Motorola Spirit GT Professional 2-Way Radio

Amazon.com Product Description
Keeping in touch with family and friends while enjoying outdoor activities, communicating between cars traveling in a group, or getting messages from base camp to summit is remarkably easy with the Motorola Spirit GT ultra lightweight two-way radio. Operating on one channel at up to 4 miles outdoors and covering up to 200,000 square feet indoors, this Motorola radio provides you the means to take advantage of the new family radio service (FRS) band. The device is ideal for use when you're running errands and enjoying outdoor activities, and it lets you talk to anyone for free.

As with a party line, other FRS users can overhear your conversations while operating on the same combination of channel and privacy code, but the radio's 38 privacy codes do block out additional channel interference. Its sturdy but lightweight (5-ounce) body will absorb minor impacts. It features four selectable alert signals to notify you of incoming calls and advanced voice activation for hands-free operation. A rechargeable NiMH battery powers the Spirit GT and holds up to 9 hours of standby battery life between charges. A carry holster is also included.

Motorola Spirit GT Professional 2-Way Radio.......2006-02-22

I bought these radios online a few years ago. Have used it since for weddings, road trips, ski trips, camping, vacation, cruises and in hotel rooms. The radio is great with ranges from 1-4 miles depending on the terrain you are in. Just used them up at Lake Tahoe and the range is great! We had friends in the registration lodge as we were on the other side of the mountain and could hear them fine!

Con: I can't tell what other Motorola models are compatible with the "Motorola Spirit GT Professional 2-Way Radio". Wish there was a list somewhere.

GT Plus not as functional as T280.......2002-05-07

GT Plus does everything the T280 does, but it is much harder to switch frequencies & channels. The T280 is a much better product at a lower price.

Business radios operate on overcrowded business frequencies.......2002-03-21

On the jobsite or in the workplace, professional two-way radios
provide instant communication with individuals or multiple groups.

Business communications made simple! The Spirit GT+ radio
is ideally suited for retail stores, restaurants, schools,
hospitals, event coordination, small businesses and more.

Special "wait-to-talk" feature requires that you wait for
all the other conversations from the other companies that
share your frequency to stop transmitting so you can talk.

Spirit® Professional two-way radios operate on business
radio frequencies, (not FRS) which adds to congestion on
the already overcrowded business radio service.
Not recommended for personal use.

Two channel operation allows twice as many users to
share the same frequencies with you and requires frequency
coordination with other companies in your area.

"Up to 4 mile range" means that you will recieve interference
and unwanted chatter from everybody else within a 4 mile radius.

Regardless of which 2 of the 8 frequencies you choose,
there will always be somebody telling you to "get off my channel!".

When you ask that person for their license information,
they will explain that "I don't need a license!".
When you explain the rules to them, they will argue
"your rules Do NOT apply to me!", then they will
start jammming you.

Here is a list of low power itinerant business radio frequencies:

1 464.5000 Brown
2 464.5500 Yellow
3 467.7625 J
4 467.8125 K
5 467.8500 Silver Star
6 467.8750 Gold Star
7 467.9000 Red Star
8 467.9250 Blue Star

Spirit® Professional two-way radios operate on
radio frequencies that are regulated by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). In order to transmit
on these frequencies, you are required to have a license
issued by the FCC....

NOT GMRS or FRS.......2001-12-27

This is a decieving radio. You need a business FCC license for it so you must apply for it and state your business need for these radio's. Its better to stick with GMRS or FRS unless you want to violate FCC R&R and use them for non-business use. There are FCC listeners everywhere that monitor the use of these frequencies and I have returned these radios and switched to GMRS. The claim that you have a 4 to 5 mile range is in perfect conditions, using these radios for the short time I had them gave me only minimal range increase from my FRS radios I've previously used. Range is dependent on the antennae and battery strength.

Motorola still knows how to build a radio.......2001-11-30

These radios are great. I use them while hunting. Good clear crisp communicataion over the entire ranch, I highly recommend them. I have 4.
