1. What are the advantages of using walkie-talkies outdoors
Compared with the mobile phone, the biggest advantage of the walkie-talkie is that it is not restricted by the network, and relatively speaking, there will be no use fee for the mobile phone network. Therefore, for many industry users and outdoor travel friends, the fast-responsive and instant-talking walkie-talkie has become an indispensable tool for going out. With it, we can communicate with teammates or others within a certain range at any time.
However, compared to the various smart phones currently on the market, the volume of the walkie-talkie is relatively large, and the thicker body and longer antenna may not be so convenient for carrying and using when going out. In order to give those users who are new to walkie-talkies a good reference, this article will focus on showing how to carry and store walkie-talkies in different usage environments.
2. Use in different outdoor scenes
①Outdoor trekking adventure
Outdoors can be said to be the place where many people use walkie-talkies most frequently. Whether it is security patrols of industry users, or walking and mountaineering of travel friends, almost all of them are in this outdoor environment when using walkie-talkies. Therefore, how to firmly fix the walkie-talkie to our equipment while facilitating daily operation and use is very important.
1) At the shoulder strap of the backpack
Backpacks can be said to be an essential storage tool for most travellers in the outdoor environment, so for most people, the shoulder strap of the backpack is the best place to fix the walkie-talkie. With the fixing clip on the back of the walkie-talkie, it can be conveniently placed here. This position is very convenient to use whether it is voice calling or receiving, or basic operations in daily use.
Hanging the walkie-talkie on the belt can be said to be the preferred fixing method for many people. In addition to being very stable, the antenna on the upper part of the walkie-talkie will not affect our experience when outdoors. However, this method also has some drawbacks. For example, in some noisy environments, the sound from the speaker cannot be clearly heard. In this case, we can use a headset to solve it.
Self-driving travel is currently the preferred way for most people to relax on weekends or holidays. But for the limited space in the car, where should we put the walkie-talkie? At present, most vehicles do not provide a dedicated fixed storage space for mobile phones, so the placement of the walkie-talkie in the vehicle is also a big problem. How can the walkie-talkie be placed firmly and stably on the premise of ensuring driving safety?
(1) The walkie-talkie is not suitable for placing a walkie-talkie above the dashboard
If there is no anti-skid pad or special fixing slot, the top of the dashboard in the car is the most unsuitable place to place the walkie-talkie, because it is easy to make the walkie-talkie fall from above during driving, which will cause hidden dangers to driving safety.
(2) The front of the gear handle is not suitable for placement
As shown in the figure above, although some vehicles provide storage space under the center console, if the gear is closer to this storage space, it is also not suitable to put the walkie-talkie here. Due to the interference of the antenna, it is easy to make the walkie-talkie The antenna directly jams the gear lever, affecting normal driving.
(3) The door storage slot is not suitable for the driver
The door storage slot is also a place where some car owners often put their mobile phones, but although the location here is more convenient to take things compared to other locations, for car owners, the walkie-talkie anti-theft here will also affect driving. But if there are other people in the car, it will be safer and easier to put the walkie-talkie here.
(4) A headset is the best choice when driving
In addition to the in-car storage area described above, if you want to use the walkie-talkie more comfortably and conveniently without affecting driving safety, then choosing a headset with VOX function is your best choice. Just like a headset with a microphone, you don't need to be distracted by the operation when you use it. You can even send your voice easily by moving your mouth.
