Skiers, hikers, hunters and all active sports enthusiasts will get the maximum enjoyment from their outdoor experience using these Motorola Talkabouts(R) with their rugged, shockproof design and robust signal. In addition to an independently field certified range of up to eight miles* for the T7400 and up to five miles for the T6500, both Motorola Talkabouts(R) come with rich feature sets. See http://www.giantintl.com/ .
Whether climbing a sheer rock face, coordinating a kayak portage, or locating hiking buddies in the woods, Talkabout(R) two-way radios make any outdoor adventure more enjoyable and convenient. Skiing with friends and family is a more fun, group outing when everyone can keep in touch throughout the day.
Sports enthusiasts are prepared for changing weather conditions in the field, on the slopes, or on the lake with eight NOAA weather channels available at the press of a button. The radios are equipped with earbuds and voice activation (VOX) for hands-free communication. Additionally, both models feature priority scanning to easily find the group's channel and code by searching all possible combinations while the home channel is scanned most frequently.
Motorola Talkabout(R) radios have been re-engineered to upgrade technical features and to provide brawny new looks that complement the outstanding performance for which Motorola is known. The new Motorola Talkabout(R) series of two-way radios have the built-in power to take advantage of both General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) and Family Radio Service (FRS) frequencies.
The exclusive Motorola features, QT(TM) (QuietTalk) noise filter, 99 Interference Eliminator Codes and Companding Technology, differentiate the Motorola Talkabout(R) T6500 and T7400. QT(TM) is a noise filter that, when enabled, eliminates competitive FRS/GMRS radios from being heard on Motorola Talkabouts(R). With 61 of the 99 Interference Eliminator Codes exclusive to Motorola, Talkabout(R) T6500 and T7400 users have the most clear channel combinations available for uninterrupted communication. Noticeably clearer transmission quality and an extended effective range are produced by a special feature called companding, a sophisticated digital technology that filters out the static hiss between words.
The Motorola Talkabout (R) T7400 has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $109.99 (for the AA battery model) and $139.99 (for the NiMH rechargeable model). The T6500 has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $69.99 (for the AA battery model) and $79.99 (for the NiCd rechargeable model).
