  • Tytera MD-380 Digital Radio Unboxing video

    Digital technology has created the next big wave in two way radio communications, yet the migration to digital has been rather slow, primarily due to the high cost. Although digital radios offer higher quality audio and a plethora of bells and whistles, in a world with tight budgets, analog still does the job at a much lower price.

    However, the tide is turning. Tytera is changing the game of digital two way radio with the introduction of the MD-380 DMR Digital Two Way Radio!

    Watch as Danny Feemster from Buy Two Way Radios unboxes the Tytera MD-380 and give you a brief first look at this exciting new DMR radio with the amazing low price that's destined to take the world of digital radio by storm!

    For an in-depth discussion of this new digital two way radio, listen to Episode 92 of The Two Way Radio Show Podcast.

  • Default Frequencies for Kenwood ProTalk Business Radios

    The Kenwood business radios available at Buy Two Way Radios are already pre-programmed with itinerant business frequencies by default. While they can be also be re-programmed to your custom frequencies, many customers opt to use the common itinerant frequencies already programmed into them. An FCC license is still required to use these frequencies, however it is faster and less expensive to purchase a Business Itinerant Frequency License than to obtain an exclusive Single Business Frequency License for your company or operation.

    Here is a list of Kenwood business radios with their channel numbers and the default itinerant frequencies assigned to them out of the box.

  • The Tytera DMR radios have arrived!

    The digital age has dawned, and it was only natural that the two way radio would come along. Unfortunately those who prefer digital over analog, adoption has been slow. For many businesses, the migration to from analog to digital is a long term process, and for consumers in the FRS and GMRS arena, the digital radio has yet to become a reality. As for amateur radio operators, going digital depends on what you are doing with the hobby, and although a growing number of hams are getting on board the digital bandwagon, most are still in analog mode.

    The primary reason? One word. Cost. Digital radios are traditionally and significantly more expensive than their analog cousins. Take business radios, for example. Compare the typical Icom analog handheld to a comparable Icom digital radio and the difference is easily several hundred dollars.

    Not anymore. The game is about to change.

    Now Tytera is turning digital radio on its ear with the launch of its MD-280 and MD-380 DMR digital portable radios!

    Tytera has just released two new DMR radios that not only rival the typical $400 digital transceiver in features, it also rivals many analog portable handheld radios in price!

    MD280.jpgTytera MD-280 - NOW AVAILABLE! The Tytera MD-280 is the basic model with not so basic features. It operates on up to 5 watts in both analog and digital modes on UHF 400-480MHz frequencies.

    The MD-280 is compatible with any standard analog UHF radio compatible on the same frequencies. In digital mode, it uses TDMA Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) Tier 2 Standard protocol. for compatibilty with other popular DMR radios, including Motorola MOTO TRBO series Tier I and II with standard encryption.

    The Tytera MD 280 does not have a display or keypad, but it does has 32 channels, two-color LED, a programmable function key, CTCSS/DCS, channel scan, priority scan, Double Priority Scan and English voice prompts. Other standard features include Private Call, Group Call, All Call, lone worker mode, power save mode, low power alarm, and an emergency alarm. The price: $189.99.

    Thumbnail image for MD380.jpgTytera MD-380 - NOW AVAILABLE! This is the premium model that many DMR enthusiasts have been waiting for. It has all the primary features of the MD-280 plus a few more of its own. It has large a color LCD display, DTMF keypad, and 1000 programmable channels. It has all this for only about $10 more! Price: $199.99
