BUYER'S GUIDE
Top questions we get asked:
-
What's the range on these? Listen, it totally depends, especially on if there's a mountain in the way. Line of sight is most important, but know that these, like other radios operation on the maximum wattage allowed for 2-way radio (2 Watts), so sure, they can go 64km, sure, but only if there's nothing in the way. We recommend not comparing range if you're deciding which one to buy. They're all about the same.
-
Do these work with other radios? You bet - Mountain Lab, Motorola, whatever - just put them on the same channel.
-
Can I use these for the Forestry Roads? Nope, you need a pre-programmed radio to do that.
