting out 5 watts you would get about a ? mile increase in transmission range under real world conditions with the 5 watt unit, all things being equal.But things are not equal from brand to brand and thank goodness for Motorola that this fact holds true.I have discovered over the years after using many different handhelds that what matters more is the quality of the electronic components, good circuit design, antenna elevation and electromagnetic conditions.Mostly what people will find with those other company's 5 watt units is they will use their battery up faster. If you think by getting an FCC license ($85) and a nice fancy new 2 - 5 watt high power GMRS radio you are going to see some massive improvement over your old .5 watt FRS radios think again.You will be lucky to get double the range of a FRS radio all other conditions being equal.I had the 5 watt Midland radios and took them back to get these and could not be happier with my decision.I don't see any difference in transmission range between the two sets and the Motorola's sound better and have better features.

Motorola TalkAbout EM1000 20-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio (Pair) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've got lots of these radios at our farm and few of them last more than 6 months.Battery issues and button failure are the main issues.As I understand it, the biggest problem is the chargers (sold separately) are not "smart" chargers, meaning that you can easily over-charge the battery and dramatically shorten its life.All that said, when the walkies do work they are great, the sound is clear, etc on our 12 acre farm.They are SOOO much cheaper than the professional next step up that we're continuing to buy them frequently to replace the broken ones, although soon I hope to try professional & hopefully more durable units.The belt clips and the charger build quality are shockingly poor.

Motorola SX600R 2-Way FRS/GMRS Radio Pair Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased 6 of these radios for my Squad.I am currently on my second deployment in Iraq and my squad has been split up to cover down on multiple jobs.Not everyone has an Army issued radio so I bought these in order to keep in contact with my soldiers during our daily tasks.I've tested these as far as 3 miles and they do a pretty good job.Clarity is always an issue when comparing them to Military issue radios, however, they work well for they are designed for.I've dropped mine more than a dozen times and it still works perfect.
