Digital camera reviews of Motorola Talkabout T280 2-Mile 14-Channel Two-Way Radio (Black)Digital camera Review: We use our TalkAbout 280 SKL-NiMH all the time Summary: 5 Stars
With two very young children, our outings can be very unpredictable. Time is tight too. The Motorola 280's have been a great time saver. Sometimes we split up in the mall. One of us goes to do some shopping while the other has fun with the kids. We don't have to worry about setting up a time and place to meet up. It's easy to ask a question or change/make plans from 1/2 mile away.We use it on hikes and while walking around the neighborhood. They're also great when you are travelling with more than one car. The range is supposed to be about 2 miles. It can differ depending where you are. Everything I've said is a good reason to by any 2-way radio. Why did I choose this model even though it costs a lot more than some of the other ones? -They're rechargeable. It's real convenient to plug them in for a couple hourse after -They're compact. Even more compact than the the 280's that take regular batteries. Their size makes them easy to bring along anywhere. They also have a removeable belt clip. Clip them on your pants or belt or remove the clip and they slip easily into your pocket. -They're rugged. The 280's survived drops onto pavement and gallons of baby drool. -They have 14 channels and 38 privacy codes. If you go somewhere where there is a large crowd, you will run into other people with radios. The extra channels help you find a quiet channel. However, we rarely have to change channels. We've had ours for almost 2 years now and they have been very useful.
Digital camera Review: crystal clear voice reception,compact (small) Summary: 5 Stars
I have a set of these 2 way radios and they are excellant. My wife and I use these when we go to the mall,or when we go on a trip with another couple using 2 cars. My dad and I also use these on our 120 acre farm.When driving in cars reception is good up to a mile. When using outside around hills reception range seems to be around .7 to a mile. When using outside in ideal conditions (flat land, a way from power lines) reception seems to be around 1.8 to 2.2 miles. This unit is small and fits in the palm of your hand. These units uses AA batteries which lasts up to 30 hours.
Digital camera Review: wonderful little tools Summary: 5 Stars
these 2-way radios are great - the ta280slk is the best small 2-way radio that we have used - great reception, clear voice over at least 1.5 miles in heavy cover and in the clear - they go more than the 2 miles advertised - great features and very easy to use - my 9 year old grandson was using these radios inside of 2 min. - these are so good that we have ordered another pair - now all of the family can have a radio when we are out and about - another great point - over the water from our boat to a friends the broadcast range was more than 2 miles by a long shot -- some users complain about the broadcast button being in a awkward place - we do not feel that way at all - great tools for the outdoorsman and women - and great for keeping track of the kids and grandkidsparki
