FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
Walkie-Talkie Terminology? Can you help?

What is a Channel? Do I need a multi-channel radio? - A multi-channel radio allows the user to store multiple frequency/code combinations on the radio which enables you to switch between workgroups with ease. Typically, a manager will use a multi-channel radio while the employees will use a single-channel radio.

How much wattage do I need? - Wattage is a major factor in achieving the range and coverage of a particular structure or region. The higher the wattage, the better the coverage and the crisper and clearer the communications will be.

Why are handheld two way radios limited to 6 miles coverage? - All handheld two way radios are limited by line-of-sight communications. 6 miles is a practical limit where beyond that, the curvature of the earth restricts the line-of-sight.

Do FRS/GMRS Walkie-Talkies really reach 12-18 miles?

The short answer is NO. Claims of FRS/GMRS walkie-talkies reaching 12 to 18 miles are based on optimum conditions. All handheld walkie-talkies are based on line-of-sight, therefore terrain and structures can greatly reduce range. For the most part, the range of a handheld walkie-talkie is about 1 mile.
