    Now when the weekend rolls around, Motorola Talkabout walkie-talkies are the affordable solution that lets you put a handheld radio into the hands of all of your family and friends!

    Outdoor enthusiasts and scouts of all ages who seek to "Be Prepared", will dig the MH230R's 11 weather information channels. 7 of those info channels come direct from NOAA.

    When it comes to two-way radio coverage from your FRS/GMRS walkie-talkie, you're in good hands with a Motorola Talkabout MH230R. Most sites will tell you that you can get as far as 23 miles of two-way radio range using an FRS/GMRS family radio. That's rarely the case in practical use situations. That 23 mile figure is the maximum possible under ideal testing conditions, like say, if you're on top of a mountain with a direct, unobstructed line of sight down to the person you want to talk to on a perfectly clear day. How often does that happen? *cough*

    Here at Techwholesale.com, we give it to you straight because we want you to find the walkie-talkie that works for you and your family. 2 miles is a much more realistic figure. In urban areas, you've got buildings and people and cars in between you and your friends on their FRS/GMRS walkie-talkies. Out in the wild, your two-way radio sound waves stream around and off trees, rolling terrain, critters... 2 miles give or take is a real world estimate for all FRS/GMRS radios, as all walkie-talkies that transmit on the FRS/GMRS radio frequencies are limited to .5 watts of power output by FCC laws that govern two-way radios.

    Besides not having to fill out paperwork or pay for a license for the FRS radio frequencies, using a .5 watt or 500 milliwatt two-way radio means you're not burning up a lot of the battery life it takes to run a high-powered radio. (You do need an FCC two-way radio license to use the GMRS radio frequencies). The Motorola Talkabout MH230R lasts up to 8 hours on a full charge for the NiMH battery that ships standard with the walkie-talkie. Added flexibility comes in the MH230R's capacity to use AA batteries that you can pick up at any grocery or convenience store while you're out enjoying yourself! Run out of charge? Pack in a couple of AA's and you're back in action!

    Each model of Motorola Talkabout walkie-talkie combines both the Family Radio Service (FRS) and the General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) UHF two-way radio frequencies to give you a total of 22 radio frequencies on which you can talk with your friends and family. Because walkie-talkies are fun! And because FRS and GMRS are un-coordinated radio bands for public use, they're fairly heavily trafficked. To afford you more opportunities to use your 2-way radio uninhibited by crosstalk from other users, the MH230R Motorola Talkabout radio comes with 121 interference elimination codes (or privacy codes).

    Example: You and a group of friends are having a blast at an amusement park. The more chicken contingent splits off to take in a show, while the brave few go for the ten story plunge on the Free Fall. You might pick FRS/GMRS Channel 11 and Privacy Code 97 to coordinate when you'll meet up for lunch (assuming you still can stomach it). What's the likelihood of someone else within your likely 2-mile walkie-talkie range choosing both Channel 11 and Privacy Code 97 to talk? Not terribly likely! In fact, the Motorola Talkabout MH230R offers 2,662 opportunities to enjoy your walkie-talkies without crosstalk interference from other users in your area.

    The MH230R Talkabout's Quiet Talk feature filters out other non-Motorola walkie-talkies in the area for a smarter, more private two-way radio experience. Your MH230R also features a backlit display for checking your radio status at a glance, a time-out timer, 10 call tones, and LCD battery meter, advanced priority scan, keypad lock, talk confirmation tone, battery save, audible low battery alert and a mini-USB charging port. A whole host of options to ensure that you get the most out of your walkie-talkies with the Motorola Talkabout.
