Motorola T5500R GMRS Rechargeable Two-Way Radio

Date Published: 6/16/06

The Motorola T5500R GMRS Rechargeable Two-Way Radio includes a pair of 2-way radios from Motorola that offers reliable performance at an exceptional price.

As with most GMRS radios, these 1-watt models are rated at 5 miles of range, but you can expect about 2 miles under ideal conditions. Even when in an urban area, the QuietTalk noise filter and the choice of 22 channels and 38 subcodes ensure a minimum of interference.

Operating the radios is relatively intuitive, and if you prefer to minimize button pressing, you can set them to the voice-activated mode. The radios operate on three rechargeable AA batteries, and both units can be charged in the docking cradle simultaneously. Other features include: removable belt clip, 10 call tones, time-out timer, backlit display and keypad lock.

Overall the units in the Motorola T5500R package are durable radios that perform well for a very low price.
