Motorola T6250 AA 2-Way Radio

From the Manufacturer
The TalkAbout T6250 delivers rugged Motorola quality with an extra communications range of up to five miles. The radio's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather channel can help prevent adventurers being taken by surprise by changes in the weather. The VibraCall alert aids in noisy environments where the ring tone might not otherwise be heard or when users don't want the disruption of a ring tone. Whether it's hiking, biking, or hitting the slopes, the radio's compact size is perfect for children's small hands or for adults who simply want to lighten the load on their adventures.

The radio uses three AA alkaline batteries (sold separately) and requires an FCC license for operation. You can upgrade your device with the optional NiMH rechargeable battery upgrade kit.

Wonderful Radio!.......2006-12-08

I have had the 6250 for about three years now and love it! Awesome range, very clear, nice and compact and was a great value. I agree with the other comments on wondering why they discontinued it. I love the scan feature, it even has an incomming signal strength meter that gives you a good idea of how close the other person/persons are. Very cool. I use the NOAA Weather feature often as well. Since I use it most often for hunting I have the ear bud and "push to talk button" accessory so as to keep transmission quiet. Just last week it took a 20' straight -down tumble out of my treestand and it never phased it (wheew)! Can't say enough - great radio! Don't hesitate if you find one for sale!! I should have bought 2.

Of all of products out there, this one is well made, has great sound quality, excellent reception, and small compact size without compromising performance. If you can find them on ebay or someplace else, buy them.

Too bad Motorola stopped making these, I wonder why. I am writing this review after two years of experience with this model as well as having used other brands and models of Motorola.

Motorola no longer builds this radio. Buy it used here if it's available. Motorola really blew it by not continuing to make this item. Cobra and Audivox quickly moved in to fill some of the voids left by the exit of this item from the market. Maybe Motorla thought it had other customer information on the features that most people want. The result: every other Motorola consumer 2-way radio, except for the t7200 (much more expensive), has fewer features, is much bulkier, and in most cases, inferior, to this unit. For example the t5950 has NOAA weather channels, but no alert for severe weather bulletins. Why take away such a basic complementary feature? I don't get it.

I preface this review by stating that I purchased this radio primarily for its weather radio feature (not many others have it) and I use it only on FRS channels so far.

This radio has an unparalleled wealth of useful features for its price. I have found the following features useful, and you'll have to pay more to get them on another radio.
--Voice scrambling: Good but it takes time to adapt to it.
--Scanning: An awesome feature; scans all 22 channels quickly.
--Weather radio: Excellent. I get three channels in the Chicago area.
--Range (FRS): In an outer-suburb setting you do get 2 miles.
--Vox: Hands free does work but it takes time to adapt to it.
--Batteries: Uses 3 AA batteries. Other manufacturer's comparable radios take 4 AAA, thus representing a bigger expense over time for batteries.
--Size: Comparable radios from other manufacturers are much larger than this unit.
--Shortcomings. Battery case does not seal totally, but it has not fallen off during my use. The PTT button is on the front, though it has not been as much of an inconvenience as I thought it would be.

I upgraded to this from the Motrola 5420 (sold in pairs), itself an excellent FRS radio. I have found this unit to be equal or superior in all comparable respects (except for the PTT button on the front, and battery lid sealing), and I have yet to upgrade its use to GMRS--the license costs $75.00 per household for five years.

I find this item to be small and compact. Light weight and easy to use. I love the weather station feature and the VOX hands free capability... without having to purchase an accessory! And the range, this is definitely NOT a kids toy. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the location of the "talk" button. Not that I have a better suggestion... but I think it's just a little awkward. But overall a great value for the money.
