Radio
All of these radios operate on FCC designated business frequencies that require an FCC license. A frequency is the discrete setting on which a radio's transmission is carried; radios must operate on the same frequency to communicate with each other.
Radios with multiple channels allow you to put different groups of users on an assigned frequency so they can operate within the same area without talking over each other. Change channels with the press of a button.
For better coverage and clearer transmissions, choose a radio with high wattage.
UHF radios work best in and around steel and concrete structures.
VHF radios work best in and around wood structures.
Radios with voice scramble allow you to input a privacy code—transmissions sound garbled to anyone listening without the same code.

CB Radios
CB radios use nonbusiness designated frequencies and do not require a FCC license. A frequency is the discrete setting on which a radio's transmission is carried; radios must operate on the same frequency to communicate with each other.
Channels allow you to put different groups of users on an assigned frequency so they can operate within the same area without talking over each other. Change channels by dialing the knob.
The squelch control feature lets you filter out static when the radio isn't transmitting.
Mount an antenna on the outside of your vehicle for better reception.

Also known as walkie talkies, these radios work best at short distances in areas with little to no obstructions. They operate on FRS (Family Radio Service) and GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies and require an FCC license, but won't work on FCC designated business frequencies and are not intended for commercial business use. A frequency is the discrete setting on which a radio's transmission is carried; radios must operate on the same frequency to communicate with each other.

AM/FM Radios
Stay informed and entertained while you’re on the job. These radios have a roll cage, so they’ll keep working if dropped or knocked off a workbench. You can plug them in when you’re near an outlet, or use batteries to take them anywhere.
Radios with a Bluetooth connection work with your smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled device to play music wirelessly. When plugged in and used with rechargeable batteries, these radios let you charge the batteries without needing a separate charger.
Radios with NOAA weather band reception receive seven frequencies for local weather alerts and hazard information.
IPX4- and IP64-rated radios resist water splashed from all directions. While IPX4 radios are dust resistant, IP64 radios are dust tight, so they’re better for dirty, dusty, and sandy jobsites.
