Would you prefer to spend $100 every few weeks replacing ten busted radios, or a few hundred more for a fleet of radios that will potentially last much, much longer? What makes more sense for your ROI? If you just want cheap radios due to the high cost of breakage, $10 adds up fast. No, they are not $10 radios, but there is one more thing to consider. These can even take a dunk in the dishwasher (without the earpieces)Ĭobra ACXT1035R FLT Waterproof Walkie Talkie Six Pack + Chargers + Surveillance EarpiecesĭeWALT DXFRS300 Six Pack Bundle (6 Radios + Multi-Charger)ĭeWALT DXFRS800 Six Pack Bundle (6 Radios + Multi-Charger)Īll of these are FRS and are legal for use by consumers or businesses in the US. Rugged, business class radios are now available for FRS in multi-lacks and fleet bundles designed specifically for business use, so this would be a logical choice for your operation. Plus, FRS is a “license-free” service in the US, so it should not be an issue. Even at 1 watt, you should be able to get decent coverage in an open area. Now that FRS is capable of operating at up to 2 watts, you should have no problem covering a 200x200 ft area (40,000 square feet). Is this indoors or outdoors? If indoors, is it mostly in one open area? If so, you may be fine with using higher power FRS radios. And if you are using illegal radios and/or illegal frequencies, you should stop this practice immediately before something happens.

I also need to point out that if an accident happens at your trampoline park, and response is delayed in any way because of your lack of radio communication, this will come out in subsequent law suits. Yes, there are some good quality FRS and GMRS radios that will meet your needs, but not at that price. So, the short answer is that no one can help you unless they know what frequencies you are using and if you are a licenced user of that frequency, or if you are using FRS frequencies. If you are using licence-free channels such as FRS or GMRS, you may need a licence for each user, depending on the power of the radio and the country you live in. regulators take a VERY dim view of this type of activity. If you are not the holder of a business licence with an assigned frequency, you are potentially transmitting on illegal channels, meaning you could be interfering with legally licenced users and maybe even interfering with public service radios. (If you are in the U.S., this is from the FCC. They are designed as an amateur radio and operate on Ham frequencies.Īs for programming any subsequent radios, you simply find the frequency you are assigned on your business licence. Those radios are neither legal nor suitable for your use. Just to add to the great advice from Rick, you get what you pay for.

If cost is a major consideration, there are also legal, license free options available to small businesses at a very reasonable cost, such as FRS radios for onsite businesses and MURS radios. Another option would be Kenwood factory refurbished business radios. There are many bulk radio packages available from major, name brand manufacturers of quality business two way radios. Also, many of those extremely low priced radios are not FCC type accepted for legal use in the US, which can put you and your business at potential risk. The old adage that you get what you pay for is true in this case. As for the price, the typical business class radio from a reputable manufacturer has a median price point of around $150 to $280 depending on the type of radio, durability factor and feature set, so $130 is actually somewhat low end.Īlthough there are very low priced radios available online, My advice is to never buy a radio simply based on price, especially if you are using it for any business related operation. I am personally not familiar with Radio Boss, and a quick search on the web gives me warnings that the site is not secure, so I am hesitant to investigate that brand further. there are a lot of options available, but there is a premium for that durability. A two way radio is not a one-size-fits-all communications tool, so the more information we have about your operation, the better we can help.įor starters, if your staff is breaking or losing the radios frequently, it sounds like you need something that is fairly durable. Hi John, before I can answer your questions, I need a few specifics about the type of environment in which you and your staff use the radios and how you use them.
