Happy Hump Day Followers! We wanted to talk a little time today to discuss Motorola Talkabout Radio Range. Motorola Talkabouts are perfect for family use and recreation. Most of the talkabout models run off of a rechargeable battery but there are some such as the Motorola FV300 that allow users to run it off of AAA batteries. This makes it convenient because you can always find AAA batteries anywhere.
The range of talkabouts can be confusing and sometimes a little misleading, especially if you have not used these types of radios before. The Motorola FV300 models for example are up to 10 miles range. This is best case scenario (mountain to valley). It has been our experience that most users get about 1/4-1/2 mile range in an urban area where there are buildings and trees in the way. Since Motorola talkabout radios are line of sight this means that the more things you have between you and the other user, the worse the coverage.
In short, the radios are great for occasional use as long as you do not mind the limited range that most of them have. Thanks for reading!!
