The Motorola Talkabout 250 is awesome. I use my set all the time with friends and family. They are great for indoors and outdoors. This set operates clearly on a static-free UHF-FM. There is a range of up to two miles, unless there is bad weather outside. They have 14 channels, and 38 privacy... Read full review »

Pros This is a great 2-way radio and has a very great traveling distance!!!!!!!!!!
Cons there is no cons about this great radio. It is better than a lot of other 2-way radios
Recommended it? Yes

These are excellent little radios. I use rechargeable alkaline batteries with mine, and
they work well. My most common uses have been keeping in touch with my buddies
while fishing and mountain biking. As with any low-wattage, non-licensed system,
range is line-of-site only. Motorola... Read full review »

They looked cute, and with the one-day sale that was going on, combined with the cyber-coupon I had in my possession, they... Read full review »

I think the Talkabout 250 radios are pretty good. I first got my Talkabout 250's about 3 years ago. My family and I use them whenever we go to the mall or places where theres a lot of people.

It wasn't easy! She thought I'd been off gadget shopping again when I ordered up a couple of these handsets over the internet. A little surfing found some for around $75 each so I signed up for a blue one and a yellow one. I'd used a friend's set on a ski trip and wanted to have more fun!
