Frequently Asked Questions
When are two-way radios more effective than phones or satellite devices?
Two-way radios are ideal for instant, hands-free communication in real-time, without the need for cellular or satellite coverage. They’re heavily used in construction, event management, security, emergency response, and industrial operations, especially in environments where speed and simplicity matter.
What’s the typical range of a two-way radio?
Radio range varies depending on frequency, environment, and power. In open outdoor conditions, you may get 1–30 miles. In urban or dense environments, range may be shorter. Higher-end commercial units, repeaters, or satellite-enabled radios can extend range significantly.
Do I need a license to use two-way radios in the U.S.?
Some radios operate on license-free frequencies (FRS), but many business-class radios require an FCC license (GMRS or LMR). OSAT offers both licensed and unlicensed models, and we’re happy to guide you on what fits your use case best.
Can two-way radios be used across different brands or models?
Yes, as long as they operate on the same frequency band and privacy codes are set correctly. For teams using mixed devices, OSAT can ensure full compatibility.
Are rugged or waterproof models available?
Absolutely. Many radios are built to military or IP-rated standards, making them resistant to dust, water, drops, and extreme temperatures, ideal for field work or tough environments.
