Although two way radios are great products, they can be a large investment initially. Our Two-way radios are tough and durable, and with proper care and maintenance they can last you a very long time. To get the most out of your investment, use the tips we have listed below for extending the life of your two way radio!
Two-way radios are one of the most durable communication solutions. Extending the life of your two way radio and furthering your investment is easy if you take the steps to care for them properly. The better you care for your radio, the longer you will have reliable communications, and the larger you return on your investment will be.
One of the most commonly asked questions is, “which frequency is better for my workplace?” Two-way radios communicate over radio waves and have different frequency bands. UHF and VHF are the two most common.
In Canada, the UHF spectrum is 403 to 470 MHz. UHF is more suitable for indoor and outdoor use as the wavelengths are shorter and more likely to penetrate through obstacles such as steel, concrete, and trees. The higher the frequency, the better your signal will penetrate through structures. UHF frequencies also allow for a more compact radio, as a smaller antenna can be attached. If you would like coverage for both indoor and outdoor, UHF would be your best bet! Its flexibility and versatility makes it the most common frequency band used in many industries.
The VHF spectrum is 136 to 174 MHz in Canada. VHF is more suitable for long-distance outdoor use as the wavelengths are much longer. This means you are able to communicate further on flat ground provided there aren’t many obstacles. A longer antenna can also be attached to increase the range.
The areas you are trying to cover will determine which band suits your needs best. Make sure you consider where you would like coverage as each band has different uses for each environment.

These are some of the most commonly asked questions about two way radios. But the truth is, there is no definite answer when it comes to coverage and range.
Canada is a big and beautiful country; it has large cities with thousands of tall buildings, and open lands with forests and tundra. Obstacles such as tall buildings may obstruct the coverage of a radio and therefore interrupt it. So when it comes to the coverage of a two way radio, there is no exact measurement because different areas will have different obstacles.
Although we cannot predict exact coverage, the general rule for coverage is: the higher the wattage, the further the coverage. Radio with higher wattages are more powerful than those with a low wattage, and therefore are able to reach further.
