With a range of up to 28 miles, the Motorola Talkabout T9680RSAME is a hazard alert weather radio that combines local area emergency alerts with the power of 2-way communication. The Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) technology allows you to filter out unnecessary distant weather and non-weather broadcasts and, instead, monitors only your local area! The T9680RSAME radio displays a three letter code for the type of emergency, and a voice message plays when an alert is broadcast.
