Nowadays, two ways radios are easily accessible even to the general public and more and more people have gone in for them. It is a well-known fact that there are UHF and VHF two way radios. Some customers always ask me which one they should use. Of course, it depends on where you're planning to use the walkie talkies. It is also important to know some differences because UHF radios won't talk to VHF radios and vice versa. Below are some related introductions.
UHF stands for Ultra High Frequency. UHF is ideal for customers looking to use their two way radios indoors most of the time. UHF does a better job of penetrating through obstructions like concrete and steel. I recommend UHF technology any time someone has a jobsite where they work both indoors and outdoors. Target, American Eagle Outfitters, and Olive Garden Restaurants all use UHF two way radios.
VHF stands for Very High Frequencies. VHF works best for customers who primarily use their two way radios outdoors. The VHF signal will travel further outdoors but will not provide the best audio quality indoors. Walmart is a large user of VHF two way radios and does so because they have been purchasing two way radios since only VHF radios were available for sale. Surveyors and Landscaping crews are the most common users of VHF technology.
Both UHF and VHF handle held two way radios have a range of 1-2 miles outdoors without the use of a Repeater. Repeaters can extend the range across a city or even a state with the right budget. The range of your two way radios will vary based on the terrain, the number of obstacles, and the wattage of the two way radio. Handheld two way radios can only be 5 watts of power or lower.
At last, if you are not always outdoors, UHF two way radios will be recommended. A growing number of people agree that portable, handheld two way radios with UHF technology have some benefits over VHF. Nevertheless,similar to any other technology,both UHF and VHF have advantages and disadvantages. Whether you choose to use UHF or VHF at your workplace, two way radios are a cost effective way to improve safety and productivity.
