How far can I expect the range to be with an Oricom Handheld UHF CB Radio?
When using any radio, no matter the brand or output power, there are some rules to remember: the range of your radio is most effective when there's a direct line-of-sight between radios, and any obstructions, like buildings or terrain, can reduce range. Elevation is the friend of range, so the higher you are, the greater the range you will receive.
The Oricom DTX600 is the highest allowed output power for a fixed mount or Handheld UHF CB radio in Australia (5 Watt). By definition, that means it will offer the greatest range possible when paired with the right environment, elevation and antenna. But how does it compare to other radios in the market? A 2-Watt radio typically offers about half the range of a 5 Watt, and a 1 Watt radio has even less, making the Oricom DTX600 the ideal choice for extended range and the premium offering for those going out bush.
For the best performance, ensuring a clear, unobstructed path is key and try to get the radio as high as you can!
Are Oricom Handheld UHF Radios waterproof or weatherproof?
Many of Oricom’s handheld UHF radios are designed with durability in mind, offering water-resistant or waterproof features to ensure reliable performance even in tough weather conditions. Look for the DTX600 model, as that is the premium waterproof offering including IP67 waterproof rating. Always check the product specifications to confirm the specific weatherproof rating of the model you're considering.
