There are situations when, in the absence of mobile operator coverage, you need to provide communication for a group of people: for example, while carrying out any work on a large area, while fishing, hunting, camping or relaxing in a ski resort. Walkie-talkies, which have a number of advantages over mobile phones, will help get out of this situation.
You do not pay for radio communication and talk until the batteries are exhausted. You can contact simultaneously with everyone who is on the specified channel and the specified frequency. A good walkie-talkie is practically not afraid of moisture, dust and falls. In addition, walkie-talkies communicate directly with each other and do not depend on the presence of operator base stations (as is the case with mobile phones).
Walkie-talkies are divided into two main classes: amateur and professional.
Amateur radios do not require permission to use and operate in specially designated frequency bands. All you need is to purchase the required number of devices and set them to the same channel. In most European countries, the amateur bands include CB, LPD and PMR, in the USA FRS is used.
In order to work with professional walkie-talkies, the user needs to obtain the appropriate certificate and register the device itself, and sometimes also a separate frequency for operation. This type mainly includes walkie-talkies of the VHF and UHF bands.
Note that the licensing conditions for even amateur walkie-talkies in different countries may vary and include not only the range, but also a number of other parameters. Therefore, before buying a device, in any case, it is worth clarifying the relevant points in the legislation. Some radio models have the ability to adjust the power from the minimum (allowed by default) to the maximum (requiring registration).
Another division of walkie-talkies goes according to the parameter “portable and stationary”. The first type are compact, self-powered devices that are easy to carry. The second is designed for installation in one place (in a car, on a ship, at a dispatch center) and is not designed for carrying at all.
When choosing a walkie-talkie, you need to focus on several basic characteristics. The first is the power and range of the radio: think about the maximum distance that those with whom you need to maintain radio contact can be. Second, the duration of the batteries or power supplies; here it should be borne in mind that in the characteristics of the walkie-talkies this parameter is prescribed for ideal conditions and in practice, most likely, it will be lower, and therefore it is worth taking the model “with a margin”. An important parameter when choosing is the strength of the material from which the body of the device is made: the service life of the device depends on whether it is plastic or whether it is a metal chassis. If you need an “all-weather” radio, you should clarify the degree of protection of the case from dust and moisture.
