Being too Frugal Negates the Usefulness of Walkies
We've all been there. Spending money is never the desirable thing to do. Many practices will buy the cheapest radios they can find online, or refuse to let go of walkies that have long outlived their usefulness.
What many never realize in these scenarios is that a lot of the time saved by using wireless Push-To-Talk communication can be completely voided. Teammates having to repeat themselves, users having to mess around with old units because they're finnicky, or failing circuitry that is eating batteries or losing range are some of the issues that can add up to hours wasted.
As the leading provider of dental radio communication, Black Diamond Radio has seen it all. We know when a radio is done for, even if "it still works!" Sometimes the equipment you use is silently absorbing loads of time you don't know about or realize, and that's why we always recommend avoiding cheap walkies, and replacing old ones on a schedule.
You made the very intelligent decision to invest in radio communication for your practice, and it was a great choice. Don't let the pitfalls of using cheap or old radios negatively impact your bottom line.
