Radio systems can be complex to configure, and many options and accessories are incompatible with each other. Please rest assured that if you do select incompatible options, we will talk to you and resolve the issues before we ship the equipment, it is in our interests to ensure that we deliver a fully working system. See the following guide for further information about selecting a system.

Radio configuration guide

If you have any queries about selecting the right equipment, please do not hesitate to contact us, we will more more than happy to help.

If you require the radios for Monday morning, for use until Friday night, we will deliver the Friday before and collect on the Monday after without charging extra. On a similar basis, we much prefer to deliver a day early, without additional hire charges to ensure that you have the equipment that you require in time for your event.

Walkie Talkies normally have a range that is best considered line of sight, if you have a large area to cover, or an indoor space with different rooms, you may need repeaters (which can be booked on the web-shop with your radios) or other technical help, so again please ask on 024 7660 2605 or via sales@mwc.co.uk.

The radios are normally dispatched with 16 Short Term Hire channels under our STH Licence. If you get interference on one channel, simply change to another channel. Interference can manifest itself as strange voices, intermittent transmissions or reduced range. This is normally more likely to occur in major cities or at large public events where there is other radio use. To prevent this, it is possible to hire a private frequency license with your order. Please see 'I need private channels for my event, what do I do?'.

Generally very good, 99% of our deliveries arrive on time, but please remember that couriers are funny animals, if a delivery is difficult, they may not deliver, so please do not ask for deliveries to be made to large fields or events where there are large number of people, or at strange times. Saturday deliveries are particularly difficult and troublesome. Please make arrangements for them to be delivered to your hotel, or better still to your offices an extra day before - we will not charge additional hire for this (see hire duration) as we would much prefer you to get your equipment in good time.

Please contact us as soon as possible, we cannot help or rectify matters if we are unaware of it. All hire equipment ships with an "out of hours" contact telephone number if help is needed.

Our website lists hire items priced for 1 week. If you require a longer period, please get in touch with us to discuss this. The same goes for hires that are extensive in terms of equipment or bespoke requirements. We recommend that you get in touch to dicuss these and make sure everything is correct, and we may be able to advise you on your configuration.

If it is critical that you have one or more private channels, please consider the option given of paying for private event licences - these cover 48 hour periods, and need not be for the entire duration of the hire. They will be programmed into the first and subsequent channels unless you specify otherwise. If it is not to be used for the entire hire period please let us know which days you wish the special license to operate on. You can buy this license on our webshop, by selecting the Ofcom license.

The web site details hire charges for 1 week. Discounts for longer hire periods and large quantities are available so please enquire by calling 024 7660 2605 or email sales@mwc.co.uk.
