The Lifespan of a Two-Way Radio
There are two main types of two-way radios: VHF (very high frequency) and UHF (ultra-high frequency). Both have their advantages and disadvantages. You can select the right one for your needs depending on the application. The transmission distance is determined by the radio frequency. Radio waves travel from one radio to the other in continuous cycles. The frequency of radio waves is measured in hertz or Hz. Kilohertz is the measurement unit for radio waves. The general life span of two-way radios and their accessories is from five to seven years. The life span of radios depends on the environment where they are deployed. They may fail before more sophisticated or fragile communication equipment. Other factors that may shorten the life span of a radio include local congestion and frequency...
