Hiking Radios Perfect to Keep You and Your Team Safe

If you're setting out into the woods on a weekend hike, you're likely looking for every possible way to stay safe on your journey. Aside from wearing the proper hiking gear and going out with a group, you may want to bring along a two-way radio to communicate with your fellow hikers and make sure that no one gets separated. These handy devices are also great to use so that you can radio for help in case of injury.

If you're in the market for a radio to take hiking, here are the best models available at Tech Wholesale.

  • The Motorola CLS1110 When hiking, the most important factor to look for in a radio is a long distance radius. Because you'll be out in the forest and potentially very far away from your fellow hikers, it's essential that your radios can communicate from long distances. This Motorola model works at a distance of up to 200,000 square feet outdoors, so it's the perfect choice for your next hiking trip.
  • The Motorola RMU2040 This affordable radio set is another great long distance option. It's very lightweight to make it easy to carry while hiking, and it can be upgraded to include a high capacity lithium ion battery that stays charged for much longer than usual batteries. This particular model can communicate at a distance of up to 250,000 square feet outdoors.
  • Motorola RDV5100 This Motorola walkie talkie can communicate at a range of a whopping 300,000 square feet, which is a very impressive distance for long-distance hikers. This is a great choice if you're worried about losing the connection with your fellow hikers, and it comes with a handy belt clip that makes it easy to carry with you while hiking. The lithium-ion battery is also very long-lasting, so you won't have to worry about it dying while out on the trail.
