The Specific Area Message Encoding technology allows you to filter out unnecessary distant weather and non-weather broadcasts and, instead, monitors only your local area! The T9680RSAME radio displays a three letter code for the type of emergency, and a voice message plays when an alert is broadcast. NOAA WEATHER CHANNEL: Want to know where the best conditions are for your rock climbing outing? Tune into one of 7 NOAA channels (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) on your T9680RSAME for continuous local and regional weather broadcasting. And when you are out having fun, weather alerts will provide you with warnings of incoming weather to protect you from the dangers of a sudden storm. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS: Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast or just making sure you and your family are informed, you will have 24/7 access to alerts ranging from flash floods to tornado warnings to national emergencies. Use the radio feature to team up with someone in your neighborhood to check on each other in case of emergencies. The T9680RSAME provides the ideal combination for those who want real time accurate weather monitoring capabilities and the ability to communicate in case of emergencies. DUAL POWER: Are you running out of battery power and with no power outlet around to recharge the batteries? Just pop in 3 AA batteries and your unit is operating again for another 27 hours of estimated talk time. SILENT SIGNALS: The VibraCall silent vibrating ringer is especially useful for locations where ringing can be intrusive. This feature is also great when noise from a sporting event would drown out your ring tone. | | | Features: | |

 Great concept, so-so productJan 03, 2009
By William D. Back
We bought these based on the 20 mile range for a recent move. They were really helpful for chatting while on the road.
The drawback is that I have no idea where the ideal conditions really work. We tried these out in FL (very flat) at just a few miles and they didn't work. Since the grocery store locally is just a couple of miles away and my wife has a pay as you go cell phone, we had hoped these would replace day to day cell phone use, but so far no such luck. For short range, I recommend, but don't expect to get 20 miles.

 Excellent RadiosAug 31, 2008
By D. Krent
I purchased the T9680SAME radios about a month ago and took them on a long trip with a family of 4 that included the Grand Canyon and Philmont Scout Ranch. We used the radios to communicate with the kids to explore the areas and when my wife and I had to go in different directions. They helped a lot to keep the trip running smoothly. The voice quality is very good (as long as the volume is set just a bit lower than max). I also used them on a Cub Scout Pack hike so the lead to keep in touch with teh people bring up the rear - a nice way to keep the large group together and in sync. Overall the radios performed great! The only thing I did not test was the range limits. The weather info was a interesting but not extremely useful but we did not have any true weather emergencies.

* * Incredible Reception T9680RSAME Motorola 2 Way Radio * * *Dec 22, 2008
By Armando Diaz
After have bought a Cobra LI-5600-2 DX VP Micro talk 20-Mile Range 2-Way Radio - 2 Pack, I have decided to return these to Best Buy Store, because it doesn't charge the lithium battery completely and additionally it has a bad reception between radios, so I have decided to buy a Motorola 2 Way Radio model T9680RSAME. It is a solid, comfortable and reliable 2 ways. It has a great sound and clear communication between radios in or out of the city. I live in Monterrey Mexico and I can communicate with them easily in anywhere place due Monterrey have several Mountains around the city. Great Radios and the cost it's cheap really.

ExcellentAug 17, 2009
By A. Derdab
While in the US, I have decided to purchase Motorola radios to use them in different places such as Disney parks & shopping malls. It was really good to have them and communicate with my wife specially if we split.
At the parks, the voice was clear, no interruption by other radios due to the variety of channels, it has saved us a lot of tele-mobile cost.
We had a problem using the device once at the Tyson Mall in Washington DC where I was at the lower level of the mall and my wife was at the second floor, other than that, the device worked perfectly.
I recommend having the device. And use a regular batteries instead of the rechargeable ones which in the box, they give you a good power along with long usage time.

By Juddith E. Potock
The radios were purchased for local (Virginia ) use as a result of using a like item while big game hunting in Wyoming. The radios have excellent range and surpass in every operational mode our previous Motorola radios.
