Reach Out and Touch Someone?Sort Of

Date of Review:  Aug 2, 2003
The Bottom Line: A well-made radio with good audio quality and all the popular features, this radio is easy to use but suffers from a small display screen and a poor manual.
Review: When I was a kid, my dad built a CB radio from a kit and spent endless evenings chatting with strangers. I suppose it was the 1950s equivalent of instant messaging. I was not as fascinated with the technology as he was and to this day eschew instant...

Longer, Further, Uncut

Date of Review:  Dec 25, 2003
The Bottom Line: Another YES!
Review: The Talkabout T5720 is similar to the T5620. So this review will read very similar to the T5620.

The biggest difference is that the T5720 adds the ability to transmit up to 5 miles (using GMRS frequencies) at 1 watt, while the T5620 only...

Don't expect too much

Date of Review:  Sep 16, 2003
The Bottom Line: Good for environments such as parks, malls, or ski hills. A nice toy that works when you understand its limits.
Review: I got the Motorola T5720's with great anticipation to be able to connect to lost biking buddies on the trail but much to my disappointment had to realize that they might be better used in Disney Land than in a Mountain Bike area.

But lets...

A fine 2-way radio-but stay away from water!

Date of Review:  Jan 25, 2004
The Bottom Line: Buy it and a Nimh recharger and keep the unit away from water
Review: I originally bought this radio so I could stay in touch with my 7 year old son at the park. While I have thought about these radios before for other purposes (hiking, mountain biking, shopping) I never really saw the need until my son and I became...

Simply great GMRS/FRS radios

Date of Review:  May 18, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you're a middle of the road user like me: short spurts around the 'hood, some biking, family car trips and the like, you'll dig them.
Review: My wife and I wanted a nice durable set of radios for around the house, camp, flea markets, etc. We went through some radios from Cobra and Audiovox before buying these Motorola T5720's. We don't require super-long range, but these radios seem to go...

Motorola T5720 from Communications USA

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2004
Review: I went to http://www.commusa.com and I was very pleased with the price and order speed. The T5720 model boasts all of the features of the T5700, with the additional ability for you to talk hands-free with optional voice activation (VOX) accessory...

good item

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2005
The Bottom Line: I basically bought it for the kids . Perfect for Disney parks etc. Mall.
Review: Havent tried long distances yet but close range quality is very good.
I have the T5710 which i gotta believe is the same as the 5720, but sold/packaged for Costco.
$49.99 for 2, ni-cad version with charger, ear-plug and faceplate. Seems...
