Radios Help Provide Total Emergency Preparedness by Combining Reliable Two-Way Communication with Localized Weather and Emergency Alerts from the National Weather Service

Motorola introduced today the Motorola TALKABOUT T9580RSAME series of two-way radios — the industry’s first radios that combine dependable FRS/GMRS radio communication with Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) technology, helping to provide consumers with a unique, all-in-one emergency preparedness communication device.

SAME technology helps filter out distant warning broadcasts and monitors only programmed localized areas, helping to reduce the chance of false alarms . Leveraging this technology, the Motorola Talkabout T9580RSAME radios display a three letter code for the type of emergency, and a voice message plays when an alert is broadcast from the National Weather Service. The radios are the first in the industry to offer this service together with two- way communications functionality — making them ideally suited for a broad range of outdoor activities or travel in remote locations.
