Buy Two Way Radios

For discreet communications using two way radios, a surveillance earpiece is the way to go. With its small, footprint, light weight and transparent tubing, a surveillance earpiece with a traditional mushroom tip can be worn stealthily inside the ear, drawing little to no attention to the casual observer. It's a popular accessory for security professionals, hunters or anyone else who needs an earpiece that is easy to hear and is very discreet.

For the most part, a surveillance earpiece is a great choice for stealth or low profile applications. However, there are a few drawbacks. The mushroom tip sits down inside the ear canal, blocking the ability to hear ambient sound. Once the mushroom tip has been used in the ear, for hygenic reasons it should be replaced before the earpiece is worn by another user. In addition, some users complain that the mushroom tip can start to be uncomfortable when worn for a long period of time.

Fortunately, there is an alternative to the mushroom tip. It's called an earloop. Like the mushroom tip, the earloop fits inside the ear and is somewhat inconspicuous. It is also removable and replaceable to maintain hygenics. The difference is comfort and audio. Earloops will provide a more comfortable fit, while at the same time offering better sound quality. The earloop is designed to give you the fit of an earpiece similar to what a musician or newscaster would wear.

Earloops come in 3 different sizes; small, medium and large and are packaged in pairs, providing one earloop for the left and one for the right ear. They are formed to fit inside the outer ear, so it is important to choose the correct size for the best fit.

If you need a surveillance earpiece for your radio but find the mushroom tip awkward or uncomfortable during extended wear, give earloops a try. It's an easy and inexpensive alternative to swapping out an entire earpiece and may just be the way to go.

This is a preview one of the most anticipated new amateur radios of 2013! Take a first look at the soon to be released Wouxun KG-UV950P Quad Band Base/Mobile Two Way Radio. Buy Two Way Radios was one of the very first authorized Wouxun dealers to get one, and the first thing we wanted to do was unbox it for you, so we did!

We'll unpack this radio and show you everything that comes in the box. We'll also take you through the menu to give you an overview some of the exciting features built into this new powerfully versatile ham radio that's due to be released soon at an amazingly low price!

Midland Radio Corporation just announced that it has discontinued the GXT2000 series of GMRS two way radios only ten months after launch. According the company, the entire 2000 series was discontinued due to "poor performance".

The Midland GXT2000 was a much anticipated model considered by many to be the next generation of Midland's wildly popular GXT1000VP4 with a few improvements, such as a fast charging lithium polymer battery and a larger and enhanced display.

Midland initially introduced the GXT2000 in January 2012 as part of its current line-up of FRS/GMRS consumer two way radios. Nearly all of the other new radios it the market by that summer, however it was a full year before the GXT2000 was actually launched, making its official debut in January of this year. Buy Two Way Radios was one of the very first dealers to have them in stock and the first to produce a Midland GXT2000 unboxing video and an in-depth written review. It was also reviewed in detail in episode 52 of The Two Way Radio Show in a direct, feature-for feature comparison with the GXT1000.

Although the initial reviews were generally favorable, these were based on the first shipment of radios received. Subsequent shipments of the GXT2000 experienced delays, presumably due to production issues, and later were found to have other issues as well.

These issues escalated, and on October 15, 2013, Midland decided to cease production of the GXT2000 and immediately discontinue the entire GXT2000 series: The GXT2000VP4, GXT2050VP4 and GXT2091VP4 will no longer be manufactured. However, Midland stated that the company will honor the warranty on these models.

Midland is currently planning to introduce a new model to replace the GXT2000 sometime in the future, however no details have been released and no launch date has been set.

In light of Midland's decision to discontinue the series, we will extend our return policy for customers who purchased the GXT2000 or GXT2050 from Buy Two Way Radios. If you purchased one of these models from us and are having problems with it, please contact us as soon as possible. We want to make sure that our customers are happy with products that were purchased from us, and will work with you to be sure that you have a product that meets your satisfaction.
