FAQ
Range is determined by the power output (0.5 watts for unlicensed, 4 watts for licensed) and the environment. All unlicensed radios have the same range, and all licensed radios have the same range. Buildings, woodland, and other obstacles can limit range.
Licensed radios require an OFCOM-issued license in the UK. There are two types: a simple UK license (for nationwide use) and a technically assigned license (for site-specific use). License-free radios do not require a license as they use frequencies designated by OFCOM for general use.
An IP rating classifies a radio's dust and water resistance. The first digit (0-6) indicates dust resistance, and the second digit (0-9) indicates water resistance. For example, IP67 means fully dustproof and waterproof for up to 30 minutes in 1 meter of water.
VHF radios have a longer wavelength and travel further but do not penetrate structures well, making them better for outdoor use. UHF radios have a shorter wavelength, penetrate buildings better, and are ideal for indoor or built-up areas.
ATEX radios are designed for hazardous environments where safety is critical, such as oil and gas rigs. They are built to minimize the risk of sparks, ensuring safe operation in explosive or flammable conditions.
If you have coverage issues, you can use a repeater to boost the signal. Test by placing a radio near a power supply in a central location and checking if you can reach black spots. If issues persist, consider using two repeaters with an IP Connect system or long-range radios like the Pronto Express, which use the 3G network.
Digital radios offer clearer sound quality, less interference, and additional features like text messaging, group or individual calling, and alarm systems. They are more versatile and feature-rich compared to analogue radios.
