Description
Introducing the Rocky Talkie 5 Watt Radio. This radio is fully compatible with the award-winning FRS Mountain Radio, IP67 waterproofing, 5 days of battery life, and 5-watts of power for optimal range. Designed and tested in the mountains and rivers of the Colorado Rockies, the radio is rugged with protective rubber padding and a shatterproof LED screen. Each radio is hand-tested to IP67 waterproofing standards (1 meter submersion) and includes a water-shedding design for quick communication in white-water. The radio maximizes two critical aspects of a backcountry radio: battery life and range including a specialized 1800 mAH battery, even in frigid conditions (-20°F). The radio transmits the highest amount of power for handheld GMRS radios (5-watts) with a max range is over 35 miles, however, 2 to 8 miles is typical in backcountry terrain.
