Agricultural two-way radios are a great way for farmers to communicate information to anyone they need across their large acreage. And to ensure everything runs smoothly in their day-to-day operations. If you're working outside on a smaller piece of land, we recommend using a 2-watt FRS radios. If you want a better communication experience for larger farms. We would recommend using a long range walkie talkie. This article will focus on the importance of long range radios on your farm.
Farms can range from a few acres to a large tract of land, and farmers know how difficult it can be to communicate with their employees and the people they work with on the farm. Whether or not you need to choose long range walkie talkies for your farm is largely based on the size of your farm, the terrain, and whether or not it is wooded.
If your farm is large and over 200 acres, you may not want to consider the 2W FRS walkie-talkie. Meanwhile, in the US, GMRS is easier for family farms.
When you face a lot of obstacles and obstructions, you need to choose a higher power handheld radio. Generally speaking, a 5W handheld device can basically cover the distance you need. If you want to get a longer distance, you can choose a UHF band handheld device (you can also set it to communicate with GMRS devices).
If you are using tractors and similar equipment, you may need a 2-way radio with noise cancellation to counteract the noise of the machine.
