This is great info - but it's 6 years old! Any place to find a current version of the chart, with new models? Thanks.
As of February 7, 2022 all of the models listed in this chart except two are still current. Motorola has not replaced their Talkabout line with all new models at this time.
Team I am trying to have my Wouxun radio talk to my Motorola T260TP radio. What frequency is the T260TP operating at team? Thank you.
The Motorola Talkabout T260 is an FRS radio and operates on 22 FRS/GMRS frequencies. You would need to program your Wouxun to those frequences. Keep in mind that most Wouxun radios are not FCC type accepted to operate on those frequencies legally in the US. The only exception to this is the Wouxun KG-805G, which is an FCC type accepted GMRS radio and is already pre-programmed to those frequencies. The Motorola T260TP is the same radio as the T260 in a three pack.
going to purchase a T465, going to use for outdoor tracking..is it good choice? wanted to compare to a other T models, T480, T605....
