There are many advantages to equipping event staff with walkie talkies. Having a line of communication that is one-to-many keeps work teams connected, more efficient, and can even save lives of those attending your event. When looking to rent, here are a few important questions to ask yourself in order to properly equip your team.

Which radio should I rent?

Coverage, usage, and personal preference all come in to play when looking to rent. Due to its size, the **[EVX-S24](https://www.radioresource.com/motorola/motorola-evx-s24.htm)** radio is the most popular radio and is easy to use. The **[CP200d](https://www.radioresource.com/motorola/motorola-cp200d.htm)** is also another good option and will give you extended coverage. For larger events, the **[XPR7550e](https://www.radioresource.com/motorola/motorola-xpr7550e.htm)** is a durable option that gives users more options when it comes to their system setup.

Will my staff need radio accessories?

Quite often staff members will need to use a radio hands-free. There are many options users have when renting with **[Radio Resource](https://www.radioresource.com/)**. Speaker mics work great for users on the go looking for a rugged solution. Surveillance kits offer a lightweight and discreet look for staff members looking for an in-ear option.

Will I need a repeater for extended communication?

Some larger events may require repeaters to expand coverage of their radios. Renting a repeater and setting it up is quick and easy with our rental fleet. Some large bike races or events in multiple buildings can benefit from renting a repeater as well. Coverage will depend on the geographic location, topography, and event type. Ask our rental team here if suggestions are needed and check out our **[YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3rqeytlY6lwIjuqac7_dWg)** page to see how to set up a Radio Resource rental repeater and get radio usage tips.
