The Motorola TLKR T92 H2O is a PMR446 two-way radio designed specifically for water-based and wet-environment use. The IP67 rating handles submersion to 1 metre for 30 minutes and continuous heavy rain — but the defining features that separate it from a standard waterproof radio are that it floats face-up if dropped overboard, the water-activated flashlight automatically activates on contact with water for immediate recovery visibility, and the dedicated emergency alert button transmits a siren followed by live audio to all radios in range when activated. Sold as a 2-pack with USB-C charging cables, NiMH rechargeable batteries, whistle belt clips, and a carry case.
-
IP67 waterproof — independently rated to withstand submersion to 1 metre depth for 30 minutes and continuous heavy rain exposure. A step above splash-resistant radios and appropriate for kayaking, sailing, paddleboarding, fishing, and marine environments.
-
Floats face-up with water-activated flashlight — if the radio enters the water, it floats with the face up and the water-activated flashlight automatically turns on, making it visible on the water surface for immediate retrieval. A practical engineering detail that matters when you're moving in rough water.
-
Emergency alert — a dedicated button transmits an emergency siren to all radios on the same channel, followed by live transmission of spoken or ambient sound from the activated radio. Paired with the included whistle belt clip for audible signalling if electronic transmission is not possible.
-
Dual LED flashlight — white and red — white LED for navigation and general use; red LED for map reading and low-visibility tasks without destroying night vision. Built into the unit rather than an accessory.
-
Two power options — runs on the included NiMH rechargeable batteries (up to 17 hours) or three standard AA alkaline batteries (up to 23 hours). AA compatibility is a practical benefit in remote locations where recharging is not possible. Charges via the two included USB-C cables.
-
iVOX/VOX hands-free — voice-activated transmission means the radio transmits automatically when you speak without pressing a button, functioning as a speakerphone for continuous hands-free communication while paddling, climbing, or driving.
-
16 channels and 121 privacy codes — 1,936 channel and code combinations for finding a clear communication channel. Privacy codes do not encrypt transmission but reduce interference from other users on the same physical channel.
-
PMR446 compliant — works with any PMR446 radio from any manufacturer on the same channel and code, not just other Motorola devices. No licence required to use PMR446 frequencies in Ireland and the EU.
-
Easy Pairing — programs all radios in the group to the same channel and code simultaneously rather than configuring each unit individually.
-
Vibrate alert, 20 call tones, channel scan, keypad lock — vibrate for silent environments; scan to identify active channels; keypad lock prevents accidental setting changes; 20 incoming call tones for group identification.
-
Up to 10km range in optimum conditions — PMR446 range is heavily affected by terrain, buildings, and vegetation. 10km is the open water or flat open terrain figure; expect significantly less in urban environments, dense woodland, and broken hill terrain. For most outdoor group coordination tasks, a reliable 1–3km range in varied terrain is a realistic working figure.
