What Are Two Way Radios?
2 way radios are used to communicate between two or more individuals using certain radio wave frequencies. Users can optimize work efficiency with quick bursts of back and forth communication. Unlike cell phones, two way radios will not have a waiting period to connect.
Handheld two way radios support crisp, clear audio with convenient button placements. Multiple radio channel options allow users to keep more than one line of simultaneously open communication. Their effective range varies between models, but most are able to transmit anywhere within a 30-mile radius.
Many two way radios can withstand severe weather patterns or come with NOAA weather scans to notify the user of incoming weather patterns. Most models use AAA batteries and offer the option for using a rechargeable battery to eliminate the need for battery replacements.
