Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between 1.5 Watt and 1 Watt radios?
A: The UH615-2 Max delivers 1.5 Watts (1500mW) output - 50% more power than 1W models and triple standard 500mW radios. This translates to 10+km range versus 7+km for 1W models and 3+km for 500mW. The extra power provides superior signal penetration through obstacles, maintains clearer signal in dense terrain, and delivers the longest-range handheld UHF communication available for serious remote exploration.
Q: Is this twin pack ready to use out of the box?
A: Absolutely! The UH615-2 Max includes 2 complete radios with 6 x AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (3 per radio, pre-installed), 1 AC adaptor for mains charging, 2 USB-C cables for portable charging, plus mounting accessories. Simply charge the batteries and start communicating immediately with extreme 10+km range.
Q: Can both radios use voice scramble together?
A: Yes! Both radios feature compatible voice scramble technology. When enabled with matching scramble codes, your communications are encrypted preventing eavesdropping from other UHF users on the same channel for private long-distance communication.
Q: What's the real-world range with 1.5 Watt power?
A: The 10+km specification is line-of-sight range in open terrain. Real-world performance: open fields/beaches 8-10km, light forest 4-6km, dense vegetation/urban 2-4km, mountainous valleys variable. The 1.5W power significantly outperforms all lower-powered radios, especially for extreme-distance communication in challenging Australian outback conditions. Duplex repeater access extends range to 40+km depending on repeater location.
Q: Does the extra power drain batteries faster?
A: While 1.5W transmission uses more power than 500mW or 1W models during actual transmission, the 20+ hour rating reflects typical usage patterns (5% transmitting, 5% receiving, 90% standby). For extended remote adventures, the extra range often means fewer transmissions needed as you maintain reliable contact over greater distances. Included rechargeable batteries and dual USB-C charging provide flexible power management.
