- Is the 25-mile range realistic?
- No. That figure assumes open line of sight. In timber, hills or buildings, expect well under a mile to a few miles depending on terrain.
- Can it get wet?
- It is not water resistant. Keep it dry or put it in a waterproof pouch if you hunt or hike in rain.
- How long does the battery last?
- Motorola rates it at up to 29 hours per charge. Heavy transmitting shortens that, so charge both radios before a trip.
- Does it need a license?
- No. It uses the FRS channels, which do not require a license in the US.
- What comes in the box?
- Two radios, rechargeable battery packs and a charging setup for both. Check the listing for the exact charger type.
- Is $149.99 a good price?
- It is the only new price found as of November 7, 2026, so there is no lower new price to compare against. Watch for bundle or seasonal discounts.
- Where is the Motorola Talkabout T265 Two Way Radio 2 Pack cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $149.99, as of our latest check.
