Two-way radios are powerful walkie-talkies that predominately operate on two frequency bands: Family Radio Service (FRS) and General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS.) This system makes it possible to put 2-way radios in the hands of the general public without a steep price tag. The Motorola FV700R Talkabout Two-Way Radio offers active families a simple and affordable way to stay in touch up to an outdoor range of 12 miles. It receives NOAA weather channels, offering coverage of all government-operated NOAA weather broadcasts, plus NOAA All Hazard Alert Radio. The FV700R also has a great voice activation feature called iVox that allows for hands-free operation with an optional headset.
