A construction jobsite two-way radio is used for communication between project managers and workers on the jobsite.
Usually hand-held portable radios fit this need nicely. Unfortunately, with many handheld two-way radios there are so many people on the frequency they use, you may get interference from users from miles around. Since they have such a long range, you can pick up conversations from everywhere.
Not too long ago the FCC created an unlicensed Citizens Band radio spectrum called the MURS service. MURS stands for Multi-Use Radio Service. MURS is in the VHF (Very High Frequency) 150 MHz Citizens Band radio spectrum. It is a very uncrowded frequency.
The good news about MURS two-way radios for use the jobsite is that they have enough power to handle the largest construction sites, but not so much power that they pick up conversations from 20 miles away. They also have quiet codes that enable you to only pick up conversations from other radios programmed with the same code.
Another good thing about MURS is that not only are their job site two-way radios, but also base-station intercoms and callboxes that you can place on the jobsite. You can place the base stations on desktops in the project trailer and the callboxes at various locations where someone can make calls without having to carry a two-way radio.
