Motorola Talkabout T9680RSAME 28 Mile Two-Way Weather Radios (Pair)
Details
Motorola Talkabout T9680RSAME walkie talkie radios have a range of up to approximately 25 miles. Push-to-talk power conserves battery strength. Plus, access to weather and emergency channels.
S.A.M.E. Specific Area Message Encoding
Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) is the protocol used to encode the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and NOAA Weather Radio's Public Warning System in the United States. A user may program a SAME receiver to receive alerts for a specific county and/or marine area. Without SAME programming, users receive alerts for ALL coverage areas, which can occupy excessive bandwidth.
Features:
- Range up to approximately 28 miles
- 22 channels, each with 121 privacy codes for 2662 combinations
- S.A.M.E. Specific Area Message Encoding
- NOAA Weather Channels + Alerts
- VibraCall vibrating alert
- Push-to-Talk Power Boost
- Dual Power: Up to 27 hr. alkaline or 9hr. NiMH talk time
- iVOX/VOX hands-free operation
- QT Quiet Talk Interruption filter
- 10 Call tones
What's the difference between Motorola Business Class (CLP, CLS, RDU, RDV, DTR) radios and Consumer Class (Talkabout series) Radios?
There are two major differences:
- Business radios operate on business exclusive frequencies and privacy codes to ensure a clear signal without interference.
- Business radios are made much more durable than consumer radios, and are tested in Motorola’s accelerated life testing lab. Consumer radios are not built to the same standards or put through such rigid testing. Consumer radios are built for infrequent use: weekend hunting trips, multiple car caravans, skiing, camping, amusement parks, etc. Because business radios are designed for years of daily use and abuse, the lifetime cost of the radio is less than a consumer/recreational radio.
