What makes the Rocky Talkie different from other radios?
The Rocky Talkie is designed for athletes to push their limits in the
outdoors. Unlike the fragile plastic belt clips of other radios, our
radio easily secures to backpacks and harnesses using an ultra-light
carabiner. For extreme terrain, a back-up leash is included to prevent
drops. We nd that this system is the dierence between actively using
the radio and keeping it in a backpack for emergencies.
In addition to the convenience oered, the Rocky Talkie includes a
shatterproof LED screen (no-glass) and a thermoplastic covering to
protect the electronics. The radio is ready to use out of the box and
requires zero conguration. The electronics are simple and reliable - we
cut out all of the superuous radio features that kill battery life. The
radio has 5 buttons that are easy to understand and still support the
critical advanced features (such as privacy codes to prevent outside
interference).
What is the usable range of a Rocky Talkie?
As with any FRS radio, the range is highly dependent on the
environment you are in. We done our maximum range (line-of-sight)
testing in open areas with little interference. The maximum line-of-
sight range is greater than 25 miles. In other environments with more
trees,hills, or mountains, the range will be signicantly reduced from
the maximum because the radio waves cannot penetrate large bodies
of earth. You can expect to get a range of around 0.5 to 5 miles in
these type of environments. The toughest environments for radio
communication are cities and urban centers where large buildings
block signal and the air is lled with other radio waves causing signal
noise. In these environments, expect to get up to 1 mile of range. All
