Tips for buying the best walkie talkie for you Do I want to communicate through VHF or UHF?

       The first thing to do when you want to buy a walkie talkie is think about what you need it for. In what situations are you going to be using it. Are you using it for long mountain hikes, are you using it to communicate on boats over water, are you using it in a vehicle or in a building? Theses factors are generally where your choice for VHF or UHF comes from when deciding which walkie talkie is best for you. Generally VHF (Very High Frequency) travels further outdoors and UHF(Ultra high Frequency) is better suited for inside use or close to buildings. It is important to note that walkie talkies using VHF cannot communicate with those using UHF. Almost all walkie talkie reviews featured on this site will be for VHF, unless we specifically specified otherwise.
