Rocky Talkie Expedition Radio

This Expedition Radio Kit includes two powerful 5-watt GMRS radios, designed for extended range, multi-day battery life, and full waterproof protection. Hand-tested to IP67 standards, the radios withstand 1 meter of submersion and feature a water-shedding design for quick, clear communication—even in whitewater. 

Built and tested in the Colorado Rockies, the Expedition Radio is ruggedly constructed with protective rubber padding and a shatterproof LED screen. A specialized 1800 mAh battery delivers 4–6 days of use on a single charge, even in frigid conditions. With 5 watts of output, the highest allowed for handheld GMRS radios, it offers a max range of over 35 miles, with 2–8 miles more typical in backcountry terrain. 

Each radio comes ready to use with a compact 7.5cm antenna installed, plus an included 17cm antenna to moderately boost range and weather channel reception. Additional features include dual-channel monitoring, access to NOAA weather alerts, and 8 GMRS repeater channels for extended transmission.

Attachment is simple with the integrated steel gator clip (360° rotation) and backup leash. For even more versatility, the Expedition Radio is compatible with modular Carabiner Attachment, the Universal Mount system, and the high-performance Whip Antenna.
