There are many proposals on the radio equipment market for providing communication in the area with difficult conditions. walkie-talkies in the marching mode of operation do not show themselves in the best way, therefore experienced users initially turn to special modifications. Devices for use in mountains and forest trails have a mass positive qualities, providing reliability and immunity to interference, but, as a rule, their functionality leaves much to be desired. Nevertheless, the creators of the TLKR-T80 Extreme managed to combine the technological filling and the advantages of the protective case. Instructions, a review and reviews about this model will help you make a more complete impression of it and, possibly, decide on the purchase of the device.
General information about the model
The radio module belongs to the segment of semi-functional devices. Intermediate positioning, on the one hand, saves users from registering equipment, on the other hand, it allows the use of modern radio communication options. The model covers a distance within a radius of 10 km, which is enough for using the headset in exploration expeditions and on vacation with the family. By the way, the device Motorola TLKR-T80 Extreme is well oriented towards combining with other communication techniques, therefore, if desired, it can be configured to perform the function of a baby monitor. However, the main area of operation of this model is extreme travel conditions. Multiple protective shells provide a reliable barrier against moisture, dust, dirt and sun exposure.
Features of the model
Despite joining the group of rather popular devices for operation in the wild, this model was able to distinguish itself with some features. So, the list of functional content includes such options as channel monitoring mode, voice transmission activation, vibration alarm, etc. It cannot be said that these are unique capabilities even for this type of device, but their combination is still not typical for all extreme models. ... Compared to the general background Motorola TLKR-T80 Extreme is distinguished by its “off-road” qualities. Among them, we can note the independence of the radio module from the weather, the presence of an LED flashlight and a spacious case designed for convenient placement of accessories.
Appearance of the device
Many people criticize the model for its typical case design, which does not differ in design delights. But it was precisely the adherence to a given fashion that allowed the creators to make the device ergonomic. Although outwardly the device really resembles stereotyped state employees, it lies comfortably and pleasantly in the hand, without causing problems in handling. And this despite the weight of 140 grams (without battery). Also, to increase the tenacity, the developers have justifiably refined the structure with side corrugated inserts. It is also worth noting several color schemes in which the radio is presented. The basic version is considered to be the yellow version, but there is also a black version of the Motorola TLKR-T80 Extreme, the photo of which is presented below.
As for the convenience of the arrangement of functional elements, then it is made according to the standard scheme. At the top is a small but informative screen. Below it are a panel with rubberized keys, a speaker and a microphone. An antenna, a flashlight, and jacks for connecting headset accessories are installed at the very top. In general, the layout is comfortable and ergonomically friendly.
Equipment
Theoretically, there are no restrictions on the use of walkie-talkies in one channel. The manufacturer offers two devices as a basic kit, but it is still more profitable to purchase the new Motorola TLKR-T80 Extreme Quad Pack, which includes four devices. The standard package includes straps for fixing devices, a power adapter, nickel-metal hydride battery cells, Charger, headsets and straps. Actually, this set is enough for the full operation of radio modules, although as additional accessories the manufacturer offers an equally wide list of all kinds of devices that expand the functionality of the equipment.
Specifications
If in the ability to cope with the negative influences of external conditions this model is similar to the alternative offers of walkie-talkies, there are some advantages in terms of its filling. In particular, the good reception parameters of Motorola TLKR-T80 Extreme are noted. The characteristics of the device are presented in full below:
- The standard of moisture protection of the case is IPX4.
- Frequency spectrum - 446 to 446.1 MHz.
- The power of the radio transmitter is 0.5 W.
- The number of channels by frequency - 8.
- The reception radius is 10 km.
- The number of codes is 121.
- Antenna type - non-removable.
- The number of batteries is 1.
- Battery type - Ni-MH.
- The number of melodies to call is 10.
- Dimensions - 57 mm in width, 173 mm in height and 40 mm in thickness.
- Weight - 140 g.
Device management
What is important for extreme walkie-talkies, control is implemented in two ways: using mechanical keys or through voice. The traditional control scheme practically copies that of the base model TLKR-T80. The user has four main keys at their disposal, through which he can choose between communication groups, make a call and receive, and also block the device. Separate controls in the Motorola TLKR-T80 Extreme are provided for the flashlight and volume control. In the first case, use the side button next to the rubberized insert, in the second, adjust the cylindrical corrugated element. Voice control implemented VOX function, which provides different settings for sensitivity. In particular, this option allows you to customize the signal transmission.
