Motorola Walkie Talkies Talkabout Review

Motorola Two Way Radios.

Motorola Solutions have now replaced their PMR446 range with the brand new T42, T62 and T82 Motorola Walkie Talkie collection. All these radios are suitable for a range of outdoor activities including climbing, skiing, walking and camping. These Licence Free radios are a perfect way to communicate with others with a simple Push to Talk (PTT) button. Making it easier for yourself, the T62 and T82 Motorola Walkie Talkie range are ready to take out of the box and start using, no hassle or additional fees of a licence.

So, the question people asking is what the difference is between the Motorola Talkabout Walkie Talkie Models? 

Motorola T42 Talkabout Walkie Talkies.

The Motorola T42 Walkie Talkies have been designed for the family in particular the kids for day trips and adventures in the woods or whilst on day trips. The Motorola Walkie Talkies offer a simple, compact easy to use radio that operates with AAA Batteries and offer a range of 4 km line of sight perfect for the rural environment. In urban areas the range is dramatically reduced but would be perfect for kids living in the street to talk to each other.

The Walkie Talkies come with an easy to see display and low battery warning. The Motorola T42 Walkie Talkie is available in red or blue twin packs or a triple pack with its own unique colours which we think is great for the family.

The Walkie Talkies are very low cost, which make them perfect for kids and because it is made by Motorola it comes with 12 months warranty and a brand you can trust.

What Do The Motorola Walkie Talkie Radios come with?

A selection of accessories including lanyards to carry the radios, belt clips, USB main Chargers and Earpieces at no additional cost. Each radio comes with its accessories based on if it is a twin pack or quad pack.

The T82 Extreme Walkie Talkie Quad Pack is great value which is why it is so popular. If you were to purchase one of the other models, then purchase the accessories separately the cost would be a lot more than the T82 Extreme.

The beauty is it all packs together nicely in the carry case making it easy to store and stops you losing or damaging the accessories. Cases are supplied with the twin pack and quad pack T82 Extreme versions.

The Best Walkie Talkies

If you are looking for a Walkie Talkie for the Kids, I would definitely purchase the Motorola T42 Walkie Talkie . It is low cost, short range radio and very easy to use.

If you are wanting the best of the Talkabout Walkie Talkies with all the accessories I would purchase the Motorola T82 Extreme Walkie Talkie.The Quad Pack is great value for money and comes with that extra weatherproof rating that helps it last longer.

Not A Digital Two Way Radio

Please note the Talkabout radio is not a digital two way radio it operates in analogue mode only.

Motorola Radios

Please remember the Motorola Talkabout range has been created for occasional leisure use and are not designed to be used every day for business. They are just not robust enough to be used for that. If you require a licence free business radio, I would suggest you look at the Motorola XT420 or Motorola XT460 .
