The Motorola TalkAbout 250 is a hand-held radio that is similar to a walkie talkie. The device features a big "Push to Talk" button to contact another radio on the same frequency. This allows communication in an area where cellphone reception is too low, such as hiking in the woods. A Motorola TalkAbout 250 has a range of up to two miles, enabling communication over lengthy distances.
