The Armed Forces of Ukraine standard is a high-security encrypted communication with an AES256 key that cannot be wiretapped, and the decryption of the recording by the enemy takes several days. Therefore, pay attention to the availability of the AES256 encryption key in the walkie-talkie delivery kit. If there is no encryption key, you need to buy it separately.
The communication range of portable and mobile radio stations primarily depends on the height of the antenna and the topography of the area. The power of the transmitters of modern personal digital radio stations is almost the same. Therefore, to increase the range is to raise the antenna. Long antennas significantly improve communication.
Mobile radio stations are designed for installation on armored vehicles and automobiles. There are various types of mounts for cables and antennas. Order the mounts only after consulting with the military.
The Defense Forces of Ukraine use digital radio stations of different frequency ranges. Important! Before ordering military-grade walkie-talkies, ask the servicemen what frequency range they need to operate in, and what model with which letters and numbers they need to be purchased.
If lithium batteries are installed in a personal radio, it’s important to be aware that they fail in frost. At sub-zero temperatures, the walkie-talkie should be kept close to the body so that it does not freeze. When freezing, a lithium battery will discharge almost instantly. If warm storage is not possible, standard NiCad batteries are required.
Motorola DM4600/DM4601 digital mobile radios and Motorola DP4400/4800/4401/4801 personal radios are the most commonly used by the Armed Forces. These types of walkie-talkies have the same receiver and encryption but differ significantly in form factor, display, and the number of communication channels.
When ordering other types of radios, you should consult with military communications experts in detail.
Only the communication experts of the unit, in which the device will be used, should program the walkie-talkies. There is no need to program radio stations before handing them over to the military.
We recommend purchasing an additional battery for personal radios.
