Motorola T5000 Talkabout 2-Way Radios with Rechargeable Pack Review

Motorola T5000 Talkabout 2-Way Radios with Rechargeable PackThese are the radios that as a daily user, and owner of several older and newer Motorola models, consider my favorites.Thankfully, the T5000 does not incorporate the 'compander circuit' that the newest Motorolas have.Very clear audio for a consumer radio.Range is decent, have tested them up to 3/4 mile in urban terrain on the one watt channels, and that is the best to be expected.UHF frequencies are easily affected by hills and trees, and is best to consider these for use in the neighborhood or mall.Have tested 5 watt commercial radios on GMRS, and honestly, the range is not much better than the T5000.

The PTT button is more recessed than other models, giving it less tactile feedback.They do not have the advanced scan feature, no vibration, nor can the audible programming feedback be muted.Durability is average, my friend knocked the scan button off of his radio, and briefly lost the battery cover.The standard plastic swivel belt clip can get stretched out.

The included NiMH 600mah battery packs need the initial 16 hour charge, and battery life improves with several charges.After several 10 hour days, we realized that AA 2500mah rechargeables will last longer, and recommend Duracell over Energizer.A drawback to using any rechargeables is the battery meter is designed for alkalines, which causes the audible low battery chirp to sound early.

To summerize, these are worth $39 for the pair and the belt clip is ok if you're careful with it.They fit well in your hand and pocket.I recently bought a second pair of the T5000 after many weeks of using my first pair, and very satisfied with this model.
