Communication is a vital component in sporting activities and especially so when partaking in water sports as being on the water can cause unpredictable emergencies. Two-way radios allow for easy focus on your activity whilst contacting your team members safely on the water.
How two-way radios assist you in water sports activities
When rowing, canoeing and kayaking, two-way radios are beneficial for the communication between players in strategy and rhythm. Efficient communication can prevent fouls and rushing, and encourage an accurate paddling rhythm.
Another challenge can be background noise in your environment, and it is essential you are heard on a boat over the loud noise of running water and the boat’s engine. Two-way radios transmit voice clearer and louder.
The British weather can be miserable at times, meaning you can certainly encounter rain when fishing. Therefore, a waterproof two-way radio with an IP67 rating is ideal for those wet, rainy days. The Motorola T92 H20 is perfect because of its waterproof design and can be used whether near fresh or salt water.
Important factors to consider:
- What if you are stranded in water and have no cellular signal to contact anyone?
- How do you alert your group of an emergency whilst in water?
- How do you communicate with your team who are on another boat, when gestures and shouting only go so far?
