description
The Rocky Talkie is a license-free radio designed and tested in the Colorado Rockies. With a rugged design and over 3 days of battery life, it is made to last for any adventure.
The radio easily secures to backpacks and harnesses using an ultralight carabiner. For extreme terrain, a back-up leash prevents drops.
Each package includes:
- One radio with shatterproof screen (4.8 oz)
- Thermoplastic protective covering
- Ultralight Carabiner (Mammut Wall Light)
- Metal-reinforced back-up leash
- Lithium-ion battery (replaceable) and USB-C cable
The radio transmits the maximum power legally allowed for use without a license (2-watts). The max range is over 25 miles, however, 1 to 5 miles is more typical in backcountry terrain. For more info, please see our blog post on walkie talkie range.
The product is backed by a 2 year warranty. If you have additional questions, don't hesitate to contact us or refer to the FAQ page.
