What customers say about "Key Specs"

Motorola Talkabout T400 Rechargeable Two-Way Radio

Very good range with our kids as they play at various homes in our neighborhood and when our family goes skiing.
Good not great...range is no 32 miles...naybe 1 on good day
They work good. Not sure if the range is what they claim. I'm sure it isn't but for what I bought them for using with a crew to talk shot ranges they are great.
I am familar with FRS/GMRS radios and their true limitations. In reality if you get 2 miles in varied terrain you are doing something special. I didn't expect a miraculous increase in range but was hoping for a little better clarity fromthese radios.
As our older Motorola talkabouts began to show age, a few years ago we bought some replacement walkie talkies in the lower price ranges and were VERY disappointed with the quality and range, and could not use them.
The range in the mountains was less than a mile. No where near what we were hoping for - even when we were unobstructed.

We can understand each other clearly. Additionally everybody else can use their own radios, and they all work well together.
These work pretty well around the neighborhood up to 1/4 mile. Further than that, you begin to pick up a lot of interference.
We use them on jobs sites the most distance we have used the at is about 1/4 mile. And they were loud and clear.
Rugged. Not afraid of water. Good sound, good range.
Awesome product! Works great and reception is very clear, even on distant FM stations.

What customers say about "Features"

Motorola Talkabout T400 Rechargeable Two-Way Radio

The design of the units is attractive in navy and black.
The belt clips were more substantial than some in this price range, plus they could be removed.
The headsets are cheaply made and don't fit anyone's ear well and the rubber cover for the charger port is very hard to get off for charging. Good quality overall.
he radio is weather and water proof and that is a good feature. The wall hanger will permit you to hang on the wall for future use.
The headsets never worked right on both walkies at the same time. I spent a long time trying to get them to work.

Motorola Talkabout T460 Rechargeable Two-Way Radio

Great radio which plays well with other brands. Flashlight is a nice touch as well.
The micro USB charging is perfect as everyone has a car charger and plenty of spares to travel with.
Great radios that are simple enough to operate and can be locked down and handed to an 8yr old.
Very handy wit the little LED flashlight - bright enough for nighttime walking

What customers say about "Power"

Motorola Talkabout T400 Rechargeable Two-Way Radio

In 4 months we have liked and had no problems with the rechargeable batteries. We also like the USB connectors, they take up a lot less space than older charging bases.
A couple of times I have accidentally left them on the charger more than the recommended time period, but so far at least, no issues with the batteries
These worked great during a recent hunting trip. The battery life was impressive.
NiMH battery pack installation is not clear, and the while instructions are included, the actual physical orientation of the pack is not shown, and it can be oriented four ways.
I bough these radios after being disappointed by Midland's design decisions WRT battery life management - but those at least worked properly - loud and clear sound, adequate power, no issues with receiver overload (even being were 5W units), etc. -- battery life was my only concern.

Motorola Talkabout T460 Rechargeable Two-Way Radio

They use USB charging via a USB port so that it is more flexible in charging it when you are traveling.
These worked great during a recent hunting trip. The battery life was impressive.
Works very well, we had very good range on this product, and fantastic battery life.
They keep a charge for a very long period during constant use.
Batteries hold a good charge so far, we will see how they do in the long haul.
