- Do I need a license to use the T475 Extreme?
- No. It operates on FRS frequencies, which are license-free in the US. Just turn it on and talk.
- Will it really reach 35 miles?
- Only in ideal line-of-sight conditions like open water or peak to valley. Expect much shorter range in forests, hills or between buildings.
- Is it waterproof?
- It is IPX4 rated, meaning it resists splashes and rain. It is not submersible, so do not dunk it.
- How long does the battery last?
- Up to about 12 hours on low power. High power and heavy transmitting shorten that considerably, so bring the USB charger on multi-day trips.
- Can it pick up weather forecasts?
- Yes. It has NOAA weather channels with alerts, useful where cell coverage is weak.
- Does it work with other walkie-talkies?
- It talks to other FRS radios on the same channel and privacy code, including most consumer Motorola Talkabout models.
