Choosing the right two-way radio comes down to four key questions: how will you use them, how far do they need to reach, what environment will they operate in, and what features matter most. Use the steps below as a starting point, or speak with our team for a tailored recommendation.
Understand Your Use Case
Start with who will be using the radios and what they need them for. A small retail team coordinating a sales floor has very different needs to a construction crew working across a multi-storey build or a security team operating across a venue.
Ask yourself: How many people will use the radios? Will teams need to talk to each other or stay on separate channels? Is this for daily operations or occasional events?
Not sure about your use case? Talk to our teamMap Your Coverage Area
Coverage requirements determine whether handheld portable radios alone are enough, or whether you need mobile radios, repeaters, or a wider-area solution like WAVE PTX over cellular. Handheld radios typically cover up to a few hundred metres in built-up areas and up to several kilometres in open spaces.
Ask yourself: How large is your site? Will you communicate across multiple buildings or floors? Do you need coverage across cities, states, or nationwide?
Need help mapping your coverage? Get a site assessmentIdentify Your Environment
The operating environment dictates how rugged the radio needs to be and whether you require specialist certifications. Construction and mining sites need IP-rated dust and water resistance. Hazardous areas with flammable gases or combustible dust require intrinsically safe radios certified to IECEx, ATEX or UL TIA-4950 standards.
Ask yourself: Will radios be exposed to dust, water, drops or extreme temperatures? Are there hazardous zones on site? Will users need to hear clearly in high-noise environments?
Operating in a tough environment? Speak to a specialistMatch the Right Features
Modern two-way radios offer features well beyond basic voice communication, including emergency calling, lone worker alerts, GPS tracking, Bluetooth accessory pairing, encryption and integration with dispatch systems like TRBOnet. The right features depend on your safety, compliance and operational needs.
Ask yourself: Do you need lone worker or man-down safety features? Encrypted communications? Integration with dispatch software or existing systems?

Get a Tailored RecommendationUnderstanding Your Two-Way Radio Options
Two-way radios come in a range of frequencies, technologies and certifications. The right choice depends on where you're using them, who needs to communicate, and what compliance standards apply to your site. Here's a plain-English breakdown of the main options.
Frequency
UHF vs VHF Radios
UHF (Ultra High Frequency) and VHF (Very High Frequency) describe the radio wave band a two-way radio operates on. The right choice depends almost entirely on where the radios will be used.
UHF Radios
Better for built-up environments. UHF signals penetrate walls, buildings, concrete and steel more effectively, making them the standard choice for construction sites, warehouses, hotels, retail venues, hospitals and most urban or industrial settings in Australia.
Shop UHF Radios →VHF Radios
Better for open environments. VHF signals travel further across open ground with line-of-sight, making them suitable for farming, open mining, marine use, and large outdoor sites with minimal obstruction.
Shop VHF Radios →Our recommendation: For the majority of Australian business applications, UHF is the better choice. Our team can confirm the right band based on your specific site conditions.
Technology
Analog vs Digital Radios
Analog has been the standard for decades and remains common in simple operations. Digital radios (most commonly using the DMR standard) offer clearer audio, more channels, longer battery life and advanced features like text messaging, GPS and encryption.
Analog Radios
Simple, cost-effective and reliable. Audio quality gradually degrades as you move toward the edge of coverage. A practical choice for small teams with basic communication needs and minimal interference concerns.
Shop Analog Radios →Digital Radios (DMR)
Clear audio that holds up across the full coverage area, twice the channel capacity per frequency, integrated GPS, lone worker and text features, and built-in encryption options. The preferred choice for professional and safety-critical operations.
Shop Digital Radios →Our recommendation: If you're investing in a new fleet, digital DMR is the future-proof choice. Most leading manufacturers, including Motorola, Kenwood & Hytera, now lead with digital models.
Compliance
Licensed vs Unlicensed Radios
In Australia, two-way radios are regulated by the ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority). Whether you need a licence depends on the frequencies your radios use.
Licence-Free (UHF CB)
UHF Citizen Band (CB) radios operate on 80 shared channels and don't require an individual licence. They're suitable for casual use, small teams and short-range communication, but channels are public and shared with other users.
Shop UHF CB Radios →Licensed Business Radios
Operating on dedicated business frequencies under an ACMA apparatus licence gives you exclusive channel use, far better interference protection, and access to professional features like encryption, repeaters and trunking. This is the standard for commercial and government operations.
Shop Licensed Radios →Our recommendation: As an ACMA-accredited supplier, Digicom Wireless arranges licensing on your behalf when you buy or hire licensed equipment. We'll handle the paperwork and ensure your setup is fully compliant.
Wide-Area
Radio over Cellular (WAVE PTX & PoC)
Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) devices look and operate like two-way radios, but transmit over 4G and 5G mobile networks instead of traditional radio frequencies. This means coverage anywhere there's a mobile signal — across cities, states or nationwide.
WAVE PTX Devices
Purpose-built push-to-talk handsets running on Motorola's WAVE PTX platform, including the TLK 110 and TLK 150. Ideal for transport fleets, multi-site operations, lone workers and security teams needing nationwide coverage.
