This Expedition Radio Kit pairs two 5-watt GMRS radios with two rugged Quantum Loop carabiner attachments—an all-in-one setup for backcountry communication.
The Expedition Radio is hand-tested to IP67 waterproofing standards (1 meter submersion) and built with protective rubber padding and a shatterproof LED screen. A specialized 1800 mAh battery delivers 4–6 days of life per charge, even in frigid conditions. With 5 watts of transmission power—the legal maximum for handheld GMRS radios—the radio reaches over 35 miles in ideal conditions (2–8 miles is typical in backcountry terrain).
The Quantum Loop Attachment secures your radio where you need it most. The system combines a durable steel-reinforced thermoplastic loop with a climbing-rated Trango Quantum Carabiner, giving you a lightweight yet bombproof way to clip your radio to harnesses and packs. The backup leash adds extra security for demanding missions.
Each Expedition Radio includes both a compact 7.5cm antenna (pre-installed) and a longer 17cm antenna for improved range and stronger weather channel reception. Additional features include NOAA weather alerts, 11 weather channels, dual-channel monitoring, and access to 8 repeater channels to extend communication range.
Designed and tested in the Colorado Rockies, the Expedition Radio Kit is built for climbers, paddlers, skiers, overlanders, and anyone who depends on reliable communication in remote terrain.
Don’t have a GMRS license? No problem, the process is simple and affordable. Please note, this radio is not allowed for use in Canada. Checkout our blog post here.
Like all Rocky Talkie products, the Expedition Radio Kit is backed by our commitment to sustainability and 3 year warranty for personal use, and 1 year warranty for commercial use.

Just got back from 19 days in the mountains elk hunting. I got the chance to use my Rocky Talkie almost daily. The range and clarity of this radio is exceptional . Easy to use and excellent battery life. The ability to get clear NOAA weather reports was also very helpful. I’ve used multiple “lesser” radios in the past and the Rocky Talkie is definitely a step up. Thanks for making a such a quality product.

Bought two of the Rocky Talkie Expedition Radios for family outdoor trips (i.e., fishing and hunting). Most of the locations we are in have no cellphone service and we want to keep communication for safety. My first outing with them was fly fishing on the Pecos River. They worked perfect and we were able to check in on each other regularly. The radios had outstanding clarity and great battery life. I am looking to buy two more. Well worth it!

Generally I don’t leave reviews - but I was on the fence about being these for a while before I pulled the trigger so I hope it helps someone do the same . I hunt the Adirondacks in NY with a group of guys - we generally hunt lowland swamp areas between mountains . I have never had a day of radios actually pick up signal with any regularity .
We took these out on a hunt for the black powder opener . We only got to stretch them about .7 miles straight line distance - but between the woods and both of us being down in a different swamp hole we could hear each other . Not only could we hear - it was clear - this was with the smallest antenna it comes with .
The gator clip is solid and the leash is great , I got the carabiner as well which I think for my use case isn’t necessary but those are solid too .
If I lost these tomorrow on a boating accident I’d buy another pair to replace them - solid product , easy to use , cost is high but the quality is there . If you generally are a person that prefers to buy the good one once - this is it .

Tested these out at a summer camp that we need reliable communication at and these exceeded expectations!!! The second a tree stood in our way with our old walkie talkies; we lost all communication. The Expedition Radio worked sooo well in buildings and across the whole camp site. Can't wait to fully use them next summer.
