- Is the 35-mile range realistic?
- No. That figure assumes clear line of sight between two radios. In neighborhoods, woods or buildings, expect roughly a mile or less.
- Are these radios waterproof?
- No. They carry an IP54 rating, which means splash and dust resistance only. They should not be submerged or left in heavy rain.
- Do I need a license to use them?
- No. They operate on FRS channels, which do not require a license in the US. GMRS channels and repeaters are not supported.
- How long does the battery last?
- Motorola rates it at about 12 hours. Real use with frequent transmitting and the flashlight on will shorten that.
- What comes in the box?
- Two radios, two rechargeable battery packs, a dual charging cradle, belt clips and a user guide.
- How does it compare with the T470?
- The T475 adds a rechargeable battery and charging cradle over the battery-powered T470, while channel count and weather features are similar.
