3 out of 5 stars Ok radio but TOO bulky.......2003-12-07

I have been using this radio for a few months. My first impression is that this radio is way too bulky for family use.

The radio works fine, got nice features, but one thing I want to mention is, the extra power on GMRS really won't do much to your range, so do expect to get only slightly better range than FRS. It is the environment that matters, not power.

Since you need the FCC license to operate a GMRS/FRS radio even if you are only using FRS, so I wouldn't recommend this for family use.

5 out of 5 stars Best radio i ever used.......2003-10-06

This is the best radio I ever used the range is incredible. I just came back from a camp out and it was windy and raining all day. This radio work the whole time no matter were I was in the camp every one could hear me. I love the repeater channels and the Voice scrambler. The weather channels keep me informed were ever I go. If you want to buy a radio it's well worth the money

5 out of 5 stars Put it right to work!.......2003-09-13

My shipping and receiving employees immediately became more productive as they were able to clearly communicate throughout our warehousing and manufacturing complex. Great product. We just went ahead and order the NiCa batteries and the recharging station as we noticed that regular batteries were only lasting about 48 hours.

5 out of 5 stars Motorola T7200 is the best! I tried them all and came back.......2002-12-05

Hi!

I took a pair of these on a 10 day cruise with 27 friends and family. These radios saved us literaly hours of priceless time. You can imagine what its like to coordinate 27 people to get together at a precise spot at a precise time when they are all scattered around. We didnt have to run around the ship trying to find one another. Although the radios are meant for outside use, we were able to communicate from the bottom deck to the top decks without a problem. We also were able to communicate from the top deck of the ship to shore, which was sometimes around 5 miles away when we dropped anchor and used the tender boats to get to shore. I had with me 2 of the Motorola T7200's and 2 of the Motorola T250's (2 mile range). And just for kicks i took along a Cobra GMRS(advertised at 5 miles) radio that i purchased cheap. All Motorola radios communicated clearly and had crisp clean sound. The Cobra radio always sounded muffled and a bit distorted. I highly recommend this model T7200 it has great features and it works as promised.

5 out of 5 stars Great Radio.......2002-11-03

This radio works just as claimed,the sound is great,the range is great and if you have need a dependable radio this is perfect,also the side key button is new with motorola and is much better than the front mounted on their other radios.
The features are to numerous to mention but if you want a good GMRS radio then this is the one I would say buy this one you won't find any better radio on the market way to go motorola you did great with this one.

4 out of 5 stars FCC license has noyhing to do with range.......2004-12-06

Everyone please understands that getting the FCC license for any GMRS radio does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to increase the range of the radio. The license is a piece of paper so the FCC may track who is using GMRS frequencies, nothing more. They used to do the same for CB users in the 70's. They do not track FRS freqs because of the low output power of FRS radios. Range is affected by output power of the radio but mostly by obstacles between you and the other radio. Trees, walls, buildings, hills, etc. reduce the range considerably. A true test of range is on open water or unobstructed Line-Of-Sight from one hilltop to another. (Not everyone has a boat) Buy three different sets from different brands and try them near a lake to test, return the ones that are not to your liking.

3 out of 5 stars Okay.......2004-11-30

I think with ALL these 2 mile + walkie-talkie brands, the ONLY reason they DO NOT REACH their SAID RANGE is because the USERS don't GET THEIR FCC LISCENSES! THE RANGE ONLY WORKS IF YOU HAVE AN FCC LISCENSE! IF YOU AREN'T WILLING TO GET THE LISCENSE, DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT THE WALKIE-TALKIE RANGE.

4 out of 5 stars ALMOST PERFECT.......2004-06-15

I purchased two of these units for use in shopping centers and on cruise ships. My wife and I had previously used a pair of older Motorola FRS radios, which were just not powerful enough to transmit through all that steel. We used the T7200 units today for the first time and they worked as advertised. We had complete coverage anwhere throughout the Mall of George, in Atlanta (a VERY large multi-level mall). Transmissions were strong and crystal clear (MUCH better sound than our older units). The weather channels also work very well and we listened to them all the way back to North Carolina. My only complaint with the T7200 is that the volume of the call tone is keyed to the level of the position of the volume button on the radio. If the volume level is accidently turned down (which happened to us once), the call tone cannot be heard when the unit is inside a pocket book or bag. This is a minor complaint and should not stop someone from buying the T7200. When it happened to us, my wife did not hear the call tone, but she did hear my spoken message, while the radio was inside her purse. Just be careful if you're not carrying the unit in the supplied belt holster. The T7200 is a great radio.....very functional and built like a tank! I would have given the T7200 4 1/2 stars, but the choice was either 4 or 5.

5 out of 5 stars Great radio that leaves the smaller Motorolas in the dust.......2004-03-23

I'm a communications officer for an Army aviation battalion currently located in Baghdad, Iraq. When we first got here soldiers (to include myself) were purchasing the smaller Motorola radios to augment communications. After a few months though, the unit was able to purchase 118 of the 7200s with operational funds. It was a good investment. There are plenty of channel presets available to avoid crossover with other units using similiar radios. The 5900 series radios, while also listed as "up to 5 miles" were never up to the task. They would barely push 2 miles on fairly open terrain. This radio, however, does seem up to task. The 5900s would give me about a day on a single charge. This radio, the 7200, gets me a little over two 12 hour work days. I haven't seen how far it can go but it doesn't have a lot of problems cutting through the the large metal hangars scattered throughout our area. Now that we've used this radio no one wants to go back to the other smaller Motorola radios we have. There's really no comparison in range or quality.

*One note though, none of the radios on the US FRS or GMRS bands (roughly 460-470 MHz) are compatable with the European unlicensed radio bands. Those run about 440 MHz.*

This is a good radio for a flight line or other open work site and the rechargeable batteries are key to keeping operating costs down.

5 out of 5 stars Good quality but kinda bulky.......2003-10-05

I've use Talkabout 101, T6310, T5710 and now T7200. The clear difference is the voice quality. It is superb.
