What is the range of walkie talkies? How many chargers will you supply? Do the radios come fully charged? Like most rental companies, we supply “50% chargers”, meaning we’ll provide sufficient chargers to charge half the walkie talkies at once. They will be fully charged when you receive them from us.
How long do Motorola radios last on one charge and how long do they take to charge? The expected battery life is eight hours with typical use (5% transmit, 5% receive and 90% standby). Batteries will take approximately 1 hour for a rapid (90%) charge, at which point the charging indicator on the base will flash green. Full charge takes around 3 hours.
Do I need a licence to use walkie talkies? Yes you need an Ofcom licence to use higher powered units, but don’t worry! Most rental companies will supply you with a paper copy of our licence, which will cover you. We send one out with every booking.
Will I get interference when using walkie talkies? Incredibly unlikely. Digital radios can be encrypted to avoid this problem. If you make use of all the encryption features on a DP1400 radio, there’s a higher chance of you winning the lottery!
What does a radio repeater do? A repeater extends the range of walkie-talkies. It consists of a box of electronics and an antenna which you put somewhere high in the centre of the area where you need coverage. It gives you a much greater range on 2 channels.
Do I need earpieces with radios? Most of our customers use earpieces with the radios. Firstly it means that conversations can be heard in a noisy environment. Secondly it give you more privacy as it means your radios’ conversations won’t be heard by members of the public.
Can I use my own radios too? The short answer is “no”. We use encryption to prevent interruptions to calls. You can only hear someone on your channel if they use the same encryption settings that you are using. On or our DP1400 digital models, the chance of this happening is around 1 in 16 million! radiofacilities.com/can-i-use-my-own-radios-alongside-ones-i-hire-in
What's the difference between digital and analogue walkie talkies? How many channels does a walkie talkie have? Our DP1400 radios have 14 standard (radio to radio) channels and 2 repeater channels. You can choose whether you put everyone on the same channel or divide them into groups.
