Take your 2 way radio experience to the next level with a waterproof walkie talkie. A state of the art, super hi-tech device for people who need an ultra reliable communication device in all types of weather and terrain conditions, a waterproof walkie talkie must meet certain stipulations in order to be considered a certain “level” of waterproof. For example, “JIS7″ means the device can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes with no adverse affects and will maintain full functionality and operation.
In addition to the levels of water protection, some waterproof walkie talkie radios can also float in water. This is ultra convenient and helpful if your activities include anything such as kayaking, boating, fishing, etcetera. If you drop your device, no need to go diving for it – it will float right where it lands.
Other helpful and essential features can include an impressive range – up to 36 miles – in some models. This is a crucial component to the device if you rely on walkie talkie radios for work – such as being a firemen, park ranger, etcetera. There is also little to no interference on these 2 way radios with privacy codes that help block other conversations.
Another important feature on the waterproof walkie talkie is the NOAA weather alert radio with weather scan. Your radio will auto-lock to the local weather channel and alert you if necessary. Regardless of your 2 way radio’s intended purpose, this is critical for your safety if inclement weather should decide to head your way.
If you should find yourself in a serious or emergency type situation, the SOS siren will allow you to send out a locator-distress signal.
Other hi-tech features such as direct calls within “group calls,” which allows you to speak directly to another person without alerting your entire group, eVOX hands free operation and voice activation, battery strength meter, silent mode, missed call indicator, powerboost key, backlit LCD display, auto channel change, rapid charger, “whisper” – which allows you to do just that and the receiver hears you at full volume, dual power option and variant call alerts come standard on any model of waterproof walkie talkie.
Waterproof walkie talkie radios are a must if you have a job or extra-curricular activity that requires you to be outside and communication is regularly required.
