We live in scary times and it’s not overly dramatic to say that the radio choice you make for your church or school could be a matter of life and death.

Because of that, we want to ensure you're able to make an informed and intelligent purchase decision. There’s too much on the line for you to just head off to a local Walmart and grab whatever device has an attractive price tag.

A no-name radio might not have the range you need, or it might stop working in the middle of an emergency. That’s not a chance you can afford to take.

But what are the features that you need to look out for when selecting a radio for your church or school?

• Works Both Inside and Outside: You’re going to need a radio that works in both indoor and outdoor locations. That’s why, for churches and schools, we typically recommend a UHF device or digital band radio. You’re going to need something that can easily make its way around walls, desks, doors, etc. But these radios also need to be able to function outside in the event of an evacuation. We don’t recommend VHF devices for schools or churches because they are not optimized to work indoors.
• Lightweight: Because members of your staff will have to walk around with these radios, they should be small and lightweight. That will make them easy to carry, and they won’t cause any problems or get in the way during an evacuation.
• Sturdy: Your chosen radio should be highly durable. We recommend military-grade hardware. A radio that will shatter if it’s dropped won’t do any good for anyone during an emergency scenario.
• Long-Lasting Battery: Don’t buy a radio that can’t make it through a day’s worth of services or a regular school day. You should look for something with at least 12 hours of battery life. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery would be ideal.
• Multiple Channels: For the sake of efficiency it’s always a good idea to segment your staff using different radio channels. Custodial workers don’t need to hear the back and forth exchanges between members of your security team, and so on.

Give us a call at 888-925-5982 if you have any questions about the needs of your church or school. We can help to match you with the perfect device.

Best Church or School Radio Models

Motorola DLR1020

The Motorola DLR1020 is a solid choice for a small church or school. It has two channels, which means you can segment security staff on their own channel while everyone else shares one.

It runs on a digital band, which is budget-friendly in the long run. That’s because digital radios don’t require FCC licensing and the fees that go along with it. The FCC requires certain VHF and UHF devices to obtain licenses that have to be renewed periodically.

Digital radios are exempt from that directive.

This is a super lightweight device at only 4.2 ounces. It has a two-mile outdoor range coupled with a 300,000 square foot indoor range.

Privacy is never a concern when using the DLR1020 thanks to the Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology that protects your communications.

Despite having only two channels, this device has a Direct Call feature. That means you can contact one specific person without everyone hearing. In a church setting, you’re able to contact Child Care if need be without interrupting the other departments.

There is also a Page All Available feature that would be beneficial in the event of an emergency.

If you want to utilize the Motorola DLR1020 in your church or school, contact Tech Wholesale for a free personalized quote.

It has the same 20 Floor or 300,000 square foot indoor range along with an outdoor range of two miles.

This device also operates on a digital band which means that it has no FCC License expenses that will eat at your annual budget.

The Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology built into the DLR1060 means that your private communications can’t be picked up. It also has 10,000 Radio profile ID codes to further protect your sensitive information.
