What to Look for When Buying a 2-Way Radio

  • Frequency Bands: Most radios are compatible with UHF (400-520MHz) or VHF (136-174MHz) for South African general communications. Always verify suitability for your application and ensure compliance with regulator guidelines.
  • Power Output: Typical ranges are 0.5W-5W for handhelds, up to 50W for mobile/base units. More power means greater range but may require a licensed frequency.
  • Battery Life: For field and event use, check battery milliamp-hour (mAh) ratings-2000mAh+ for full-shift coverage is typical.
  • Durability & Build: IP-rated/casing models are available for demanding industry and outdoor work.
  • Feature Set: Look for channel count, CTCSS/DCS privacy, scanning, and emergency alert features.

Essential Accessories

  • Spare batteries and desk chargers
  • Remote speaker mics and earpieces
  • Belt clips, soft and hard carry cases
  • Programming cables (for frequency/channel customisation)
Tip: For students and clubs, starter bundles and unlicensed models allow for immediate use without complex setup. Check local availability on Communica's Radio Communication collection.
