This model no longer requires an FCC license to operate!
The Motorola MJ270R two way radio is designed especially for emergency preparedness kits, or for situations where special emergency features may be necessary. The MJ270R is equipped with a special emergency alert button. When held for 3 seconds a distress call is sent to all other radios within range, and the radio is briefly switched into iVOX hands-free mode so a message can easily be relayed to others.
In keeping with the emergency theme, the Motorola MJ270R is also equipped with a LED flashlight - perfect for emergency situations that occur at night or when the power is out. A mini-USB charging port is an added convenience, allowing the radio to be charged by any standard USB cable. These cables are very common and are used by many cell phones, MP3 players, or other electronic devices.
The Motorola MJ270R is compatible with all FRS/GMRS radios. It supports 22 channels and 121 privacy codes per channel with up to 27 miles of range in ideal conditions (up to 1.8 miles in urban conditions). Support for NOAA weather channels and iVOX hands-free use are also included.
This value pack includes two Motorola MJ270R two way radios, one dual-pocket desktop charger, one charging adapter, and NiMH rechargeable batteries for each radio.

The RADIO ITSELF IS GOOD BUT THE MOTOROLA MIC BUILT IN PLUG HAS FAULTY DESIGN.

Easy to use! review by McCune Family on 4/18/2017

We purchased the radios for our daughter to communicate with her friend who lives nearby. It gets difficult to hear about a block from her friend's home (approx. 2 miles with several buildings between). We knew this was a possibility but were surprised at how far they reached. She now uses the radio to play across the street at the park while we keep the other at home. It works really great for our family's needs!

I use these radios on a daily basis. Only one problem have to run other users of Channels 1-7 and 15-22 because those are license channels for individuals who have an FCC License too operate a GMRS radio.

GREAT HANDHELD FOR SHORT RANGE COMMUNICATION review by C M on 4/19/2016

Me and a buddy started our own 2 way radio club. We are storm watchers. We tested these MJ270R radios in all types of terrain in our area from low valleys to rolling hills to higher terrain in our location. We only managed 3/4 mile to almost one full mile of radio reception. Battery power is strong on alkaline batters around 32 hours. These radios make an excellent resource for communicating in case of power outages which would knock down cell phone communications. Be ready for all kinds of severe weather and think Motorola MJ 270R.

27 miles, LED Flashlight, practical. review by Tommy on 11/21/2014

I use these for family as intercom, communication between 2 buildings, it works fine. I've tested the real range in urban, with over 30 more houses and tall buildings interfered, it gets the job done(around 1 mile I suppose)

This is the second pair that I have had. I use them for Catering Parties and keeping in touch with other of my staff at the parties. They work great. Fortunately I have not had to use the weather alert function!

Our Parish started a parking lot patrol to help curve crime in the area. Our main goal is to be seen and be a good witness if something happens. As a former police officer, communication is critical with your partner so we purchased the radios as a trial. They are holding up well, simple to use and meet our needs easily. Buy Two Way Radio's had the best price, shipped right away and now has a customer for life. Thanks!

We got these as an experiment to use in our family recreation facility. We used to use a higher level radio designed more for commercial use, but these little radios have been a fantastic purchase. Durable, good battery life, easy to use and most importantly inexpensive!!

I bought these for use in the building I manage. I've been using Midland radios for the past six years but wanted to try a different brand. They work fine in line of sight but as soon as we're in the building, we lose the signal. Back to Midland I guess.
