Pros: great features, cool colors Cons: eats batteries, expense
I bought hubby a set of Motorola Talkabout 250’s for Christmas two years ago. When I made this purchase, never in a million years did I think I would end up with one. Actually since I purchased this for hubby, we have purchased four more radios....
Now I use to have a job in a small office but there were a lot of rooms there so sometimes we could not just walk into the next room to find everyone - in fact sometimes people were outside so this was brought in as a solution. They were very simple to...
Pros: Easy to use, convenient, useful, reasonably priced Cons: Range can be limited
I never actually planned on buying my TalkAbouts. I don't think I ever knew exactly what they were, or exactly what I could use them for. But one day I was online and saw them. They looked cute, and with the one-day sale that was going on,...
Pros: Great sound and battery life Cons: Not waterproof
Recently, we purchased a set of these 2-way radios to keep in touch on road trips and while skiing. We bought them because the concept sounded great—a cheap alternative to cell phones while we’re doing bike tours or up in the mountains. We hoped to...
Pros: subchannels, lock feature, battery meter Cons: short battery life
We purchased our 250s last summer before our trip to Disney World. There would be 3 adults & 3 children in our group so we knew at some point our party would get separated, either purposely or accidentally. We researched the topic of two-way radios a...
Pros: Fun for the whole family Cons: Price, batteries, range
Motorola TalkAbouts are walkie-talkies for grown-ups. I don’t remember the countless sets of walkie-talkies my brother and I wore out as kids. There was always some type of reconnaissance going on in the neighborhood. Playing army, playing spy, hiking...
Pros: Rugged and reliable communication device. Cons: Power button is not recessed enough. Can be accidently turned on in a pack.
Reason for Purchase
How many times have you needed to get in touch with someone nearby? Your cell phone doesn’t work. I had such a experience while climbing in the Sierra Nevada mountains. I was ¾ of the way up my climbing route and the...
Pros: Great range and reception, small, light and easy to carry Cons: eats up 3 AA batteries in about 5 to 6 hours of talk time.
I figure it's best if I just tell you straight out that I didn't buy this to use out on the slopes skiing or snowboarding. I didn't buy the TalkAbout 250 to use in the woods for hunting or fishing. I bought it for two reasons, the malls so I don't have...
Pros: Easy to use, works well Cons: Everyone has them, the voice activated accessories no not work well
The Talkabout is one of those gadgets that you find more and more uses for everyday. If you leave them in your closet then they will stay there and collect dust. If you leave them in your car or keep them around, you will use them all the time. They...
Pros: Compact, Good Feature Set Cons: Light could be brighter
Many years ago when I was a child, by brother and I received a pair of walkie-talkies as a Christmas gift. I remember them well. They were about the same size and weight as we were and each had a telescoping antenna that extended to around two or three...
Pros: Better than a cell phone, great for hunting and fishing, quality! Cons: Battery life may not be as adveritsed.
This Is My Husband's Two Way Radio
I purchased this two way radio as a present for my hubby. We live in Alaska, a paradise for hunting and fishing - the great outdoors!! His brother often comes up to visit us and the two of them take off on...
Pros: Fun, Cream of ~$100 2-way radios, Rugged, Nifty looking, Motorola brand Cons: Price, Range less than advertised, Two-way radio chatter takes some getting used to
As a kid, I always thought walkie-talkies were the coolest. It made me envious of the secret service, janitors and even Gary Coleman-esque security guards. There were the kiddie walkies which basically had a range of a Popsicle stick and carried more...
Pros: Good range, compact, several nice features. Cons: Range could be a little better.
When I first bought this product last fall, my wife said "what another electronic toy!" Well, everything changed when we took the talkabout 250 skiing. We were able to communicate and discuss the conditions of the ski area by first separating...
Pros: Crystal Clear, Scan Button, Ease of Use, and Durability Cons: non here
