Motorola Talkabout SX700
These handy Motorola two-way radios (walkie talkies) allow you to stay connected to your travel companion with being attached at the hip. A great alternative to cell phones, especially for foreign travel because they work in places where most U.S.-based phones don’t. They’re also much more affordable. The SX700 is easy to carry, weighs five ounces, and has a range of 12 miles and offers 11 NOAA weather alert channels.
