Reviews of the Motorola Talkabout T6500R - two-way radio - FRS/GMRS

    CNET Review

    March 1, 2005

    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.