Learn more about WAVE PTX →PoC & Hybrid Systems
WAVE PTX also lets mobile phones and traditional two-way radios connect to the same communication group, bridging different teams across multiple locations. A flexible choice when your operation needs both worlds.
Discuss Hybrid Setup →Best for: Multi-site operations, transport and logistics fleets, lone workers, security teams covering wide areas, and any operation that needs reliable communication beyond the range of a traditional radio system.
Hazardous Areas
Intrinsically Safe Radios
Intrinsically safe (IS) radios are engineered to limit electrical and thermal energy so they cannot ignite flammable gases, vapours or combustible dust, even in a fault condition. They're certified to international standards including IECEx, ATEX and UL TIA-4950.
IECEx & ATEX Radios
Certified for use in Zone 0, 1, 2, 20, 21 and 22 hazardous areas. Required for safe operation in oil and gas, petrochemical, refining, mining, chemical processing and grain handling environments.
Shop Intrinsically Safe Radios →Learn More First
Not sure which certification standard applies to your site, or what zone classification you're working with? Our intrinsically safe guide breaks down IECEx, ATEX, UL TIA-4950 and the different hazardous area zones in detail.
Read the IS Guide →Our recommendation: Let our team know your site's zone classification and we'll match the right Motorola, Hytera or Entel intrinsically safe radio, including matching IECEx and ATEX certified accessories.

Discuss Your Dispatch Needs →Two-Way Radio Buying FAQs
Common questions about purchasing two-way radios in Australia. Can't find the answer you're looking for? Our team is happy to help.
How much do two-way radios cost in Australia?
Two-way radio prices in Australia range from around $100 for entry-level UHF CB handhelds to over $2,000 for high-end digital DMR or intrinsically safe radios. The final cost depends on the brand, whether the radio is analog or digital, the frequency band, any required certifications like IECEx or ATEX, and the accessories you need. Pre-configured packages and volume orders attract better pricing. For an accurate quote based on your operation, speak with our team or browse our online store for current pricing.
Do I need a licence to use two-way radios in Australia?
It depends on the frequency the radio operates on. UHF CB radios (Citizen Band) operate on 80 shared channels and do not require an individual licence, making them suitable for casual use and small teams. Licensed business radios operate on dedicated business frequencies under an ACMA apparatus licence, which gives you exclusive channel use and better interference protection. As an ACMA-accredited supplier, Digicom Wireless arranges licensing on your behalf when you purchase licensed equipment.
UHF or VHF — which is better for my business?
UHF (Ultra High Frequency) is better for built-up environments like construction sites, warehouses, hotels, retail venues and most urban or industrial settings, because UHF signals penetrate walls, buildings and steel structures more effectively. VHF (Very High Frequency) is better for open environments with line-of-sight communication, like farms, open mining sites, marine use or large outdoor areas with minimal obstructions. For most Australian business applications, UHF is the better choice.
Should I buy analog or digital two-way radios?
For most new investments in 2026, digital DMR radios are the better choice. Digital radios deliver clearer audio across the full coverage area, twice the channel capacity per frequency, longer battery life, and built-in features like GPS, text messaging, lone worker alerts and encryption. Analog remains a valid choice for simple operations with small teams and minimal interference concerns. Most major manufacturers including Motorola and Hytera now lead with digital models.
Which two-way radio brands do you sell?
Digicom Wireless is a Motorola Solutions Platinum Channel Partner, so Motorola sits at the centre of our range. We also supply Hytera, Kenwood, Vertex, Icom, Sonim, Telox and other leading brands where project requirements call for alternative platforms or features. Our team can recommend the right brand based on your industry, operating environment, budget and any integration requirements with existing systems.
How far do two-way radios reach?
Handheld two-way radio range depends on the radio's power output, the frequency band, antenna design and the environment. In built-up urban areas with obstructions, expect a few hundred metres up to around one kilometre. In open outdoor terrain with line-of-sight, handhelds can reach several kilometres. For wider coverage, mobile radios, repeaters and WAVE PTX over cellular extend communication across cities, states and nationwide.
Do you supply two-way radios pre-programmed?
Yes. Every radio supplied by Digicom Wireless is fully programmed and ready to use on arrival. We configure your channels, talk groups, scan lists and any required features like emergency calling or lone worker alerts before dispatch, so your team can pick up the radios and start communicating straight away.
Can I buy two-way radios online or do I need to call?
Both. Our online store at shop.digicomwireless.com.au lets you browse and purchase a range of two-way radios, packages and accessories directly. For complex setups, multi-site coverage requirements, intrinsically safe applications, or anything requiring a tailored recommendation, give us a call on 1300 398 221 and our team will work through the right solution with you.
Do two-way radios come with a warranty?
Yes. All new two-way radios supplied by Digicom Wireless come with the full manufacturer warranty, which varies by brand and model. Motorola portables typically carry a two-year manufacturer warranty, with extended warranty options available. We handle warranty claims and repair turnaround on your behalf, so you don't need to deal directly with the manufacturer.
Do you ship two-way radios Australia-wide?
Yes. We dispatch two-way radios from our Sydney base to every state and territory across Australia, including metro areas, regional locations and remote mining, oil and gas, and industrial sites. Most orders are dispatched within one to two business days (depending on programming requirements). For Sydney metropolitan deliveries and urgent requirements, faster turnaround is often available.
