Expedition Radio

Features

The Expedition Radio is Rocky Talkie's powerful 5-watt GMRS radio, featuring extended range, multi-day battery life, and full waterproof protection. Hand-tested to IP67 standards, the radio withstands one meter of submersion and features a water-shedding design for quick, clear communication—even in whitewater. This radio is fully compatible with Rocky Talkie's award-winning FRS Mountain Radio.

Built and tested in the Colorado Rockies, the Expedition Radio is constructed with a protective rubber padding and a shatterproof LED screen for enhanced durability. A specialized 1800 mAh battery delivers 4–6 days of use on a single charge, even in frigid conditions. With 5 watts of output—the highest allowed for handheld GMRS radios—it offers a max range of over 35 miles, with 2–8 miles more typical in backcountry terrain.

• Each radio comes ready to use with a compact 7.5 cm antenna installed, plus an included 17 cm antenna to moderately enhance range and weather channel reception. Additional features include dual-channel monitoring, access to NOAA weather alerts, and 8 GMRS repeater channels for extended transmission.

Attachment is simple with the integrated steel gator clip (360° rotation) and backup leash. For even more versatility, the Expedition Radio is compatible with the modular Carabiner Attachment, the Universal Mount system, and the high-performance Whip Antenna.

Purpose-built for adventure sports, the Expedition Radio keeps hunters, anglers, paddlers, overlanders, and backcountry athletes connected when it matters most.
