Reviews of the Motorola Talkabout T6500R - two-way radio - FRS/GMRS
-
CNET Review
The Good: Eight weather channels; dual recharging dock; hands-free operation; extra privacy codes; decent battery life.
The Bad: So-so GMRS range; small display with poor visibility and backlighting.
The Bottom Line: Whether you're outdoors or at the mall, Motorola's Talkabout T6500 radios keep you connected without incurring talk-time charges, but their range is limited by environmental conditions.
