Leave it to Motorola to unleash yet another completely corny prefix to label its newest two-way radios. Yes, we wish we were kidding about the "TLKR" part, but sadly, it's very real. Nevertheless, the TLKR T3 touts eight channels, up to 20-hours of battery life, around five-kilometers of range, a sleep mode, channel scan / monitor, an LCD screen, and comes in blue, orange and red colors schemes. As for the T5, it boasts a six-kilometer range, a backlit LCD, handsfree functionality, five call tones, slightly worse battery life, and arrives in red, blue, or black. Currently, pricing details haven't been nailed down, but you can snap these up (if you can get over the name) next month.

Because you can never have precise enough location data when traipsing around the woods with the fam, Garmin has upgraded its Rino 520 and 530 GPS receivers / two-way radios with the highly-accurate SiRFStar III chip: meet the 520HCx and 530HCx. Like their predecessors, both models feature a 14-mile range (in an open field, we assume), built in basemap of the Americas, FRS and GMRS capability for chatting or transmitting coordinates between devices, and the rather impressive ability to hang out one meter underwater for up to 30 minutes without any ill effects. You also get a miniSD slot for loading additional urban and topographical maps, and if you step up to the 530HCx, a seven-channel weather receiver, electronic compass, and barometric altimeter. Look for these units to hit stores sometime next month, with $450 and $500 pricetags -- both of which are lower than the initial MSRPs of the earlier, less-precise Rinos.
