Motorola Talkabout FV200AA Alkaline two-way radios
Date Published: 4/10/06
The Motorola Talkabout FV200AA Alkaline two-way radios are compact, very lightweight, and simple in design.
These two-way radios offer an inexpensive solution for travelers and campers. Transmissions on the radios are sent on either FRS or GMRS bands (22 total channels are available), and included in the box are two units. Clarity of transmission is fairly good, especially since you can toggle the volume between 16 possible levels.
However, as is usual with GMRS radios, the 5-mile advertised range works out to more like 2 miles. Nonetheless, the overall performance is quite good compared to their more expensive competitors.
Under normal conditions, one should get about 33 hours of talk time from the AAA batteries (not included). Other features of the Motorola Talkabout FV200AA Alkaline two-way radios include: low-battery alert, talk confirmation tone, roger beep, and keypad lock.
