KST AT100/AT101 similar with MOTOROLA Talkabout T800 Two-Way Radios

Talkabout T800 Two-Way Radios builds off its ease of connectivity and convenient systems to be one of the best available. An LED clearly shows the availability, and connectivity for Bluetooth. It’s not quite a conventional screen, but I do enjoy the interesting look that calls the “hidden display”.

Once you connect your smartphone via Bluetooth, the T800 transforms into a modem. It can be used to send messages, location, and some other data over radio frequencies to other T800 users. Basically, with Bluetooth in play, you can go beyond push to talk and enjoy more features with off-grid groups.

As for conventional walkie talkie stuff, the T800 can communicate via voice as far as 35 miles, and 20 miles for data. The radio keeps track of 11 weather channels including 7 NOAA channels and will sound a weather alert if necessary.

Ease Of Pairing

Being able to easily pair your device with a Bluetooth headset has to be a critical factor. Jumping through hoops just to get an accessory working is no fun, and is better left off the bucket list! 

Displays Are Better

A walkie talkie with a display can give clear indications for connecting and pairing with a Bluetooth device. It’s way better than staring at a tiny LED waiting for it to change color, or a weird, disembodied voice announcing its willingness to connect. Bluetooth walkie talkies, as with regular walkie talkies, are just more convenient over a screen where you can see Bluetooth headset walkie talkie mode.

Final Thought On Bluetooth And Walkie Talkies

Finding the best Bluetooth walkie talkie can be a tough job. It’s a rare combination, and often unnecessary. Keep in mind, that the range most companies claim is useful only under specific circumstances. In most cases, the actual range will be substantially lower.
