Longer, Further, Uncut

by nad_masters Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Dec 25 '03
Pros: Works well, long battery life, ease of use, transmit up to 5 miles
Cons: No channel scan, GMRS frequencies require licence
The Talkabout T5720 is similar to the T 5620. 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 ...

Don't expect too much

by kaipradel , Sep 16 '03
Pros: Well-built, small units that pack away easily
Cons: Not water resistant, limited range due to GMRS limitations

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

by beachen , Jan 25 '04
Pros: compact and light
Cons: stay away from water
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 active ...

Simply great GMRS/FRS radios

by fruityrock , May 18 '04
Pros: Loads of features, great distance and battery life. Better bargain than most in this pricerange.
Cons: There aren't any real cons if you understand what your limitations are from the start.
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 the ...

Motorola T5720 from Communications USA
by wavey957 ,Feb 03 '04
Pros: Go to Communications USA at www.commusa.com.
Cons: Maybe the range, but that is expected.
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. Three AA alkaline batteries required per two-way radio.
QT feature offers an additional noise filter beyond the subcodes. Ten call tones to choose from--pick your personal ring tone and get other's attention before you start talking. Backlit LCD display makes it easier to read the screen in dark conditions or in direct sunlight.
