Choosing Between UHF and VHF Walkie Talkie
When selecting the best radio, you will come across two types of two-way radios. That is the UHF and VHF. Both have found significant use in different industries, including construction, health, public safety and trucking services.
On the other hand, each carries its own set of differences. For instance, UHF (Ultra High Frequency) is ideal for people who intend to use them indoors or in areas where the signal comes across various physical obstacles. Since they can go through multiple obstacles, they are also helpful in outdoor settings. VHF radios (Very High Frequency) are the best option for marine and outdoor environments. They are not as effective in an indoor environment.
