How to choose a handheld walkie talkie suitable for hikers to use
For hikers, choosing a handheld walkie talkie suitable for outdoor activities is crucial. Here are some suggestions to help you find the right device:
- A choice with better economic conditions: If economic conditions permit, it is possible to consider importing branded machines, such as Japanese brands (Bazhong Continent, Jianwu, ICOM) or American brands (Motorola). These brands of machines are designed specifically for outdoor use and have features such as waterproofing and shock resistance. The price range ranges from over a thousand to over three thousand, and can be chosen according to personal preferences.
- Entry level selection: For general outdoor environments, domestic brands also provide a cost-effective option. Brands with nationally approved network access numbers, such as Hainengda, Beifeng, Lingtong, Teyitong, Quansheng, etc., are all good choices. The price ranges from over 200 to over 300, suitable for entry-level users.
- Power adjustable voice control function: Consider choosing a power adjustable walkie talkie, usually between 1W and 5W, and adjust it according to actual usage environment and needs. In addition, walkie talkies with voice control function can free up hands in outdoor climbing and other situations, and can transmit signals with just talking, which works better when paired with headphones.
- Network access certificate filing: Select a walkie talkie with a network access certificate to ensure that it is a device that has passed the national registration inspection. This may make it easier to pass the verification process when applying for a radio license in the future.
Overall, choosing a handheld walkie talkie that matches one’s own needs and economic situation is crucial. Before purchasing, it is important to carefully compare the characteristics of different brands and models to ensure that the selected equipment perfectly meets the actual needs of outdoor activities.
