Retevis RT29 VHF radio for mountain and forest

We always prefer mountains and forests when hiking and camping. Due to the coverage of cellular signals and terrain, it will be impossible to contact partners in time. The intercom outside the meeting is very important.

Factors for choosing a walkie-talkie for mountains and forests

There will be more obstacles in mountains and forests, and we will also consider more factors when choosing a walkie-talkie. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a walkie talkie for mountains and forests.

1.VHF or UHF?

VHF radios are primarily used in outdoor applications where there are few obstacles and can be used within line of sight. In these cases, radio frequencies will travel farther.

UHF radios are suitable for situations when working in and around buildings or facing other obstacles, as the frequency can better penetrate walls, steel structures and "other" obstacles.

Obviously, we are more suitable to use VHF walkie-talkies outdoors.

2.Battery life

Outdoors, we do not have suitable conditions to charge the walkie-talkie. Therefore, a large-capacity battery and a design that supports multiple charging methods are needed. This will make our outdoor activities more convenient.

3. Durable design

Outdoors we often encounter various complex environments. This requires the walkie-talkies we use to have higher performance.

4. Range/Antenna

The range and signal strength that can be transmitted and received are what we need to know most. More wattage often means greater distance.

5. Customer Friendliness

Intercoms that are simple and easy to operate are a very good choice.
