The most common portable radios will
either be in the VHF (Very High Frequency, or about 150
Megahertz) band, or in the UHF (Ultra High Frequency, or about
450 Megahertz) band.
Because of the different characteristics of
the frequencies, VHF radios generally are an appropriate choice
for outdoor applications such as campgrounds or tree farms and
golf courses and surveyors; situations where there are a minimum
of line-of-site obstruction and those obstructions aren't
"radio-wave-dense".
UHF radios generally are best for
indoor/commercial/multi-building/multi-floor applications like
hotels, industrial buildings or multi-building campuses.
When there are few obstacles, either band may
work equally well.
Consider your other requirements: Who will use
the radios? If it’s a construction worker, it will be wise to
consider something more durable, that can handle some daily hard
use. If the radio is to be used indoors in a light environment,
an elementary school for example, a lower-cost model is fine.
For a retail employee, a small, lightweight model is just the
ticket.
Sometimes it is cost-efficient to mix radio
models, even models from different manufacturers, together. For
example, if you operate a restaurant and have managers and
hostesses as well as parking attendants, the indoor users could
have something small and light while the outside users could
have something more weather resistant in case they get caught in
a rainstorm.
As long as frequencies &
codes are identical values, everyone can talk together.
You may have
$1000-radios but you might only be using the first $200 of
them!! When can help you deploy more radios at a much
lower cost.
Not every radio we
have available is on 2wayradioplus-site. We can consider
most any application and then select the appropriate radio,
program it and ship it out at considerable savings to you.
