The three types of walkie-talkies used on the market are DMR walkie-talkies, GMRS walkie-talkies and license-free walkie-talkies. So among the many walkie-talkies, how to choose a walkie-talkie suitable for the farm?
I hope our friend Timothy’s experience can help you choose a suitable walkie-talkie.
"I run a farm in northwest Georgia that mainly grows some vegetables and a small number of dairy cows. There are about 15-20 employees working on the farm, and we will work in four or five teams, even though Everyone doesn’t need to have a walkie-talkie, but we still need at least five handheld walkie-talkies throughout the farm.”
“I’ve looked at many brands of walkie-talkies, and it’s really hard to make a decision when buying something. I want a walkie-talkie with moderate power, waterproof, long-term use, and resistance to falling. After watching a lot of videos and articles, and website. I saw the Retevis HA1G.”
"I already have a GMRS license, so I have been considering GMRS handheld radios. And I have also considered using repeaters if my farm area continues to expand in the future. Using GMRS in this way will save me a lot of budget."
"The second is the IP67 waterproof and dustproof function. I have seen some tests by YouTube bloggers. They soaked the HA1G in water, and it still functions normally after taking it out. This waterproof function is a must for me when choosing a walkie-talkie. "
"The HA1G is described in the advertisement as a rugged and durable walkie-talkie. I saw in the product details that the weight of the HA1G is 500g. 500g is a relatively heavy walkie-talkie, which means it is not easily knocked over by objects and has a large battery capacity. It dropped from the waist to the ground while we were working without any issues."
In addition to the combination of HA1G and microphone, the combination of HA1G and RT97S GMRS Repeater is also very suitable for farm using.
