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.
