*Motorola advertises FRS/GMRS radio range in miles, however your actual range may vary as it depends on a number of variables. In this chart, we to refer to range as Low, Mid or High. For more information watch our short video Radio 101 - The Truth About FRS/GMRS Two Way Radio Range.
Correction to your table, The T260 has handsfree iVOX and perhaps VOX when connected to headset.
It's also important to restate that 'privacy' codes are anything but, they're just another way to squelch non-Motorola radios. If folks want to talk to non-Motorola radios they need to set the privacy channel to 0.
Additionally, the T465 (and probably the T460) have dual PTT buttons, one labeled L and another H. This presumably pushes the power up to the higher thresholds for GMRS, but it's not always clear if that's the case.
