FAQs

What's the longest range a walkie-talkie can go? ›

There are many manufacturers that sell FRS radios and all claim different maximum ranges, from around 20 to 35 miles. Despite this, all of these radios are constrained by the same regulations which restrict the transmission frequency and output power.

Thus, two people carrying a handheld two-way radio, the maximum communication distance on flat ground with no obstructions is approximately 6 miles.

With the help of the existing 3G/4G/5G network, the long range walkie-talkie and two-way radio can reach more than 1000 miles. Utilize the LTE network to achieve global coverage and seamless communication of remote intercom.

Higher wattage means a larger range of communication. For example, a radio running at 1 watt should translate to around a mile of coverage, 2 watts may reach up to a 1.5-mile radius and a 5-watt radio may be able to reach up to 6 miles away.

The Motorola P25 APX two-way radio series is designed for officers on duty and has unique features to suit the needs of each user at every department level in your law enforcement agency.

The average two-way radio will perform for approximately 5-7 years. A lower-end radio could withstand around 3-4 years of regular use, while higher quality two-way radios can perform for up to 7+ years.

So according to our rule-of-thumb, 2 people around 6 feet tall using a 5 watt handheld two-way radio, used on flat ground with no obstacles, will have a maximum range of approximately 6 miles.

The information on this type of radio will not be secure, meaning anyone on that same channel can hear you.

Well, Yes, walkie-talkies can be tracked, but it depends on the specific type of walkie-talkie, the technology it uses, and whether it has tracking capabilities built into it. Walkie talkie with location tracking is an option if you are looking for one.

So realistically, for two people carrying a handheld two-way radio, the maximum communication distance on flat ground with no obstructions is around 4 to 6 miles. So you may be wondering why you see radios that have range claims of 25 miles or higher. Technically they could communicate that far.

What is the most powerful radio you can use without a license? ›

Radios That Do NOT Require a License…

They transmit at 2 watts or less and only operate on pre-set frequencies between 151 -154 MHz in the VHF band.

More powerful General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) radios have a longer range, can access frequencies that FRS radios cannot and require an FCC license to operate legally — so make sure you are purchasing an FRS radio unless you're interested in getting a broadcast license.

Two-way radios are frequently mounted on a base station, desk or in a vehicle and therefore stationary. A walkie talkie is a handheld radio (or handheld transceiver) and can be used while walking around. Walkie talkies are always two-way radios while two-way radios are not always walkie talkies.

An FCC license is required to operate GMRS system. Licenses are issued for a ten-year term and can be renewed between 90 days prior to the expiration date and up to the actual expiration date of the license. After a license expires, an individual must request a new GMRS license.

So, a 2-watt walkie-talkie might broadcast within a range of 1.5 miles; 3 watts = 2 miles; 4 watts = 2.5 miles; 5 watts = 3 miles; and so on. Actual distances may vary widely based on weather, UHF vs. VHF, etc. But these are good, general rules of thumb to go by when shopping for a new radio system.

It doesn't require a license and often comes with 22 channels and 2 Watts of frequency. The GMRS, in contrast, has 5 watts of power therefore the more power, the longer the range. Many companies make FRS radios, and they say these radios can reach different distances, like from 20 to 35 miles.

Walkie talkies can be traced through various methods, but privacy concerns should be taken into consideration. To prevent walkie talkies from being traced, encryption and secure channels can be used, along with distraction techniques.

To boost range, get to an elevated area and use the radio there. Use a repeater – Signal repeaters can help extend range. A repeater receives and re-transmits the signal from your radio with increased power.
