DeWalt DXPMR800 Heavy Duty Professional Walkie Talkie PMR Radio with Up to 15 Floors/10km Range, License Free-Black and Yellow, Black & Yellow, 2 Pack

Product Information

We wanted something small with no antennaes for property management – the antennaes kept breaking off of the other Dewalt radios we have – the property with the buildings and such did not work for us as long range in comparison to the other dewalt ones. Other than that – we loved them but had to return

With great power comes responsibility. You must understand local regulations every time you use a GMRS radio to avoid fines or penalties. For example, where we tested the BF-F8HP in California, only licensed amateur radio operators can use it and only on amateur radio bands. You must walk a tightrope between taking advantage of this unit's extensive power and programmability and staying within legal guidelines to avoid breaking FCC rules. If you're not prepared to put in the time to learn how to properly use the radio and earn the license, this isn't the right one for you. This radio is for technically inclined users who are willing to get licensed to get the best range and flexibility for their specific needs. Great little things for being pretty close say like a party or around the office but not out in the field if you need like 1/2 mile. I’m looking at regular walkie talkies with ear piece. I run equipment and need good connectivity with the other machine. This radio's main selling point is its waterproof housing making it an easy choice for a sea kayaker or paddleboarder. You'll pay for it though, and the extra protection adds heft and bulk. If you don't expect to drop your radio in the water and need one that can withstand the odd slash or light rain shower, most of the options we tested will work. Many are smaller, lighter, and less expensive. If you spend all your time on the water and don't want to worry about sinking a radio, we recommend the T600. This excellent radio is easy to use and offers great, reliable performance from sunny days to stormy ones We’d offer to Dewalt that they should reconfigure the robustness of the belt clip. There is a small plastic tap at the top that indexes into the radio body. We felt that repeated removing and attaching over time will weaken this tab causing failure. The entire team labeled this plastic tab as a weak point. How Much and Where To Buy?

The team liked all of the radio features, especially its large on and off knob, and push to talk [PTT] button. I will note that the team did comment that the PTT button location [front face of the radio] took a bit to get used too. Many of the radios they’ve used in the past had PTT buttons on the side of the unit.

It's important to note that many manufacturers claim that their radios have much greater maximum ranges, like 30 miles. Make sure you read the fine print. Often these tests are conducted in optimal conditions, like from "peak to peak," where there is nothing to interrupt the signal but air. In our real-world testing, none of the radios transmitted anywhere near their advertised ranges. Power Saver: A unique circuit extends the life of your batteries. If there are no transmissions within 10 seconds, the unit will automatically switch to battery save mode. It was clear to us that these radios were easy to use and intuitive. All of the team members assigned a radio turned them on, and started using them immediately. Day 1, channel 1; we turned these radios on, and hit the ground running. Dewalt 2-Way Radio Range Battery life won't be an issue with the easily rechargeable pxton walkie-talkies. These devices are durable and waterproof, with a range of up to three miles in open areas, and have 16 preset channels that are selected by the intuitive rotating knob on the intercom. Apart from the normal side-button walkie-walkie operation, these also feature voice control, particularly useful in situations when your hands aren't free, such as climbing or cycling. They each come with their own charger, belt clip, hand strap, and high-quality earpieces.I have a small construction crew and saw these new DeWalt walkie talkies. Have used them for a few days now and can’t believe how far away they will work. It’s been much easier that using our cell phones. Size of these are great. Very rugged and will survive a drop and even if it doesn’t survive the fall it has a lifetime warranty!!

We were pleased with the radios volume and were able to use them effectively around earth moving equipment like excavators and even around chipping hammers. The Dewalt yellow make these radios easy to see and the small size and light weight [0.48lb] made it comfortable to carry in the team’s vest or on their belt. There is sufficient rubber over-mold for a slip resistant grip. ROGER BEEP TONE: Confirmation tone indicates the completion of the user’s transmission, and signals others it is clear to talk. LONG RANGE COMMUNICATION: One watt of power provides Up to 100,000 sq. ft of long distance signal range depending on terrain and conditions.

Love the compact size. Bought this for use around the house, to communicate with laborers. Range is spotty. Better than nothing, though. Still kind of disappointed. Construction wise these radios seem well-built with rubber gaskets and a rubber covered PTT button. Rated at IP67 means that this radio is able to work in dust, dirt, rain and survive drops. In fact, this rating means that the radio is capable of a 2 meter drop and can withstand water immersion between 15 cm and 1 meter for 30 minutes. All of the team members agreed that the audio quality is very good to excellent. The true test would be the audio quality in the field. We tested two different radios models and the only difference between them were size and watts. The slightly larger radios were 2 watts and smaller ones 1 watt,. RunTime One enthusiastic customer commented, "I got reception well past the 30-mile range listening in on communications from a group of folks reporting their traffic conditions."

For runtime we simply paid attention to the need to charge. All of the radios operated for 10 hour days without the need for charging or topping off the battery. Dewalt claims that the radios have an 18-hour runtime based on 90% Standby / 5% Talk / 5% Listen usage. Sufficient Volume? Roger Beep Tone: Confirmation tone indicates the completion of the user’s transmission, and signals others it is clear to talk. We then signed out 8 radios to specific team members and asked them to start using the radios. Dewalt 2-Way Radio Ease of UseDual power and micro USB charging are a few features that the Motorola T200TP Talkabout radios have to offer. Depending on terrain and conditions, you'll get a range of up to 20 miles with these things so you won't have to worry about being separated from your hunting group.
