With each passing day, we are introduced to better models of two way radios, having more innovative features. Every new model introduced has a new feature accompanying it. All these innovative features have contributed to the increased usage and popularity of these radio instruments. People have started adopting it as commonly as a mobile phone.
The number of channels in two way radios differs depending upon the type of two way radios being used. The FRS (Family Radio Service) offers users 14 channels, while the GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) gives users 23 channels. Hybrid radios (a combination of FRS and GMRS radios) offers users the facility of 15 channels or more. In fact, the number of channels offered by a radio is directly proportional to its price; the more the channels the higher he price.
Other unique features available in two way radios these days are:
- Battery Type: The battery of two way radios is designed for durability and endurance. Portability is also another factor; hence all devices have an internal battery. For users who use the radio less, there are AA and AAA alkaline batteries, but people who use the radios often can go in for Nickel Metal Hydride or Nickel Cadmium Batteries that can be recharged.
- Weather Channels: Many radios these days have weather channels that provide users the weather news and forecasts by the official meteorological department. This feature is ideal for people who have to travel a lot for work, both within the country and abroad.
- VOX: This feature makes the push button in two way radios redundant. Earlier, in order to speak, users had to push a button. But the voice activated system, or the VOX starts broadcasting the moment the user speaks in the direction of the radio. This feature is extremely useful when the user is engaged in some other task like driving, as it provides a hands free facility.
