Frequently Asked Questions
- Are two-way radios the same as walkie talkies?
No, the term "walkie-talkies" commonly refers to simpler devices often used as toys. In contrast, the two-way radios we provide are professional-grade tools designed for business use. They offer enhanced features, greater durability, and are not typically sold in pairs like their consumer-grade counterparts.
- What is the difference between UHF and VHF?
UHF (Ultra High Frequency) and VHF (Very High Frequency) radios differ mainly in frequency ranges, with UHF radios operating between 400 MHz to 512 MHz and VHF radios between 136 MHz to 174 MHz. UHF radios are better suited for indoor environments as they can penetrate through steel and concrete more effectively. VHF radios, however, are ideal for outdoor use, especially in open or rural areas with few obstacles, as they cover longer distances with less power.
- What does "Intrinsically Safe" (IS) mean?
"Intrinsically Safe" refers to equipment that is designed to operate safely in potentially explosive environments by not releasing sufficient energy to cause ignition of flammable gases or dust. These devices are engineered so that the device's electrical and thermal energy levels are low enough to prevent sparks or high temperatures that could ignite hazardous atmospheres. Intrinsically Safe radios are essential for industries such as oil and gas, mining, and chemical manufacturing where explosive conditions may exist.
