Portable Two-Way Radios

Portable two-way radios for construction, security, retail, events and industrial teams across Australia.

Our handheld range spans entry-level UHF CB radios such as the Kenwood PKT-300 and GME TX6165, professional digital radios including the Motorola MOTOTRBO R7, Hytera BP512 and Delta DS300, and smart radios like the Motorola MOTOTRBO Ion and Hytera PDC680 that combine DMR with LTE.

When comparing models, look at the operating mode (analogue, DMR or push-to-talk over cellular), the IP rating for dust and water, battery life across a full shift, and whether you need a keypad and screen. Hazardous sites will need an intrinsically safe radio.

We program radios to your channels before dispatch and supply matching batteries, chargers and earpieces.

Portable two-way radios for professional communication

When you need instant, reliable communication on the move, nothing beats a portable two-way radio. Compact, versatile and built for demanding environments, handheld radios keep your team connected whether you’re working indoors, outdoors, on site or on the road.

Radio Industries offers a comprehensive range of portable radios from leading brands, trusted across construction, security, hospitality and events, retail, transport, mining and emergency management. Our radios are chosen for clear audio, rugged durability and long battery life.

Choose the right handheld radio

Licence-free UHF CB radios

Simple, ready-to-use radios on the 80 public UHF CB channels, such as the Kenwood PKT-300 and GME TX6165. See UHF radios.

Digital DMR business radios

Clearer audio, better battery life and private licensed channels with radios like the Motorola R7, Hytera BP512 and Delta DS300.

Push-to-talk over cellular

Smart radios such as the MOTOTRBO Ion and Hytera PDC680 add 4G push-to-talk for Australia-wide reach. See push-to-talk radios.

Intrinsically safe radios

Certified handhelds for mining, oil and gas and chemical sites where flammable gas or dust may be present. See intrinsically safe radios.

Features worth looking for

Beyond range and audio, many professional handhelds include features that make teams safer and more efficient:

GPS so a dispatcher can see where radios are
Bluetooth for wireless earpieces and headsets
Man down alerts that trigger if a radio is tilted or stops moving
Lone worker alerts that check in with staff working alone
IP67 or IP68 ratings for dust, rain and accidental submersion

Programmed, supported and ready to use

Tell us how your team works and we’ll recommend the right radio, program it to your channels before dispatch and supply matching batteries, chargers, earpieces and speaker mics. When something needs attention, our technicians handle servicing and repairs.

Need to cover a large site? Add a repeater, or ask about a private frequency licence for interference-free calls.

Portable Two-Way Radios FAQs

How far can a handheld two-way radio reach?

Handheld radios typically reach 3–5 km in built-up or bushy areas and further across open, flat ground with a clear line of sight. Buildings, hills and dense bush reduce range. A repeater or a push-to-talk over cellular radio extends coverage well beyond that.

Do I need a licence for a portable radio?

UHF CB radios on the 80 public channels are covered by the ACMA class licence, so no individual licence is needed. Commercial radios on a private channel need an apparatus licence from the ACMA. We can arrange private frequency licences for you.

What is the difference between analogue and digital (DMR) radios?

Analogue radios are simple and widely compatible. Digital DMR radios give clearer audio at the edge of coverage, longer battery life, two calls on one channel and features like text messaging, GPS and privacy. Many DMR radios can also work in analogue mode during a changeover.

Can you program the radios before they arrive?

Yes. Tell us your channels, or what your team needs, and we can program your radios before dispatch so they are ready to use.

Which accessories do I need?

Most teams add a spare battery or multi-bay charger and an earpiece or speaker mic for noisy or discreet work. Accessories are model-specific, so check our connector chart or ask us to match them to your radio.
