Summary: A good way to stay in touch
Review: The 280SLK is very feature rich, but Motorola changed the headset plug so no other headsets work with this model. And nobody yet makes a earbud W/VOX (there is a Motorola earbud W/PTT). Sound is clear as long as it is line of sight. Residential housing quickly eats talk distance, but I was able to converse an amazingly long distance in both a several mile greenhouse complex, and thru many floors of the Circus Circus hotel in Las Vegas. I would say this is the best product for family communication at amusement parks. And the multiple levels of product mean you can get Dad a he-man Distance model, Mom a TA280SLK, and child the bargin-basement "talkabout" (though I would get child the Talkabout+ for the LOCK feature).

Review: The product performs as well as the mfg says it does. I have never been disappointed. We purchased 6 units for our swim team. They have been dropped, baked and used heavley. The button from one came up missing. We called customer service and they sent us TWO at no charge! I luv it!

Summary: Another Great Motorola Model
Review: The TalkAbout 280 is one of the best 2-way radios I have seen.It's operating range is remarkable for a radio in its price range.And the compact, durable build is capable of withstanding some major impacts. It also features a large display that lets you program and view the radio's current settings. I do suggest the AA model over the NiMH model for the operating time is more then doubled. The difference in price between the Talkabout 280 and the Talkabout 250 is only $20, but the 280's advanced features, compared to the 250 are worth the difference in price. END

Review: Usage: [5 stars] I keep coming up for new uses for these radios. I have taken them to conventions, paintball trips, ATVing in Glamis, driving, Big Bear, L.B. Grand Prix, swap meets. The SLK is VERY compact and easy to keep on you. Range: [4 Stars] Impressive to say the least, in Las Vegas I was on the 12th floor of the Stardust and I was able to stay in *clear* contact w/ my co-worker in the Las Vegas Convention Center. Now thats range for a 2-way under $100! Durability: [5 stars] I have dropped them a bunch of times and they dont break. Antenna is thick and rubber, the battery case is a large one-piece molding, so it doesnt crack easily at all. Features: [5 stars] They have almost perfected the SLK, it has a very handy page button. It rings like a cell phone to tell you someone is trying to get a hold of you. Also, it has the channel lock to prevent accidental channel changes. Only one bad thing about these radios,... you need to buy more than one to have fun! :)

Summary: Great little Radio
Review: We put these little radios through several tests hiking and camping the Cascades this summer and they passed with flying colors. The range was much better than expected. The kids found them easy to use and they took a beating. Somehow the radios came out in great shape and will be used for many other activities.
