Farming Radios

Farms can range from just a few acres to a massive plot of land, and farmers know the difficulties of being able to communicate with their employees and those who work on the farm with them - that's why many use two-way radios to communicate during the day. Walkie talkies are a great way for farmers to convey a message to anyone they need across a vast plot of land, and to make sure everything is running smoothly during day to day operations. Being able to consistently and seamlessly communicate with everyone on a farm can reduce wasted time and save money.

Listed here are a handful of radios that are both low and high powered, UHF and VHF, robust and durable radios for farms. If you're working outside on a smaller plot of land, we recommend going with a 2 watt radio - either the Motorola RMU2040 or Kenwood NXP1302AUK. If you want more clear and consistent coverage on a larger one, we would recommend a 4 or 5 watt radio.

Farms are one of the only instances we would recommend VHF. As farms tend to be more open and flat, VHF signals can go further than UHF signals with less power. So a 2-watt RMV2080 or NX-P1202AVK would also be a fantastic choice, or if you need more power we’d recommend the NX-P1200AVK and digital NX-P1200NVK.

The CP100D is another fantastic choice and comes in a both UHF and VHF, as well as digital versions of both

Although they are not name brand, Blackbox creates a sturdy product comparable to Motorola and Kenwood - and they are fantastic on a smaller budget. So we suggest the Bantam in either VHF or UHF as well.
