Motorola TalkAbout 250 FRS Radio

Looking for a great way to stay in touch while hiking, skiing, camping, or shopping? A pair of these little radios is just what you're looking for.

Last year in Quartzsite we only heard one other couple using FRS radios. This year there were people on every channel! It seems FRS radios have become the standard way RVers communicate with each other. And this TalkAbout radio is the best of the bunch.

The TalkAbout 250 radio is an upgraded version of the TalkAbout+ that Fran and I purchased over a year ago. We love them and hardly ever leave the RV without them. We use them to help back the rig, buying gas... when Fran has to go inside to pay. we use them in the grocery store and lots of places. Fran takes her radio when she goes for her walks. You can get cheaper radios but we highly recommend the TalkAbout.
