As we all know, the power of the walkie-talkie is one of the key factors that affect its communication range, generally speaking, the stronger the power, the wider the signal coverage of the walkie-talkie. Other external influencing factors such as environmental conditions, obstacles, electromagnetic interference, etc. also affect the actual communication effect, for example, in the interior of the building, dense vegetation and other environments, the signal is easy to be blocked or absorbed, and the communication range is also limited, so even the use of high-power walkie-talkies may not be able to achieve a longer communication distance.
What are the common power ranges of walkie-talkies?
Common handheld walkie-talkies such as home walkie-talkies usually have less power, at 0Below 5W; The power range of business walkie-talkies is usually between 1W and 5W; Professional walkie-talkies usually have higher power, above 5W, or even more than ten or twenty watts.
In addition, special types of walkie-talkies also have specific power ranges, for example, explosion-proof walkie-talkies have a power range between 2W and 5W, which requires a safer power range due to environmental influences. As a professional communication equipment, the cluster walkie-talkie is suitable for public safety, transportation, fire protection and other fields, and the power range can be more than 5W, or even tens of watts.
What is the impact of high power on walkie-talkies?
1. Power consumption: At the same time, high power consumption means higher power consumption, fast battery consumption, and shorter battery life, which leads to more frequent charging and faster battery replacement.
2. Electromagnetic radiation: Compared with low power, the electromagnetic radiation of high-power walkie-talkies is higher, and the use of high-power walkie-talkies for a long time and at close range may have an impact on human health.
3. Communication effect: As mentioned earlier, power is not the only factor affecting the communication distance, so the communication distance will also be affected by other factors, even in the case of high power use, it is impossible to achieve a long communication distance. For example, inside buildings, basements, valleys, etc., signals can be easily blocked or absorbed.
How to rationalize the use of walkie-talkie power?
Choose power according to demand: under the non-essential environmental requirements, short-distance communication only needs to choose a low-power walkie-talkie, and the pursuit of too high power is only a waste of resources and increase costs; However, when used in more complex environments, the appropriate selection of low power may improve the communication effect.
Avoid long-term high-power use: Use high-power walkie-talkies for a reasonable time, and avoid using high-power mode for a long time, so as not to accelerate the aging of components, equipment overheating and other problems.
