2 Way Radio Shop

In response to the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, 2Way Radio Shop are offering some guidelines in how to effectively clean and disinfect your two way radios and accessories.

After getting our hands on the Motorola CLP446, we were pleasantly surprised with was how compact and light the radio was after unpacking the box. The CLP446 is palm-sized and whilst we knew the radio was designed to be small and lightweight (weighing in at 85.3g), it was still a shock at how unobtrusive the radio felt when clipped onto your belt or clothing.

Two-way radios have been used since the 1930’s and we have seen some great innovation with them over their life cycle. What used to be a big clunky device, is now a small, digital, ergonomic piece of kit which can be easily held or clipped on to your clothing.

The latest radios from companies such as ‘Motorola Solutions’ have moved from analogue to digital technology allowing for many features to be added to the radio which would not be available with analogue radios.

'Quick and Easy Communications with All Your Teams Keeps Everyone Safe'

Organising a festival or a major event can be a logistical nightmare and extremely challenging. Months in the planning, hundreds if not thousands of attendees, perhaps multiple stages if it is a music festival or various different locations if it is an event dispersed over a wide area such as a park run.

This is all before you start to consider how to communicate with the various user groups you may have such as security, stewards, parking and first aid. In an emergency how you talk to all team members instantaneously to maximise everyone’s safety.

One feature which we love about the T42’s is how easy they are to connect with one another. Hassle free, all you have to do is turn them on and select your channel and at the push of a button you’ll be chatting in no time.

The T92 has some exciting accessories which make it much more than just a two-way radio.

When your battery fails, your radio fails. When your radio fails, your business communications fails. This can have a severe impact on productivity and the safety of your staff. For this reason, it is absolutely imperative that you know how to effectively use, store and care for your batteries.

Whether your run is green, blue, red, black or even a double black rating, being safe on the slopes is paramount. Not thinking about your boots and ending up with poor fitting rentals can be uncomfortable, not thinking about safe ways of communication and keeping in touch can be critical.

Choosing the right two-way radio for your industry and job type is essential. Being able to communicate with your team, supervisors and managers is an extremely important part of any job role, but certain industries rely on efficient modes of communication.

Motorola has been a household name and brand for decades and are known for telecommunications including two-way radios, but how did it all start?
