Motorola always make good radios, the range is shorter than stated unless you have a clear line of sight. I have had clear comms over a distance of 1.8 miles. The signal is good and stable, and the handsets are easy to set up and use. NiMH batteries do not have the charge capacity of a LiON battery but they do the job, just have AAA batteries to hand to back them up is required. Overall a good radio that does not require a licence. These were bought to replace broken Kenwood radios used for retail security guards. Good choice, but not what you could call soldier proof or rugged.

These work very well, but in common with other PMR 446 legal radios, they transmit with a mere half a watt, and the antenna is restricted in size. These have only the old eight channels, but from early 2018 sixteen channels are allowed, with a slightly longer antenna. Motorola make one of the first 16 channel radios, called the "Extreme" When buying Motorola, remember they are the trusted manufacturer of police radios, and manage their communication system, previously called "Airwave".

The handsets are constructed to last, they're small but tough, with rubberised grips and easy to use soft touch buttons, The LCD display is clearly readable with a backlit LCD screen. We've tried these walkie talkies in a number of different environments, both built up and open land, in both case we transmitted and received clearly audible conversation over short distances. However in built-up areas you would be hard pushed to achieve more than two miles without substantial interference and/or loss of reception. The supplied battery packs are rechargeable, both in and out of the handset, offering easy battery replacement and recharging. However the batteries which supposed to last up to 16 hours (total standby time) not talk-time. One main advantage is that you can also operate these handsets using four standard AAA alkaline batteries, or power the handsets from a 9vdc adapter directly. Pros: Hands free communications (VOX mode) Remote monitoring (baby monitor) Selectable Roger beep 8 main channels 120 Multiple privacy sub-channels Channel scanning mode Strong removable belt clip Cons: Shorter than expected transmission distances (NOT 8Km) Battery capacity could be higher than only 800mah Conclusion: I've tried many small portable two ways radios, and these Motorola T60's prove to be a reliable and well built radio for the price and seem to out perform all other brands of similar power and size.Read full review

Lightweight, easy to use, clear reception, great battery life, and reasonably priced, only one small criticism, the lanyard loop would be better on the top or the side as it has to be removed to nest the handset for charging.
