Do you remember the toy walkie talkies that you had as a kid, this radio is nothing like that.  The TalkAbout 250 is a high quality 2 way radio made by Motorola.  This radio has the look of a toy, especially the yellow model, but once you try it out, you will quickly realize that it is no toy.  All of the TalkAbout models operate on the FRS - Family Radio Service  frequency which has about a 2 mile range, and works well inside and outside  of buildings as well as inside of vehicles.
