Bloggy Giveaway - WIN Motorola TALKABOUT® MR350R Radios

The Perfect Father’s Day Gift for Adventurous Dads as seen on 24/7 MOMS Live Web Cast

Does your Husband love to camp, hunt, hike, show ski, snowboard or participate in other outdoor activities? Then this just might be the BEST Fathers day gift yet. These are a MUST have for the adventurous Dad.

Dad will appreciate how the Motorola MR350R two-way radios keep the family in contact while helping prepare for unforeseen situations at the family cabin or on the road in the RV. The emergency alert feature allows dad to enjoy his escape to the great outdoors with confidence that others can be informed of any dangers that may come along. When the alert button is activated, the radio transmits an alert siren followed by transmission of spoken or incidental sounds, allowing the signal to be sent to other radios and warn of impending danger. The MR350R also features a built-in LED flashlight for peace-of-mind during evening adventures outdoors or unexpected emergencies and power outages at home.

Whether in the back yard or the backwoods campsite, the MR350R can alert the family to severe weather from one of seven National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and four Environment Canada (EC) weather channels.2 The continuous broadcasts of local and regional weather updates let dad prepare for any weather while fishing at the lake or during summer storms at home. When he’s skiing or engaged in other winter sports, dad will be grateful for the extra large buttons that make radio operation easy even with gloves on.

Convenient and Reliable Two-Way Communications On-the-Go

Dad can easily reach far-flung family members on the soccer fields or in a national park with Motorola’s Push-to-Talk Power Boost (PTT). When activated this feature allows him to extend the transmission range by increasing the transmitter power output while saving battery life when no power boost is necessary. With 22 channels, each with 121 privacy codes, he also has 2,662 combinations of communication to choose from. Plus, the Motorola exclusive QT (Quiet Talk) function eliminates interference from other manufacturers, which provides more clear channels.

Communication is made even simpler with the iVOX hands-free feature. Much like using a speakerphone, dad need not stop what he’s doing to talk. He can flip hamburgers on grill or take a fresh caught fish off the hook while answering a call. And, he won’t miss a signal when ambient noise such as cheering at the little league game would drown out the ringtone by using the VibraCall™ silent vibrating ringer. This feature is also useful for locations where ringing would be intrusive, like when he is out on the golf course.

Four different charging methods make staying connected a breeze. A desktop charger is provided for use at home or use a mini-USB car cable on your road trip to the trailhead. Dad can even charge his radio from a PC when no power outlet is available. Of course, 3 double-A batteries work just fine for a quick recharge when he’s out in the wilderness and no electrical power is available.
