Motorola TALKABOUT T470 FRS Two-Way Radio — 2-Pack
Official replacement for the discontinued T478. IPX4 weatherproof, 35-mile range, NOAA weather alerts, and iVOX emergency button. License-free FRS operation.
The Motorola TALKABOUT T470 is the official successor to the discontinued TALKABOUT T478, engineered for outdoor adventures and emergency preparedness. Its ruggedized IPX4 weatherproof housing protects against splashing water, rain, and snow, making it a reliable companion for hikers, skiers, campers, and off-roaders where cellular coverage is unavailable. A dedicated emergency button triggers a loud alarm and hands-free iVOX transmission to signal for help, while NOAA weather channels provide real-time alerts for incoming storms. The intuitive hidden LED display only illuminates during use, keeping essential channel and battery information visible without unnecessary power draw.
