3 Best GMRS Walkie Talkie for Family Farm Use

When working on a family farm, people are spread out over many acres, cell phone coverage is not reliable. Whether you're planting, cleaning out a granary, registering a farmhouse, running combine harvesters and grain carts, or just having everyday communications, you need to communicate with other people, and the best way to do that is with a two-way radio. Traditionally, farmers and ranchers have often used CB radios with limited range and poor voice quality, while farmworkers, usually use limited range license-free walkie talkies or expensive commercial walkie talkies, Farmers have to lease radio frequencies, this often brings higher costs.

As a new trend in farm communication, GMRS radios have been promoted and used by more and more farmers and ranchers, because of their long distance and high-quality calls. Retevis Solutions will introduce you to 3 handheld GMRS walkie talkies that are most suitable for agricultural communication. You can use it as a mainstream communication tool for your farms and ranches.

All Retevis GMRS two-way radios transmit on FRS/GMRS frequencies and can communicate with other brands of GMRS and FRS radios. For family farm use, the best GMRS walkie talkies are RT76P, RB75, and RB17P.

Choose a walkie talkie 

Any choice should be based on needs. Before you make a decision, you must first understand your needs and concerns.

Application

Used by ground workers on farms and ranches to maintain instant communication with vehicles on the farm and farm workers in the farm, improve farm work efficiency and ensure safety.

Range

The walkie-talkie you choose should have the ability to cover the entire farm. A normal GMRS hand-held walkie-talkie can have a call distance of 3.5KM in the open environment of the farm. If this distance cannot meet your needs, we recommend that you set up a GMRS repeater on the farm to extend the range of the handset.

Durability

Your walkie-talkie for farm work needs to be able to handle the harsh weather outdoors, durable enough to withstand the weather and a few drops.
