Description

The Rocky Talkie Mountain Radio is our award-winning, license-free radio, designed and tested in the Colorado Rockies. Built with climbers and skiers in mind, this compact and durable radio is ready for any adventure where communication is critical.

A specialized lithium-ion battery delivers 3–5 days of life, even in extreme cold. For durability, the radio features a shatterproof LED screen, a tough thermoplastic covering, and a secure carabiner + back-up leash system—far stronger than fragile plastic clips found on other brands of radios.

The Mountain Radio transmits at the maximum power allowed without a license (2 watts), with a tested max range of 35+ miles—though 1–5 miles is typical in backcountry terrain. For more info on range, please see our range testing video or blog post.

Simple and reliable, the Mountain Radio works right out of the box with zero setup required. Its five intuitive buttons and quick privacy code access make communication effortless and interference-free.

The Mountain Radio is compatible with our Waterproof Hand Mic and Acoustic Headset for convenient and accessible communication in any environment.

Each radio includes:

  • Trango® Quantum Carabiner
  • Metal-reinforced back-up leash
  • Lithium-ion battery (replaceable)
  • USB-C charging cable

Like all Rocky Talkie products, the Mountain Radio is backed by our commitment to sustainability and 3 year warranty for personal use, and 1 year warranty for commercial use.

If you have additional questions, don't hesitate to contact us or refer to the FAQ page.

    Mountain radio rocky talkie

    I ordered two of these rocky talkie mountain radio for my hunting trip these radios are better then expected these radios are the highest wattage we can use in Canada that’s considered legal with out a license I used these radios up north in the deep thick Bush and we got them working crystal clear for about 8km that’s about 4.5 miles the battery life on them is also unbeatable they had 75% out of the box and after a 3 day trip they only went down to 64% also you cannot hear any background noise we used them while on atvs and you cannot hear the engine from the machine in the background while useing the rocky talkie definitly a must have and if you have the option to buy the rocky talkie expedition gmrs radios definitely buy those two if I do end up getting a radio license those will be my next pair to get can’t wait to use them on next years fishing trip in the back country

    Distance

    I'm very happy with the mountain radios. I just tested them at a mile and a 1/2\n With about 600 yd of trees, right in the way.. And am I surprised\nThe reception was perfectly clear. There was some static. Well, I was still in my car once I got outside. It was crystal clear.

    Night and day

    Traded up from Motorolas that were borderline useless. Got a set of 4 of these and they’ve worked pretty well through the trees and some buildings in the Northeast
