TWO WAY RADIOS
-- The range that a two way radio advertises is the range that the radio should
get in "ideal" conditions. Ideal conditions are line of sight, such as from a
mountaintop to a valley below -- no interference at all. Most likely, you will not be
using the two way radio in these circumstances! You will probably want two-way radios for
things such as hunting, skiing, malls, car trips or vacations. Under these normal
conditions, the range of the radio will be limited because of obstructions, such as trees,
hills, or buildings. These obstructions block the signal and dramatically reduce the range
of a two way radio. So what type of range can you expect from your two way radio? Usually
half a mile up to two miles, depending upon your terrain and the power of your two way
radio. In the same environment, a 2 watt radio with a long antenna would provide
considerably more range than a half watt radio with a short antenna. When choosing a two
way radio, it is very important to consider both the amount of range that you need and the
environment in which you will be using the radios. Naturally, you wouldn't have as many
obstructions in a football stadium as being in the middle of a heavily wooded area. For
use in a stadium you would likely be fine with a small, one watt radio. In a wooded area,
however, that same radio may not provide sufficient range. These are things that you need
to take into consideration when choosing which two-way radio is right for you.
