A two way radio facilitates the sending and receiving of data or signals at the same time. There are various factors that need to be considered when choosing a two way radio. A person can choose from the two configurations available, namely, Family Radio service and General Mobile Radio service. The Family Radio service configuration is a low power unit that can have up to 14 channels. On the other hand the General Mobile Radio service is a high power radio that can have up to 22 channels. A person can compare the two configurations and select the best one available. Another factor that determines what type of a two way radio can be selected is the range in which it can operate. In general a range of up to 25 miles is considered to be the best for this type of a radio. However, in real life this type of a radio cannot operate in this range. This is because there are several factors that make these radios operate at a range that is not considered to be the optimal one. These factors include topography, weather, obstructions and interference from other signals of different frequencies. The type of terrain also affects the performance of this type of a radio. A two way radio must be selected by keeping all these factors in mind so that it can operate within the optimal range. A person must also check the effectiveness of the antennae used. It is always better to choose a radio whose antennae ensure a better and clear transmission. Another feature that must be checked for before a radio can be chosen is the number of channels that are available over the radio. A good 2 way radio of this type must make maximum number of channels available so that it can be optimally used. The size and weight of the radio must also be considered when choosing a two way radio. A radio that is small in size and is lightweight must be selected. It is always better to choose such a radio so that it becomes easily portable. The calling and paging features must also be considered before choosing a radio. A good radio must also enable a person to scan through the channels available so that one can easily locate an empty channel. One must also check the noise filters before a radio is chosen. This ensures that the noise filters are clear and allow one to receive the data clearly and loudly. Also when choosing this type of a radio, care must be taken to select the one that uses low power so that the battery lasts longer. Another important feature that must be looked for is whether the 2 way radio is compatible with other radios or not. This is important so that two or more radios can work together and even receive the same channels. Once all the above points are kept in mind, a person will always end up purchasing the best two way radio that meets the persons requirements in terms of features and budget.
