Hurricane Season is just around the corner and the National Weather Service has advised us all to be prepared. According to the NWS, one important item to have on your emergency preparedness list is an emergency weather radio.

But which weather radio is right for you? There are a lot of radios available with a lot of features and options. Every radio may not be right for everyone or every situation. What is the best weather radio for your family or business? Which one should you choose?

Not to worry. Buy Two Way Radios created the 2012 Emergency Weather Radio Comparison Guide to help you find the radio you need.

This comparison chart includes all the current models we offer as an authorized Midland dealer, from the compact, easy to carry Midland HH50 Pocket Weather Alert Radio to the full-featured Midland XT511 Base Camp Two Way/Emergency Crank Radio, considered by some as the "swiss army knife" of emergency radios. The radios and their features are organized into a simple chart so you can compare them all easily.

The Emergency Weather Radio Comparison Guide 2012 is FREE for download and ready when you need it.

Here is a quick overview of some key features included with these weather radios.

Earlier this year we told you about the new lineup of Midland FRS/GMRS radios for 2012. Since the initial announcement we've been keeping you posted on the arrival of each new model as it has been released.

Now, two more Midland radios are out and are now available at Buy Two Way Radios!

The Midland LXT500VP3 is a great choice for family outings. It's compact, lightweight, easy to use for kids of all ages.

The Midland LXT535VP3 is the camo version of the LXT500. It gives you that added look of outdoor adventure when your camping out with the kids.

Both models support all 22 FRS and GMRS channels and feature Hi/Low power settings, all alert, channel scan, auto squelch, silent operation, and keypad lock. They are water resistant and certified lead free.

The LXT500VP3 and LXT535VP3 are available and ready to ship with your order at Buy Two Way Radios!
