• AES256 vs. ARC4: Which Encryption Protects Your Two-Way Radio Audio better?

  

  Jun 05, 2026

  In two-way radio communications, unencrypted audio can be intercepted by anyone with a scanner. Proper encryption scrambles your voice so only users with the matching key can understand it. But not all encryption is equal. Let’s compare AES256 and ARC4—the two most common algorithms in modern radios. How AES256 Encrypts Your Audio AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the global gold standard, approved by the U.S. NIST and used by governments and militaries. AES256 is a block cipher that processes audio in 128‑bit blocks using a 256‑bit key. The key space is 2²⁵⁶—a number so vast that even supercomputers would take trillions of years to crack it. Most professional digital radios (DMR, P25) implement AES256 with authenticated modes like GCM, which also verify data in...

• What to Do If Your Walkie-Talkie Gets Submerged in Water

  

  Jun 04, 2026

  Water ingress is one of the leading causes of portable two-way radio failure. Whether the device is dropped into a puddle, caught in heavy rain, or fully submerged, the difference between salvageable damage and total loss often comes down to the first few minutes. This guide outlines a practical, step-by-step recovery process. Step 1: Retrieve and power off immediately Remove the radio from water as quickly as possible. Press and hold the power button to shut it down. Do not attempt to test if it still works while wet—pressing any key may trigger a short circuit. If the radio was transmitting at the moment of submersion, internal damage can occur almost instantly, but immediate shutdown still improves the odds.   Step 2: Remove the battery For models with a detachable battery,...

• Are FRS Units Legal? Every International Buyers Need to Know

  

  May 29, 2026

  If you source two-way radios for North America, you’ve likely wondered: Are FRS radios actually legal? The answer is a clear yes — when built to spec, FRS units are completely legal and require no user license. Here’s what you need to know to sell them with confidence.   What Is FRS? FRS stands for Family Radio Service. It’s a set of frequencies reserved by the FCC (U.S.) and ISED (Canada) for low-power, short-range consumer radios. The key appeal: they’re licensed by rule, meaning the radio itself meets the legal standard, so the end user is free to operate it straight out of the box. What Makes an FRS Radio Legal? A legitimate FRS unit must be certified and carry an FCC ID (or ISED number). It will have a permanently fixed antenna, operate only on the...
