Motorola T250 2-Way Radio (Shadow Anthracite)

When I looked at these 'family radios' I thought I'd spend the extra money and get something good in a Motorola. Range is low and they eat batteries like crazy. I would not buy another unless it comes with a charger. Richard

This radio is great for talking at the shopping mall (if you still shop in malls), or for use on the trail when you are hiking. I use it at the beach when I am boating.

The TalkAbout has about a 2 mile range, and works great from a boat . . . The TalkAbout 250 requires 3 AA batteries, and runs for at least 24 hours.

After using the TalkAbout 250 for several months now I am very happy with it. When I purchased my TalkAbout, I also purchased the "Motorola 50225 TalkAbout Remote Speaker Microphone". This remote speaker microphone works on the TalkAbout 250, but not on the TalkAbout 280. I was originally going to get the 280, but there was not yet a remote speaker microphone available.

With 14 channels and 38 privacy codes on the Motorola TalkAbout 250 you won't have to worry about listening to other peoples conversations.

this is a great product and amazon has the best price for this talkabout. You wont find it cheaper anywhere that i looked.
