UHF radios (roughly 400–520 MHz) work best indoors and in buildings, warehouses, schools, hospitals, and city environments because the signal passes through walls and obstacles better. VHF radios (136–174 MHz) perform best outdoors over open land, such as farms, construction sites, and rural areas. If you're unsure which you need, our specialists can help you choose.

Analog radios are simple, affordable, and compatible with most older radios. Digital DMR radios, like the Motorola MOTOTRBO, Hytera BD series, and Kenwood NX series, offer clearer audio, longer battery life, better range at the edge of coverage, and features like text messaging and privacy. Many models are dual-mode, so they work with both analog and digital radios during an upgrade.

It depends on your environment and team size. Popular choices include the Motorola Curve for retail and hospitality, the Motorola CP100d and MOTOTRBO R2 for professional use, the Kenwood ProTalk series for light-duty business, and the Hytera BD series for affordable digital communication.

Handheld (portable) radios are battery-powered and carried on a belt or in a pocket. Mobile radios are installed in vehicles, run on 12-volt power, and typically offer higher power (25–50 watts) and longer range. Many fleets use both together.

A repeater receives a radio signal and rebroadcasts it at higher power from a better location, greatly extending your coverage range. You may need one if your team works across a large campus, multi-story building, or wide outdoor area. We carry repeaters from Motorola, Kenwood, Hytera, and Ritron.

Range depends on power output, frequency, antenna, and terrain. A typical handheld business radio covers from about 1 mile to several miles, while mobile radios and repeaters can extend coverage much further. Buildings, hills, and trees reduce range, and upgrading your antenna often improves it.

CB radios operate on 40 license-free channels around 27 MHz and are popular with truckers and off-roaders. 10-meter radios, such as the Stryker SR series, operate on the amateur 28–29.7 MHz band and require an amateur (ham) radio license to transmit legally.

Most business radios operating on UHF or VHF business frequencies require an FCC license in the United States. License-free options include FRS radios and CB radios. Deputy Electronics offers FCC licensing assistance to help your business get licensed and compliant.
