Big News is Coming! And a New Radio Tip!
I can not say anything about it yet, but we have some rather exciting news here at Buy Two Way Radios. Must be good, must not tell anyone yet, must be good.
Until then, a new, fun thing you can do with your radios!
We often get people looking for radios that are not all black and grey. While my predilection for a certain yellow radio is obvious, we have a few others that have a bit of color to them as well. The Cobra microTALK CXR700 two way radio has a blue faceplate, the Garmin Rino 120 two way radio with GPS is a bit green, and the Motorola TALKABOUT FV300R two way radio is almost all blue.
That is just a few of the radios we have that are more than just traditional black. Another thing you can try, many radios have a faceplate that can be removed. This means you can paint it to any color you want!

Two Way Radios for a Camping or Hunting Trip
Are you looking for two way radios to use on your next camping or hunting trip. Here at Buy Two Way Radios we have several radios designed for the outdoor enthusiast. One of the main things you will want to look at is the wattage, and not that fake range they put on the packaging. The watts will help you gauge the actual transmit power of the radio. Next, a solid rugged design that has some water resistance. Next I would determine if there are any features I like such as GPS, weather alerts, or accessories such as throat mics. So here are just a few of the radios we like:
Garmin Rino 120 Two Way Radio with GPS
Midland GXT-720-VP3 Radios with Charger
Motorola TALKABOUT T9550XLR Two Way Radios with Earbuds and Charger
TriSquare TSX100R-2VP Two Way Radio Value Pack

A CB Radio for my Truck
That is correct, truck. Not a radio for your boat. This time we are going to talk about a radio for your truck (or car). For many of us, a hand held two way radio meets most of our needs, but a CB radio is what we want in our vehicle. CB radios are usually capable of connecting to external antennas, which dramatically increase outdoor range. They are also useful if you like the idea of communicating with other travelers outside of your immediate group. Here at Buy Two Way Radios we carry a nice selection of CB radios for serious drivers and mobile radio enthusiast.
If you are looking for a classic CB radio with modern updates, give the Cobra 148 GTL SSB CB Radio a look. It may look like an old CB on the exterior, but inside it is a very modern radio. This one is popular with professional drivers for a reason, great performance and features in a functional design.
Looking for a CB with the same classic styling and modern updates but don't quite need all of the features of the 148? Then check out the Cobra 25 LTD Classic CB Radio.
Want a handheld CB radio? You will want to look at the Cobra HH-Roadtrip CB Radio. It even has a detachable antenna for longer range.
So go and give our CB Radio Section a look.

Two Way Radio Tips and Tricks
There are a lot of fun things you can do with a set of two way radios. Here at the office the other day we found this fun bit using some two ways as a remote camera trigger. A very long range remote camera trigger.
Another fun trick, you can use two radios as a short range repeater of sorts. We will let you guys figure that one out. Uhm, kind of requires duct tape.
Feel free to send us your favorite two way radio tricks and tips and we will pass them on. Just remember, no actual internal modifications allowed to the radios. While I am sure you get great range when you attached that old TV antenna to your radio, well let us just leave it at that.
