Range & Coverage Most business users need to communicate “on-site” in and around their structures. Coverage of their facility with a clear, intelligible signal is the primary concern. Wide area coverage of several miles may require use of a “repeater”. HP Series radios are compatible with repeaters.
Range is determined by several factors:
UHF provides the best coverage indoors and out, especially in steel and concrete structures and large industrial or multi-story buildings. A 2 watt UHF will provide better cover inside industrial buildings than a 5 watt VHF.
VHF good for outdoor “line of sight” applications and inside wood structures.
Frequency UHF or VHF
Power More power provides greater coverage
Obstructions Structures, metal, steal and concrete will reduce range and coverage

Business Walkie-Talkie Frequencies Motorola professional two-way radios use frequencies reserved exclusively for business users. There is no interference or channel congestion from FRS “family” radios. Frequencies of XTN and CLS Series are user selectable. AX Series requires programming by the dealer.
XTN Series radios are equipped with 56 UHF or 27 VHF frequencies, depending on the radio model
CLS Series radios are equipped with 56 UHF frequencies
AX Series radios come with factory programmed frequencies UHF & VHF. They may be custom programmed to hundreds of other frequencies and codes. Programming by dealer may be required.

Interference Eliminator Codes Interference Eliminator Codes prevent hearing other nearby businessess operating on the same channel. This promotes workgroup efficiency as your group is not interrupted hearing these other users. Business two-way radios are set to the same frequency and code setting that will communicate with eachother. There are 121 codes available on XTN, CLS and AX Series two-way radios. Codes are easily changed by the user on the XTN and CLS Series.
