Two way radios are used for two way communication within the specified range. These radios facilitate the sending and reception of data of different frequencies over different channels. These radios have been used for the purpose of communication for the last many years. However, these days the two way radios have several other features incorporated in them that make them suitable for use for other purposes as well. For instance, these radios are now used for navigation purposes as well as for knowing about the weather conditions. When purchasing a two way radio, the user has to look for several features. These features include backlights as this is a necessary feature that all radios must have as the backlight facilitates easy vision in low light or at night. For radios used in pubs or clubs this feature is extremely beneficial. Ringers. Radios need not essentially have a ringer but those with a ringer to alert the user about incoming data are preferred by most users. In addition to the above, the two way radios may have several other features. These radios can be made compatible with a computer for transmission of date from computer to computer. These radios can also be provided with a USB port to transmit data from various devices. Another feature that may be added to this type of a radio is a card reader that can read data from a memory card. Yet another feature that can be added to this type of a radio is global positioning satellite receiver that can receive data from satellites. Voice Activation systems. Two way radios which are incorporated with this feature are automatically put in a transmit mode whenever there is a noise. This feature also enables one to use the hands free option when a handset is used. Auto scan. All radios that are used for a two way communication need to have this feature. The auto scan feature enables automatic scanning of channels that the radio is able to catch. This avoids the need to use a channel searcher. Adjustable squelch. This is a necessary feature in all radios. This feature eliminates any extra noise or interference that is received along with the signal. This ensures that the signal or data received is clear and without interruptions or any part missing. Selectable power level. Two way radios either are low power or high power radios. The selectable power level feature enables a user to switch between the high power and low power level. The high power level can be selected when the radio has to be used for long range communication or transmission. The low power level can be selected when transmission has to take place within a short range or distance.


Battery indicator. The battery indicator is yet another feature that radios used for two way radio communication need to have. This indicates when a battery is low and needs recharging or replacement. Battery type. Tis is not an essential feature that these radios need to have. This feature simply tells about the type of battery that is used in the 2 way radio.
