Push-to-talk two-way radios have IP ratings that let consumers know how resistant to elements they are.

IP stands for ingress protection. The IP rating of a two-way radio consists of two digits.

• The first digit describes a two-way radio’s resistance against solid elements, like sand and rocks.
• The second digit describes the resistance to water.
