Licensed Radios (UHF & VHF)

If you're looking for radios with more outdoor range, then licensing your own local frequency to use and purchasing relevant long-range licensed radio is the next logical step up from the licence-free (PMR) style radios.

Licensing is easily obtainable by applying to Ofcom using the form (here).

Although they have the same kind of design and functionality they always have had in the past, the quality and additional features of UHF and VHF Two-Way Radios have evolved and improved with the passing of time and advancements made with the technology used.

If you are looking to benefit from a greater outdoor range, then it may be time to seriously consider investing in long-range licenced two-way radios. With more than 30 years in the industry, we have the experience, knowledge and have gained an enviable reputation for our commitment to providing the best quality products for the most reasonable prices.

Therefore, if you are looking for long-range two-way radios for an exceptional price, take a look at the above selection of products.

The difference between standard unlicenced, use out of the box, two-way radios are that they do not require a licence to use them. That is because they come with a set frequency band you can use PMR446. The downside is that lots of people use this same frequency band and it does not offer the same outdoor range as a decidated, licenced radio tuned to your own frequency band.

With licenced radios, you need to apply to Ofcom, to rent your own frequency. This means you can be sure that only you and other users related to you will be using the same frequency band and these radios tend to be more powerful and offer greater coverage outdoors.

There are two types of licenced long-range two-way radios that we stock here at PMC Telecom – Ultra High Frequency and Very High Frequency (or UHF and VHF for short). Each of these is better suited to specific uses and locations.

• VHF Radios – Use Very High Frequencies that are best for communicating across greater distances, in outdoor settings where there are open areas to get the best out of the maximum range, and as some come with waterproofing qualities, underwater uses.
• UHF Radios – Use Ultra High Frequencies that are best for places where there may be floors, doors and walls that normally cause interference and reception issues with other two-way radios and communication devices.
