Manufacturer: Motorola, Inc.
Part #: FR60

Description
Specification

Motorola is famous for its great FRS radios and its Talkabout FR-60 offers perhaps the best combination of price and performance we've seen. The FR-60 communicates on all 14 FRS channels and also has 38 sub-codes (also known as privacy codes) per channel so it usually isn't too tough to find an open channel in a crowded place. It also offers great sound clarity and a range that met or exceeded that of any other FRS radio we've tested. The dark blue device is solidly constructed and although it isn't the smallest FRS radio on the market it is very comfortable to hold. The large transmit button on the side is rubber-coated and easy to press when you need to talk but difficult to press by accident. A small red LED lights up on the top when you are transmitting so you can always tell if the device is working. A bullet-shaped knob on the top is used to turn the radio on and adjust the volume and the small rubber antenna bends a bit and therefore is unlikely to snap off if you drop the radio. There's a menu key that's used in conjunction with up/down arrows to select channels and choose a call tone. The FR-60 has five of these tones which can be used to call other people on your same channel by transmitting a short series of beeps and chirps that alert the other people in your party that you are about to speak. The FR-60 was a joy to use providing great sound quality throughout the volume range. We never achieved the two-mile maximum range Motorola advertises but then again no FRS radio will unless you are using it on a large body of water or across an enormous empty field. Suffice it to say the FR-60's real-world performance was right up there with the best of them and even though two of the radios are fairly costly it's still a great value if you need the features it offers. i--T.
