Gone are the days when using two way radios were meant exclusively for the police and military personnel. Breaking the shackle from being the special privilege of the police and the defence forces, they are now within the reach of common man. Be it a family shopping in a mall together or two friends enjoying exciting a road trip separately, these radios provide them with wireless connectivity and help them trace out each other.

Two way radios are simple ways of staying connected wirelessly. Though they cover only a limited area, the cost-effective quality of the radios keeps them far above the other means of communication. The best thing about the radios is that there is no per minute call charge. This means that you will not need to pay any network provider for the time you talk on the radio. Once you a buy a set, it will keep on giving you service.

Another benefit of two way radios is that they are very easy to use. Generally, they come with a ‘push to talk button’. In order to initiate a talk, you can simply press on that button and you will be through the line. Because of this user-friendly nature, the radios are particularly popular among kids. Those parents who cannot offer costly mobile phones to their children can give them the radios for staying connected.

Coverage area of two way radios depends upon the set itself. If you want higher coverage, you have to go for high power radios. This type of radios may be a little expensive. An average radio generally covers something between three to five miles. With plenty of online shops selling two way radios over the Internet, you do not need to go out of your home to buy a radio. You can do it from anywhere, only if you have access to the Internet.
