Weather (T7200)

You can’t change the weather, but you can be prepared for it when you take

your Motorola Talkabout T7200 radio with you. That's because it tunes into

broadcasts by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio and Environment Canada Weatheradio.

You can listen to a Weather Channel or you can even set your radio to alert you to emergency weather broadcasts that interrupt routine broadcasts.

Both NOAA and Environment Canada have transmitters located throughout the United States and Canada, respectively. These transmitters broadcast watches, forecasts, and other information 24 hours a day.

Note: Service may not be available in all areas. Check with your local weather office for frequency and details, or visit www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr, (Canada: www.msc-smc.ec.gc.ca/cd/factsheets/wxradio). The use of the NOAA logo does not provide an endorsement or implied endorsement by NOAA's National Weather Service nor does the use of the Weatheradio logo provide an endorsement or implied endorsement by Environment Canada.

Whenever you listen to a Weather Channel, you cannot use your radio for two-way communications. However, a weather alert will notify you while the radio is in two- way mode (if you have enabled weather alert) and the radio is On but not transmitting or receiving.

Turning On Weather Channel Reception

Launched in the early 2000s, the T7200 embodies a combination of functionality, ease of use, and reliability, making it a popular choice for outdoor enthusiasts and work environments alike.

One of the standout features of the Motorola T7200 is its impressive range. With the ability to communicate over distances of several miles in open areas, this device is suitable for events such as hiking, camping, and security operations.

Another notable characteristic is the T7200's durability. Built to withstand the rigors of outdoor use, it is designed with a rugged exterior that can resist shocks, dust, and moisture. This makes it an ideal choice for those who work in demanding conditions, such as construction sites or during emergency response situations.

Additionally, the Motorola T7200 is equipped with an easy-to-read LCD display that shows the selected channel and battery status, allowing users to monitor performance at a glance. The long-lasting battery life provides extended usage between charges, which is crucial during long excursions or shifts.

The device features a simple button layout, ensuring that even users who are not technically savvy can operate it without difficulty. The inclusion of features such as a power-saving mode further extends battery life, making the T7200 an efficient tool for extended use.

In summary, the Motorola T7200 is a reliable two-way radio known for its wide range, durable construction, and user-friendly features.
