 Terrible Range June 30, 2008
The T8500 claims to have an optimum range of 18 miles. I live in flat farm country. It couldn't get any flatter. We tried most of the channels, tried turning the digital filter on and off, and the best range we could get was one mile. Beyond that, the caller was choppy at best. Very "staticky" at 300 feet. Definately not worth the money I paid for them. I agree with the review above...you could do better by holding up signs...I am returning mine tomorrow.
 2way radio June 29, 2008
These are pretty good. They have a lot of directions but they come in handy when they'r are storms in the area. That is what I got them for and my 5 yr old Grad-daughter plays with them for the 2way Radio. She loves it. Now that I got them I listen to it for the Weather. It tells you a lot. Great to have around for what ever you need them for. The weather or playing with them for the two way Radio
Useless due to poor noise quality June 25, 2008
The unit is cheap, appears to be solidly made, the batteries last a long time, the range is good - up to 4km in a straight line if there is no hills or trees between radios but the noise quality is so bad you cannot understand what the other person is saying. This poor noise quality makes the radio useless so I would stay away from this model.

I have had a pair of Motorola 1 watt radius P50 walkie-talkies for over a decade. They are amazing radios but pretty big. We got the Motorola T8500's for Christmas. They are worse than a toy. I am really disappointed with Motorola. They used to be an industry leader in communication devices. These radios are better suited for tree ornaments. We used them on a clear day at a small ski area. I set them up following the directions explicitly and "trained" my wife and kids how to use them. Holding the mike key for a second before talking, not too loud, not too close etcetera. Nothing helped. The range seemed fine. They called each other but there is no chance of understanding what the other person is saying. Incredibly frustrating. Everything else about them is well designed. Battery packs face plates and controls, now if they just worked! I'm returning mine and looking for a brand that has radios that can be used for talking to someone as opposed to annoying them. Shame on you Motorola.Motorola T8500 Talkabout 2-Way Radios with Rechargeable Pack, NOAA Weather Alerts and Vibrate
