Shockproof walkie-talkies

Shockproof

— the presence of housing in the walkie-talkie allows the device to withstand stronger shocks and falls without consequences than models with conventional housing can withstand. This function is worth paying attention to if you plan to use the walkie-talkie in adverse conditions where there is a corresponding risk — for example, in hiking, construction, military, etc. Such models have the American military standard MIL-STD-810. It imposes quite stringent requirements on the test subjects: the level of resistance of the product to impacts during falls and shakes is checked, vibration tests are carried out, the operation of the device is tested in a wide temperature range, in the rain, in fog, under the influence of sand, dust, etc. However, the MIL-STD-810 label in “civilian” products does not always mean the highest degree of protection. This is due to the lack of strict regulation of testing. Thus, the most cunning vendors test the gadgets according to literally one or two points of the program from an extensive list and often deliberately do not disclose which tests were passed. Accordingly, the specific features of such protection remain reliably unknown. The standard has been in force since 1962. Each new version of it is indicated by a letter of the Latin alphabet at the end. The further the letter in the alphabet, the more modern the version of the certificate. Since 2008, the MIL-STD-810G specification has been in force everywhere, and in 2019 a new edition of the MIL-STD-810H standard was approved.
