The Rocky Talkie Mountain Radio is an award-winning, license-free communication tool built and tested in the rugged Colorado Rockies. Originally designed for climbers and skiers, this compact and durable radio is ideal for any backcountry adventure where reliable communication is essential.

Equipped with a specialized lithium-ion battery, it offers over 4 days of battery life—even in extreme cold down to -20°F. The shatterproof LED screen and rugged thermoplastic housing provide outstanding durability, while an ultra-light carabiner and backup leash ensure secure attachment to backpacks or harnesses—no fragile plastic clips here.

Transmitting at the maximum legal power for license-free use (2 watts), the Mountain Radio has a tested range of over 35 miles in ideal conditions, with a typical range of 1–5 miles in mountainous terrain. (Check out our range test video or blog post for real-world examples.)

Ready to use straight out of the box, the radio requires no setup. With just five intuitive buttons, it’s simple to operate but still supports key features like privacy codes to prevent outside interference. Built for the mountains—trusted everywhere.
