That’s why Oricom’s UHF handheld radios are engineered specifically for the challenges of Australian outdoor life. Whether you’re crossing the Outback, navigating mountain trails, or coordinating an off-road convoy, Oricom offers handheld radios that deliver strong, dependable performance when mobile networks fall short.

Our radios are made with the real world in mind, where dust, rain, heat, and rough handling are everyday events. From the casing materials to the internal components, everything is selected with durability in mind. Many models feature weather-resistant or dustproof ratings, providing peace of mind regardless of the conditions you face.

Whether you're hiking in national parks, 4WD touring in the bush, or managing work in regional areas, Oricom's two-way radios offer more than just basic communication. They provide a secure and private channel between people, wherever they are.

Unlike imported models that aren’t built for local needs, Oricom's radios are designed right here in Australia. We understand the distances, the weather, and the demands of regional work and travel. Our gear isn’t just robust, it’s also practical, with thoughtful accessories and user-friendly features that reflect local insight.

From long-range signal clarity to simple controls and rugged durability, Oricom’s UHF handheld radios give you confidence that your voice will be heard even when there’s no reception and no backup.

Choosing the Right UHF Handheld Radio for Outdoor and Professional Use

Selecting the right UHF handheld radio can make a real difference in both outdoor adventures and professional environments. Whether you’re preparing for a multi-day hike or coordinating logistics across a worksite, your radio should match your specific needs, offering a balance of power, reliability, ease of use, and durability.

At Oricom, we design every model to deliver on what Australians value most: dependable two-way communication, clear sound quality, and rugged build quality that performs under pressure. With so many features and models available, here’s how to choose a radio that works for your situation.

1. Range and Transmission Power

In outdoor and remote settings, having a radio with strong transmission power is essential. In Australia, In vehicle radios are made to output at 5 Watt. Handheld radios will vary, from 5W, 2W, 1W and 0.5W versions. The more output power, the greater the transmission power.

2. Battery Life and Power Options

Long days outdoors or on the job site demand a radio that won’t cut out halfway through. Oricom handheld radios are known for long battery life, energy-efficient settings, and flexible charging options. You’ll find models that support rechargeable packs, standard batteries, and fast-charge options to suit any activity.

3. Build Quality and Durability

Australia’s conditions can be tough. Hot summers, heavy rain, dusty roads, and accidental drops are common. That’s why durability is non-negotiable. Many Oricom radios feature diecast casings, sealed buttons, and weather protection to handle the extremes.

4. Ease of Use and Accessibility

Whether you're a first-time user or seasoned radio operator, controls should be simple and intuitive. Oricom models are designed with large, tactile buttons, backlit screens, and easy channel management.

5. Accessories and Add-Ons

Accessories can make your radio setup more efficient. Oricom offers a wide selection of add-ons, including belt clips, earpieces, and carry cases, all tested for compatibility and ease of use.

6. Local Design, Local Support

Oricom has over two decades of experience serving Australians with communication tools that work. Our radios are backed by local support and come with features built for the way we live, travel, and work. You’ll find models that stand up to major competitors, offering the same reliability with practical features, easier navigation, and often better value.

Durability and Performance: Built for Tough Australian Conditions

In Australia, weather can change fast, terrain can be punishing, and mobile coverage is unreliable at best. That’s why dependable gear isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. Oricom’s UHF handheld radios are purpose-built for these conditions, combining rugged construction with high-performance features that keep you connected no matter where you are.

Whether you're driving through red dirt tracks, setting up a remote worksite, or camping along the coast, Oricom’s radios are designed to perform when it counts.

Built for the Elements

Australia’s climate ranges from searing heat to coastal humidity and sudden downpours. Oricom radios are made to handle all of it. Some models include:

• Weather-resistant housing and sealed components
• Shockproof casings designed to withstand drops and rough use
• Dust-resistant construction, ideal for desert and inland areas

When you’re deep in the bush or on a site where dust and rain are constant challenges, the last thing you want is equipment that can’t cope. Oricom radios are engineered with materials and build quality that protect your signal and your safety.

