Although you may like to have your own kit it is definitely worth considering radio hire first. The chances are it will save you money.

One of the great benefits of radio hire is that if you are hiring radio equipment you are likely to be using up to date technology. This allows you to have use of all the latest features and obviously the best communication possible. If you are buying equipment you will struggle to be able to afford to upgrade to the latest model each time.

Another money saving benefit to hiring equipment is that you can cancel the hire at any time and save money. You will need to be aware of the details of any contract you sign though in case they have a minimum hire time.

Depending on the length of time that you need the two-way radios for, renting them can become an even more attractive option financially. If, say, you require them for a team of builders on a single construction project that is likely to take just a few weeks, there's no point shelling out on equipment that will become surplus to requirement when the build is over.

With hiring, you also avoid the need for the initial capital to purchase the products outright, which avoids a large outgoing for you. Whilst a long term project may not be as cost effective as a short term one (because the hire cost mounts up each month), it can be very useful to have steady monthly outgoings and the ability to halt the payments if need be.

One thing you won't get if you purchase radios is technical support. Tech support is very useful for electronic equipment because the inner workings can be quite complicated. If you are using the walkie talkies for an event, you will need support in case you have problems working them. It's easier to call your friendly hire company so that they can talk you through it than trawling through the web looking for advice.

Of course if the problem is not user error with your two-way radio, if you still can't get it to work you will require another one. Quick replacement of faulty equipment is possible with a hire company. They often have out of hours numbers to call to give you the back up and peace of mind that you need. If you buy from a shop, you need the shop to be open to be able to take it back, and you will need your receipt too, whereas the hire company will already have you on their records and will have spares in stock for that situation.

Additionally, when hiring two-way radios, the general servicing and repair of them is paid for by the hire company. This saves you even more money.

You will usually have to leave a deposit in case of damage to the equipment but this is usual for the hire of any equipment and it's not a problem if you look after the radios when you are loaned them.

If you need a two-way radio, think carefully about whether radio hire is a better option for you. Chances are, it will be.

Companies hiring radios are easy to find, simply do a Google search on something like 'radio hire Wiltshire'.

MSpot probably have the answer to the “silo-ization” of our music experience...

having a first-of-its-kind service that combines an online locker where one can store music downloads inside cloud; a music subscription that permits you to stream pretty much whatever you want (with around Ten million tracks at launch and much more to come); and a streaming radio service that plays artist stations.

"Instead of flipping from iTunes to Spotify to Pandora, you can find everything in one place,” said Daren Tsui. “This is all about combining three different experiences and becoming something much bigger than the amount of the parts, because the music can expand itself. The service is mobile - with PC, iOS, as well as other devices added, so all of your music really is on all devices.

“We thought, let’s put together a service where consumers don’t need to pay three different times,” he added. “It’s tough enough to get consumers to pay for music, but imagine paying $9.99 monthly for a subscription, another $25 a year for iTunes Match, another [$36 per year] for Pandora without ads. That’s nuts.”

Tsui was cagey about how much mSpot’s 3-in-1 service, currently in a very “proof of concept” phase, will cost - apart from saying “essentially, you get three services without having more.”

In addition to simplifying pricing, the brand new mSpot (codename: Aria) will allow music fans to add the gaps caused by artists including the Beatles refusing to license their music to streaming services like Spotify. In those cases, fans could possibly get that music from iTunes, Amazon, and other sources of downloads, and incorporate it to their music service themselves, by just uploading it to their mSpot locker.

“There continue to be quite a few artists that have elected not to participate in a subscription services, and that means you can’t get their songs on, say, Spotify,” said Tsui. “And now their are new artists that don’t desire to put their albums up. In those scenarios, you can not have a cloud experience. Having a locker, you can absolutely do that. Also, I’m fairly into music, where you can few DJ friends who put together 30-minute, hour-long mixes. I love them. They’re not really available [from subscription services] because they’re not license-able. In that scenario, the cloud locker works very, adequately.”

In addition, the 3-in-1 nature of mSpot’s upcoming service allows each service to inform the others, unlike using three separate companies for any a locker, subscription, and radio.

“Regardless of where you’re listening to your music, whether it’s in the locker, from the subscription, or in the radio, we know,” said Tsui. “And so when we recommend songs, it’s going to be relevant to your taste… Let’s say I’m listening to a Lady Gaga song from my locker… there’s just a little lightbulb icon which means discovery and recommendation. You click on that, and it takes the song that you’re currently listening to and it will recommend other artists in the ten-million-song catalog. Another category will recommend various internet radio stations.”

First off, mSpot plans to roll out this proof of concept for trial testing. If this does become available to the public, it will include a free trial and are powered by Android and the web. Tsui told Evolver.fm this is because mSpot wants to “go where there’s maximum pain” from the consumer, but that iOS as well as other platforms will follow shortly after that. To draw in mainstream consumers, mSpot hopes to partner with wireless carriers and/or device manufacturers use a co-branded or white-label version of the service.

Granted, mSpot lacks the mirroring feature that allows Apple iCloud to zap songs onto its servers based on metadata instead of transferring your files themselves. But once you get the bulk of your collection uploaded into its system, keeping that collection updated is rather simple. And the simplicity of utilizing one app for a locker, subscription, and radio does sound simpler than using each kind in an isolated fashion.

“The question of ‘rent’ versus ‘buy’ goes away,” added Tsui. “They now coexist. If you’re using one app rather than three, it is easier to buy music because you know where to find it. Purchases always are now living in the music app, on all devices.”

Up to now, mSpot counts over two million downloads of the iPhone and Android apps - and that’s only for the 2-in-1 music locker plus radio feature. Given that it plans to add a subscription to that mix, it should become a lot more potent, writes tagza.

These radios come with a variety of different internal and external accessories that can be applied to the radios for different uses.

Communications have come a long way since the first portable radios were invented during World War II. They were used at that time to keep units connected to the higher command structure. Since the day they were invented, these radios have become more compact and much more advanced than being mere walkie talkies. Manufactures have realized the value in communication at a long range and how useful it can be.

There are different levels of protection offered in waterproofing a walkie talkie. Some of these products are able to be outfitted with a protective case which serves as a barrier between the radio and the water. A waterproof case can also be used to protect cell phones depending on their square or round shape.

Other types of waterproof radios are directly resistant to liquids and water damage. Like a diving watch, hard casing and tight seals do not allow water to penetrate the outer casing and get to the vital circuitry. However, a waterproof radio is usually only resistant to splashing water as full immersion will still cause the radio to break. For this circumstance, it is a good rule of thumb to get a case for all electronics.

Aquapac waterproof cases and bags are each examples of a company that markets these items for protecting electronic devices. Because walkie talkies are important pieces of hardware and need to be protected, a person can buy and individual protection piece which molds around the device itself. These waterproof radios operate on a VHF frequency making them equal in power to non-waterproof gear.

Breaking electronics such as cell phone, watch, or radio while on a canoeing trip, at a water park, or even from heavy rain while outdoors is a thing of the past when using waterproof packaging. Waterproof walkie talkies ensure that communication lines stay open in damp areas. By choosing to use a waterproof walkie talkie, a person gets the same quality machine with added protection.
