Talk from the truck to the crew on the roof without yelling over the compressor or climbing down. 15 watts (5-watt low setting), IP67 sealed against dust and water, automatic noise canceling, 22 GMRS + 8 repeater channels and 154 privacy codes, PA and intercom, and NOAA weather alerts. The hideaway base unit tucks out of sight and runs off a DC vehicle adapter.
Using GMRS in the US needs an FCC license: no test, $35 for 10 years, and one license covers your immediate family. Anyone outside your family needs their own.

Crew radios over cell networks
Five push-to-talk radios that talk over 4G LTE or WiFi instead of radio range, so a crew spread across town (or across job sites) can still reach each other. Each one comes with a pre-installed SIM card, GPS and an SOS button, in an IP67 case that floats if it gets dropped in water.
Needs cell or WiFi coverage to work. Check the current price, coverage and platform terms on Amazon before ordering.