Powerful Transmission for Clear Communication

Power isn’t just about battery life, it’s also about maintaining strong, clear signals. Oricom two-way radios are designed with powerful transmitters that perform reliably across varying terrain. Whether you're navigating hilly regions, thick forest, or urban obstacles, your radio should deliver voice clarity without dropouts.

This clarity is especially important for team coordination, emergency alerts, or checking in with other convoy members when visibility is low or you’re spread across a wide area.

Remember always - elevation is the friend of range. The higher you are, the better your range will be. Line of site is key!

Long Battery Life You Can Count On

Battery life can make or break your experience with a handheld radio. Oricom radios are built for efficiency and endurance, with some models offering:

• Rechargeable batteries
• Compatibility with AA or AAA batteries
• Quick-swap battery packs for minimal downtime
• Power-saving modes and visible battery indicators

When you're hiking, camping, or working long shifts, having the option to carry spares or charge from a vehicle keeps you prepared. You won’t need to cut the day short just to find a charger or worry about losing contact mid-journey.

Rugged Accessories That Support You

Durability doesn’t stop with the radio itself. Oricom offers a full range of accessories designed for hard use. These include:

• Secure belt clips for easy, on-the-move access
• Durable carry cases that protect your gear in transport
• Hands-free earpieces and headsets for safety and discretion

Each accessory is tested to work in tandem with Oricom radios and provide added value, especially for professionals in construction, logistics, and outdoor trades.

Why Oricom Stands Out

While other brands may be more well known, Oricom continues to impress by combining robust Australian design with practical, everyday usability. These aren’t radios made for showrooms. They’re made for the dust, rain, and hard knocks of real Aussie life. From weekend campers to emergency responders, users trust Oricom because they know the radios work when it matters most.

When you're working or exploring in the harshest environments, the last thing you should worry about is your gear. Oricom’s UHF handheld radios give you confidence that your signal is strong, your voice is heard, and your connection is solid, no matter what the day throws your way.

Clear and Reliable Communication: The Role of UHF Radio Technology

When you’re off-grid, in the bush, or on a job site, communication becomes more than just convenient. It becomes essential. UHF handheld radios offer clear, immediate connection where phones fail. At Oricom, we understand that clear voice transmission, fast updates, and dependable reception can mean the difference between safety and stress. That’s why our handheld radios use UHF CB technology designed for real-world Australian conditions.

What Makes UHF Technology So Reliable?

UHF (Ultra High Frequency) operates on a different wavelength than mobile or Wi-Fi networks. This means UHF radios can transmit clearly over shorter distances, even through dense bushland, buildings, or rocky terrain, without relying on external infrastructure like mobile towers.

• Direct line-of-contact means instant, one-button communication
• Independent of mobile networks—works even when phones can’t
• Clearer signal in built-up or heavily vegetated environments
• Easy to use for people of all experience levels

Smart Features That Improve Everyday Communication

Oricom radios go beyond basic walkie-talkies. They’re packed with smart features designed to keep communication smooth and straightforward in every situation. Oricom’s UHF handheld range includes:

• High-output speakers so you never miss a message
• Dual watch functionality to monitor two channels at once
• Channel scanning to find open frequencies quickly
• Instant Replay - Listen back to missed transmissions at the click of a button.
• Keypad locks and custom channel settings for added safety

Built-In Adaptability

No two users are the same. Which is why Oricom offers versatility built into every radio. Many models can be customised to suit different needs, from solo adventurers to teams on the job.

Need hands-free access while driving? Use an earpiece or headset. Want to keep your radio within easy reach? Attach it to your gear with a rugged belt clip. These accessories make it easy to adapt your radio to any setting or task.

Power That Lasts the Distance

It’s not just the signal that needs to last. The power supply does too. Oricom handheld UHF radios are built with battery performance in mind. You can expect:

• Long usage on a single charge
• Quick charging options via USB or car charger
• Backup support for disposable batteries
• Real-time battery level indicators
