Talk Around
Note: This feature may not be offered by your
service provider.
With Talk Around, you can make and receive
Two-Way Radio calls without network
coverage. If you are travelling outside your
service provider's coverage area, receiving a
poor signal, or otherwise want to temporarily
avoid using your service provider's network,
you can switch to Talk Around and talk with
anyone on your code and channel who is
within range.
Note: Range will vary based on terrain,
man-made structures and atmospheric
conditions.
Talk Around lets you:
• Use code or private mode operation
• Use up to 10 channels
• Communicate with standalone Talk
Around radios
Note: You cannot use Talk Around with older
Family Radio Services products.
