Make your Farm more Efficient with Two-way Radios

The days are long, the work is tough, can we make it a little easier?

What's more frustrating than being tired and trying to pass information without ease? A walkie talkie can relieve that pain in an instant without you even having to move from your vehicle.  Whether you're enabling group communication from the combine to the corn carters, or organising that all important bailing, loading and storage… completed, with ease.  Not just for arable farming, lambing, herding and other animal operations radios have found a home on the farm too.

From lining up a cart to a combine or potato harvester PMR446 radios are great.  An entry level radio their range is limited to line of sight. Superb for close work but if you're working further afield maybe not quite right for you.  

Buying an Ofcom license allowing your radios to transmit and receive further is a fantastic place to start. There are two types of frequency we can licence; VHF or UHF. Both are great but if you're really going for distance a VHF radio will transmit and receive further, especially across large, outdoor open landscapes such as a field. But don’t let that deter you too much from a UHF radio; they work very well and are very scalable with some amazing deals to be had. 

What we do know is your two-way radio needs to be: 

• Robust
• Effective
• And not break the bank
