Walkie Talkies & Two-Way Radios
Mobile phone coverage has its limits - remote hiking trails, noisy construction sites, and large event venues are exactly where two-way UHF radios prove their worth. Noel Leeming stocks the full Uniden UHF range, including the UH45 colour-coded twin, triple, and quad packs designed for family adventures, the UH615-2 with 80-channel capability for longer-range coordination, and the high-powered 5 Watt Tradies Pack built for demanding job sites. Uniden's UHF handhelds operate on 80 channels across New Zealand's UHF CB band, require no licence or subscription, and deliver practical communication ranges of up to 17km in open terrain - making them a cost-effective, always-on communication tool for both professional and recreational use.
Choosing the Right Walkie Talkie for Your Needs
Wattage determines range - 1.5W models handle short-range use like warehouse floors and camping grounds, while 2W and 5W units are better suited for tradies, farmers, and outdoor groups spread across larger distances. Colour-coded multi-packs simplify identification across teams or family groups, especially useful on the ski slope or at a busy sports event. Battery life, weather resistance, and VOX (voice-activated transmission) are worth prioritising for extended outdoor use. Twin packs cover most everyday scenarios; quad packs deliver better value when you need to equip an entire crew or large group.
