Amazon.com Product Description

Keeping in touch with family and friends while enjoying outdoor activities, communicating between cars traveling in a group, or getting messages from base camp to summit is remarkably easy with the Motorola Spirit GT Plus ultra lightweight two-way radio. Operating on two channels at up to 4 miles outdoors and covering up to 200,000 square feet indoors, Motorola provides you with the means to take advantage of the new family radio service (FRS) band. It operates on UHF business frequencies, allowing you to communicate with separate groups on separate channels. The device is ideal for use when you're running errands and enjoying outdoor activities, and it lets you talk to anyone for free.

As with a party line, other FRS users can overhear your conversations while operating on the same combination of channel and privacy code, but the GT Plus's 38 privacy codes do help block out unwanted channel interference. Attractively finished in silver and sturdily designed to absorb minor impacts, the Motorola Spirit GT Plus also features four selectable alert signals to notify you of incoming calls, and advanced voice activation for hands-free operation. It's powered by a rechargeable NiMH battery that holds up to 9 hours of standby battery life between charges. A carry holster is also included.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT GMRS or FRS, December 26, 2001

By 

Chris (Tannersville, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Motorola Spirit GT Plus Professional 4-Mile 2-Channel FRS Two-Way Radio with Charger (Electronics)

This is a decieving radio. You need a business FCC license for it so you must apply for it and state your business need for these radio's. Its better to stick with GMRS or FRS unless you want to violate FCC R&R and use them for non-business use. There are FCC listeners everywhere that monitor the use of these frequencies and I have returned these radios and switched to GMRS. The claim that you have a 4 to 5 mile range is in perfect conditions, using these radios for the short time I had them gave me only minimal range increase from my FRS radios I've previously used. Range is dependent on the antennae and battery strength.

3.0 out of 5 stars GT Plus not as functional as T280, May 6, 2002

GT Plus does everything the T280 does, but it is much harder to switch frequencies & channels. The T280 is a much better product at a lower price.

1.0 out of 5 stars Business radios operate on overcrowded business frequencies, March 20, 2002

By

This review is from: Motorola Spirit GT Plus Professional 4-Mile 2-Channel FRS Two-Way Radio with Charger (Electronics)

On the jobsite or in the workplace, professional two-way radios
provide instant communication with individuals or multiple groups.

Business communications made simple! The Spirit GT+ radio
is ideally suited for retail stores, restaurants, schools,
hospitals, event coordination, small businesses and more.

Special "wait-to-talk" feature requires that you wait for
all the other conversations from the other companies that
share your frequency to stop transmitting so you can talk.

Spirit® Professional two-way radios operate on business
radio frequencies, (not FRS) which adds to congestion on
the already overcrowded business radio service.
Not recommended for personal use.

Two channel operation allows twice as many users to
share the same frequencies with you and requires frequency
coordination with other companies in your area.

"Up to 4 mile range" means that you will recieve interference
and unwanted chatter from everybody else within a 4 mile radius.

Regardless of which 2 of the 8 frequencies you choose,
there will always be somebody telling you to "get off my channel!".

When you ask that person for their license information,
they will explain that "I don't need a license!".
When you explain the rules to them, they will argue
"your rules Do NOT apply to me!", then they will
start jammming you.

Here is a list of low power itinerant business radio frequencies:

1 464.5000 Brown
2 464.5500 Yellow
3 467.7625 J
4 467.8125 K
5 467.8500 Silver Star
6 467.8750 Gold Star
7 467.9000 Red Star
8 467.9250 Blue Star

Spirit® Professional two-way radios operate on
radio frequencies that are regulated by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). In order to transmit
on these frequencies, you are required to have a license
issued by the FCC....
