Motorola Radio Options

The Motorola CLS - 1110 is a fine handheld radio. It has decent range and can be programmed so as not to interfere with other radio frequencies. More than the radio, however, I was totally sold on the customer service I got from B&H. It was as good as I could have imagined leaving no room to ask for more. Thanks-

The CLS-1110 2-way radio by Motorola is small, lightweight and easily accessible for my assisted living staff. If only there was a way to eliminate the protruding antenna (can easily get in the way), this would be the world's most perfect unit!

As a Dyrt Ranger I get the opportunity to review outdoor gear. On this trip I took along my recently received Midland X-TALKER T75VP3 hand held radio’s. As soon as I took the radio’s out of their display box I could tell these weren’t anything like my childhood Walkie talkies. Camouflaged, compact and very sturdy feeling. They fit nicely in your hand. These radio’s come with rechargeable batteries. You can also use regular batteries if need be. The base that comes with the radio has the options of using alternate charging platforms in addition to plugging it into the wall. There are A LOT of instructions;) few important points are you have to be registered to use certain frequencies and there is a weather channel options BUT I will have to figure that one out when I have more time as right now it’s Greek to me.... Then we took our radio’s out to play. There was the obligatory “can you hear me now” as we stood five feet apart. Next on the East Overlook we split up and I was extremely surprised at the sound quality . Once again I was expecting the childhood Walkie talkie experience. However these radio’s sound awesome. On another trail, with trees , small hills and distance in between the sound and reception was just as good. I would suggest using something in addition to the belt clip included. It is sturdy but not extremely secure and I worried about loosing the radio when I hooked it to my belt. Overall I am loving this little radio, I will review it again when I have had a chance to use it in more adverse and different situations.

I love the size and simplicity of this clock radio. I also love the options of waking to sounds instead of alarm or radio. The sounds are loud enough but not jarring, and they're easily turned off by the button on top. I thought I would use the projection feature more than I do, but it's nice to have. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

The connectivity options for this are everything I needed. Bluetooth pairing is incredibly easy and now I can move the turntable to wherever people are, spin up some old vinyl just for fun and listen through my Sangean BT radio. Or I can move same radio from room to room, which makes kitchen work more enjoyable. Or, I can connect it easily to my old school preamp and stereo using the phono level output for more serious listening. Haven't tried the usb output to record as MP3s in my laptop, but I'm looking forward to getting some hard to find tunes from my record collection onto my phone.More ways and places to listen to music that I've collected several decades ago.

From remote triggers, to speedlights, to LED lights of all kinds, to my ham radio gear - I've tried to build as much of my systems around Eneloops where I can, because they work so well. I've been using them for 7 years or so - always the white ones, no real need to go to the higher capacity versions - and I can't begin to calculate how much waste they've saved in batteries I haven't had to buy in that timeframe. I wish Panasonic would have more options for charging 8+ cells at once, but there are aftermarket options for that, or you can do what I do and just dedicate a wall-mounted power strip for Eneloop chargers.

I have had several Moto phones throughout the years and Motorola has never disapointed.

I am pleased with the slimmer size and switching from old Motorola to new was a breeze.

I have been using Motorola Phones for years but so far, this is the best one yet! I love the battery life more than anything.

Great little radios, so far. Good range relative to similar Motorola Talkabouts.
