The Motorola TALKABOUT T478 is a two-pack of FRS/GMRS two-way radios designed for emergency preparedness and outdoor communication. Licensed by the American Red Cross, these walkie-talkies operate on a license-free network with 22 channels and 121 privacy codes, offering a communication range of up to 35 miles in ideal line-of-sight conditions. They are compatible with all FRS and GMRS radios and include FM radio reception.

Each radio features 11 NOAA weather channels with weather alerts to keep you informed of changing conditions. A dedicated emergency alert button transmits a loud alert siren to nearby radios followed by ambient voice audio, enabling those around you to help. The built-in LED flashlight automatically activates during a power outage when the radio is on its charging tray, ensuring you always have light when you need it most.

The T478 offers dual power flexibility: included rechargeable NiMH batteries deliver up to 12 hours of use, while standard AA alkaline batteries (not included) extend runtime up to 28 hours. The included charging tray and micro-USB power supply keep batteries topped up. Do Not Disturb mode pauses all radio communications while charging except for NOAA weather alerts. The IP54 weatherproof design withstands rain, snow, and other adverse conditions. Each radio measures 7.5 x 2.2 x 1.3 inches and weighs 4.8 ounces.
