Motorola Talkabout T7400R GMRS/FRS Rechargeable Two-Way Radios

Date Published: 6/28/06

The Talkabout T74000R 2-watt two-way radios from Motorola offer reliable performance at a reasonable price.

Manufactured with a rubberized shell, these models are resistant to water and are a good choice for outdoor activities. Should you be using them in harsher climates, you'll appreciate the weather alert feature and the access to NOAA's weather channels.

The rechargeable batteries provide decent life, but for extended hikes, the two-way radios can also operate on 4 AA batteries. Although advertised with a range of 7 miles, most people will get about 5 miles under optimal conditions.

Other features include: 10 call tones, Motorola QuietTalk noise filter, 22 channels (with 99 subcodes), voice-activated feature, and keypad lock.

The Motorola Talkabout T7400R Two-Way Radios are a solid buy for people who need extended range but don't want to break the bank.
