The simplicity of use, the practicality of their function, and the fact they have been around for decades, seem to have kept them in the vogue. There have been some situations where cell phones have encroached on their territory, but, for larger, more complicated events, or event events that need efficient 1 to 1 and 1 to many connectivity, 2 way radios still hold the answer.
Now let us take a look at the 2 way radio accessories required for this system. You may not be able buy all the accessories at every dealer or rental company.
Here are five common accessories worth considering for your next rental need.
Antenna
One unavoidable accessory for a walkie talkie system is antenna. In some countries like Malaysia these two-way radio systems are provided with normal antenna. But the WOKI TALK company does provide the extendable antenna, whch looks vey much like the ordinary antenna but has the telescoped extendable portion that can be pulled up to its full length.
The extendable portion of the antenna needs to be pulled out only if you reach the critical or marginal area of the radio range for better quality of voice for communication. This extension will also give you several hundred meters of additional coverage for communication. You will often come across situations when you need the additional coverage. That is the time you will realize the real advantage o such a facility.
Headset
Another common accessory is a light weight walkie talkie headset. It enables you to keep both your hands free while talking. Alternatively, you can buy a ear phone device that can be plugged directly into your ear along with a small microphone that can be clipped to your shirt collar for communication.
Microphone
Microphone or hand set microphone, which we mentioned earlier, is one mor commonest accessory of a walkie talkie set. It comes with a wire and a clip for extendable connection. The microphone is usually clipped to the shirt collar or any other suitable place. While talking it can be pulled closer to the mouth without moving the walkie talkie device. By pressing the side button of the device you can communicate freely.
Carrying Case
Another walkie talkie accessory nice to have is the carrying case. It ensures safe and easy handling of the walkie talkie device. The case originally designed for WOKI H900S model fits most of the walkie talkie models. Initially, the carrying case was used only by Kenwood walkie talkie but now its use has become pretty common.
The strip attached to the carrying case makes it easy for you to sling it across your shoulder.
Those who work under tough outdoor conditions with the exposure to heavy dust and water need a special plastc seal carrying bag. It is not an ordinary type of carrying base. It has enough space to hold the entire walkie talkie device along with even a long antenna installed.
This type of plastic carrying bag is specially useful if you are an enthusiast of challenging outdoor activities like hiking or kayaking. The bag will keep your walkie talkie safe from water.
Relacement Battery
It is always advisable o keep a spare battery as your back up. The lifespan or the charge duration of the battery depends on how many times you recharge it. Usually after six months of repetitive recharge, the battery performance starts deteriorating. Having a replacement battery ready with you will save you from any interruption in the service.
