The Rocky Talkie Mountain Radio is an award-winning, license-free radio, designed and tested in the Colorado Rockies. Built with climbers and skiers in mind, this compact and durable radio is ready for any adventure where communication is critical.
A specialized lithium-ion battery delivers 3–5 days of life, even in extreme cold. For durability, the radio features a shatterproof LED screen, a tough thermoplastic covering, and a secure carabiner + back-up leash system—far stronger than fragile plastic clips found on other brands of radios.
The Mountain Radio transmits at the maximum power allowed without a license (2 watts), with a tested max range of 35+ miles—though 1–5 miles is typical in backcountry terrain. For more info on range, please see our range testing video or blog post.
Simple and reliable, the Mountain Radio works right out of the box with zero setup required. Its five intuitive buttons and quick privacy code access make communication effortless and interference-free.
The Mountain Radio is compatible with Rocky Talkie's Waterproof Hand Mic for convenient and accessible communication in any environment.
Like all Rocky Talkie products, the Mountain Radio is backed by our commitment to sustainability and 3 year warranty for personal use, and 1 year warranty for commercial use.
