Excellent range, has an extraordinary amount of features/settings, good battery lifeTALKABOUT Two-way radio with 22 channels each with 121 privacy codes. It survived our standard weather and durability. Its range is a touch better than the lowest performers, but a long way from the longest talkers. It is cheap, but not the cheapest - it is light, but not the lightest. The Motorola Talkabout T100 came in the lower and middle of the pack in all categories, except higher marks for its small size.It survived a few sprinkles of rain, but we did not test it past its stated capabilities. Weather Resistance and DurabilityMotorola does not specify this radio as having any water resistance. If you will be using this at night, it lacks an illuminated screen. In cold weather we had to take our gloves off to do what we wanted to use the front buttons, but the PTT button is gloved-finger-friendly. The removable belt clip works, but it's not secure enough for rougher activities like mountain biking. It is not a confusing process to make adjustments once you have read the instructions, but the controls are not immediately intuitive like knobs are.If you do find defects or weak points, the radios are covered under a one year warranty from Motorola. This radio has fewer reports by consumers online that their radios arrived broken or stopped working than many of the others we tested — This could point to stronger quality control conducted by Motorola. It doesn't have any small parts that seemed likely to break off with rough handling.
