As we move to a more digital way of life, it’s easy to forget about radio systems. But there are numerous benefits to making the change to radio, and there are lots of different options. A radio system doesn’t just mean an AM/FM radio, there are two way radios, portable ones, and more. Here are the top 5 best radio systems available today.

1. Outdoor Radios
If you love spending time in the great outdoors, you’ll most likely want some form of entertainment along the way. Using a mobile phone to stream content doesn’t always hold up when you’re in the middle of the woods camping for the weekend. But with an outdoor, portable radio you’ll be able to pick up signals anywhere. Mobile phones also aren’t as durable, but outdoor radios are designed for a bit of wear and tear. You can find many that are water-resistant too which means getting caught in an unexpected shower won’t cause damage.
2. Jobsite Radios
Working on a construction site can be very noisy, so any radio would have to be a lot louder than normal. This is where jobsite radios come in. They’re resistant to flying debris and dust and are loud enough to be heard without compromising on sound quality. Some have a compact design too which allows them to be easily transported from one site to another. Jobsite radios can also run off power tool batteries, which makes powering them very easy and there’s no trip hazard with wires lying about.
3. DAB Radios
DAB radios offer a larger selection of stations to listen to due to them picking up digital signals. You also don’t need to scan frequencies to find your favourite station either. They work similarly to a TV remote and show the name of the station you’re on. Some DAB radios offer Wi-Fi and Bluetooth options to give a bigger library of stations.
4. Car Radios
Most people won’t change their car radio until it stops working, but with lots of different options out there, it might be time to consider it. Car radios can do more than broadcast your typical AM/FM stations. There are models now that can fully integrate with your mobile phone and be voice-activated. There’s also the choice of them having a full, digital touchscreen display, which makes them easier to clean and see at night.
5. Two Way Radios
Two way radios are a reliable alternative to mobile phones and they’re more adaptable. You can utilise them in so many different ways, it’s hard not to love them. Whether you need a more efficient way for your staff to communicate on the shop floor or heading off for a hike but want to ensure you can keep in contact with the rest of the world, a two way radio keeps communication open. Many have features such as GPS and emergency alerts too, making them a nifty piece of kit that holds up against the latest mobile phones.
