The Talkabout is made of a thick high impact plastic. It feels very sturdy. I wouldn't be afraid to drop one of these radios for fear of breaking it. This250 is yellow.  


The front of the unit has a large volume dial that is easy turn with the pad of your thumb. Next to this dial is a small LCD screen that displays your battery power status, channel and code. The display is easy to read and can be backlight when needed. Next to the display are 2 rubber up/down buttons. These buttons let you cycle thru the channels or codes. The buttons are small but are easy to press. The power button is next and is small and red. Press it once and the unit powers up. Press and hold it, and the unit turns off. The talk button is a large button in the middle of the unit. It is easy to find and press. 

There are 4 other buttons on the front that allow you to scan, lock and monitor the channels. The antenna is short and flexible. A belt clip comes with the unit that you can attach to the back. One the left side of the unit is an audio accessory connector so you plug in an earbud receiver, earbud with push-to-talk mic, flexear receiver, or remote speaker mic. The built-in voice activation feature willlet you use the earbud with in-line mic or headset totally hands-free talk.

The Talkabout 250really works great. It has a nice loud speaker that is clear and easy to hear.When you're not talking, the speaker is quiet. You don't hear that annoying white noise sound. The radio is also easy to use. These radios are great for using in the woods, in the mall, a work sites etc.  There are fourteen,(no-licensed required) Family Radio Service (FRS) channels and built-in codes that block out unwanted chatter. You can use channel scan to monitor all fourteen channels and keep in touch with more than one group.
