Outdoor activities create a great opportunity to bond with family and friends whilst keeping fit. They are also ideal if you want to spend some time alone exercising and connecting with the outside world.

However, there are some important factors to consider when planning your outdoor exercise:

• What if a problem occurs during your hike?
• What if someone becomes injured during your mountain biking trip?
• Or what if a family member strays from the trail whilst skiing?

Two-way radios have the potential to solve your safety concerns by keeping you connected with friends and family during your time outdoors.

Strong Coverage:

Loss of phone signal could cause problems during outdoor activities. If an injury occurs, how would you alert anyone if your mobile phone doesn’t have signal? Unlike mobile phones, two-way radios provide consistent reception even in areas with little to no mobile service.

Large Range:

You can use many of our radios to communicate at a reasonable distance as they allow you to cover a large range. This gives you the flexibility to be independent and follow your own trail whilst also keeping in touch with your group.

Refer to the key features of each radio below for additional information.

Battery Life:

Our two-way radios have a long battery life, for example, the Motorola T82 allows up to 18 hours of standard use meaning you can use your radio without worrying about your battery running out of charge. They also have a battery life indicator to inform you of how much battery is left on your radio to prevent your radio from running out of charge at an inconvenient time.

Still concerned?

Did you know that each radio comes with a USB charging cable which can connect to a power pack for even more peace of mind?
