There is a fundamental difference between UHF and VHF two way radios and choosing the right one for your particular consumer or business radio application is very important. In this episode of Radio 101, Anthony at Buy Two Way Radios explains the difference between UHF and VHF so you can determine which is best for you.

I work for a good sized Electrical Company in Chicago, IL and we are looking at upgrading our radio situation. What are the best 2 way radios to use on construction sites in Chicago? Some work is outdoors, some is indoors, and some is a mixture of the 2. I know VHF is horrible when having obstructions as they do not work through walls but if I am going to replace around 100 radios I definitely want to have the best information.
Thanks
TWRS-19 - Cruising With Radios may provide some guidance on which radios will be best for use on a cruise ship.
Cruise lines also offer radios for rental on board the ships, however it isn't necessarily the best deal. We covered that topic in TWRS-77 - Renting vs. Buying Radios.
You can also give us a call at 1-800-584-1445 and we will be happy to assist you.
The Two Way Radio Show Podcast Episode #16 - An Introduction To Marine Radios explains it well. It answers your questions about the number of marine channels available as well as where they can and cannot be used. You may want to give it a listen before investing in or using a marine radio for the first time.
How many channels do I need on VHF radio for marine use in Florida?
Thanks,