Functionality of the radio module
The list of main functions includes channel scan, activation of silent mode, sound surveillance, screen lock and backlight. At the same time, the device stands out for the ability to simultaneously monitor several channels at once. The device's ability to listen indoors is also noteworthy. In this mode, Motorola TLKR-T80 Extreme captures and transmits all the noises and voices in the observed object to the receiver, previously linked to the radio by one channel. It is in this format that the device can work as a baby monitor. But it is important to take into account that after each minute of listening, the device makes a 5-second pause, after which it resumes operation in the specified mode. TO additional functions should include the presence of an LED flashlight and a timer. During the operation of the latter, the user can receive and transmit a signal with basic parameters.
Service instructions
The radio module is unpretentious in its maintenance, but the owner must nevertheless regularly observe some of the measures for its maintenance. This primarily concerns battery charging. The battery indicator can be monitored through the Motorola TLKR-T80 Extreme display. The instruction recommends charging for 14 hours. All manipulations with the battery should be done only after turning off the radio. You should also keep the body of the unit clean, as excessive dirt will cause interference. Although the coatings of the structure have a sufficiently high degree of protection, in order to extend the life of the model, it is advisable to timely clean the outer surfaces of the walkie-talkie. This is especially true for areas with connectors - they are protected by special plugs, but in close contact with water, you should take care of their additional safety.
User manual
To ensure communication with other radios, you should first transfer the device to a single channel with them. If there is strong interference during normal operation, scan or monitor should be performed. In the first case, the device will allow you to find a free frequency, and in the second - to perform general listening. After finding a suitable channel, you can start a conversation through the Motorola TLKR-T80 Extreme module. The instruction notes that in order to maintain the stability of the transmission of voice data, the area with the microphone should be kept at a distance of 5-8 cm from the mouth. As in the case of the listening mode, during the conversation, the signal will stop every 60 seconds. To secure communications, the user can configure the machine to use an ID. It will also be received by all members of the organized radio network - the corresponding icon will be displayed on the devices' displays.
Connection quality
The 10 km radius of coverage declared by the manufacturer, of course, gives great hopes for the operational capabilities of the device. However, the practice of use demonstrates somewhat different indicators in an adjusted form. So, in urban conditions, you can count on a confident reception within 6 km, but in a forest, this figure increases to 8 km. As for the full-fledged reception, it works only in open areas, but the very purpose of Motorola TLKR-T80 Extreme Quad is not oriented towards operation in such conditions. One way or another, the quality of communication itself remains fairly high level... Noise cancellation systems ensure a clear signal transmission without serious interference. And this despite the fact that as many as 8 channels are provided for the walkie-talkie. In standard radio modules, you will not surprise anyone with this today, but modifications for extreme use are rarely pampered with such functionality, coupled with decent technical characteristics.
Positive feedback on the model
Many users note that the device is convenient in use, reliably holds the signal and, in general, copes with loads in different conditions of use. Separately, the owners praise the battery, which not only withstands the prescribed charge, but also does not lose its qualities during long-term operation. In terms of communication range, we also have positive impressions from Motorola TLKR-T80 Extreme. Reviews of some owners of the walkie-talkie indicate that even in the forest, under certain conditions, reception at a distance of 12 km is possible. Another thing is that the landscape and favorable weather could contribute to this. Attention is paid to the reviews and the protective qualities of the device. The case reliably protects the filling from moisture, which allows the model to be used in the rain. The cost of the walkie-talkie should also be included in the list of pluses. The device costs 6-7 thousand rubles. on Russian market, which cannot be called a competitive price at all. Budget walkie-talkies of this type can be purchased at half the price. However, this option is good because it will last much longer, despite the harsh conditions of use.
Negative reviews
There are many criticisms that mention the absence of metal elements that could increase the durability of the walkie-talkie. In particular, many competitors are actively using steel clips in their designs and in the same way they design the sections of the fastening nests. However, even in its current form, the model does not cause any particular complaints about the strength of these places. Otherwise, there is no criticism on the materials, but there are complaints about the assembly of the Motorola TLKR-T80 Extreme Quad. Reviews indicate that backlash is observed in some places where the plastic is attached. The disadvantage in the form of a weak sound is also emphasized, which even the maximum setting of the regulator does not help to get rid of. But this is more likely due to external interference - for example, in a strong wind, audibility disappears altogether.
Conclusion
As a practical means of communication for field conditions, this option can be viewed as optimal solution... Although the model has incorporated a lot of functional details, its main advantages lie in its basic qualities. Among them are confident reception, strength and endurance. Nevertheless, for the role of a universal apparatus walkie talkie Motorola TLKR-T80 Extreme Quad is unlikely to fit, because in other operating conditions, characteristics that this model does not have may come to the fore. In this context, it is worth noting a rather modest and not always convenient menu. It is clear that the interface is designed in the general style of a utilitarian and reliable device, but this nuance also limits other possibilities of using the walkie-talkie. But again, if you buy an apparatus for use on expeditions, hikes and picnics in a forest area, then such shortcomings recede into the background.
