The Midland HH54 SAME is one of the few portable handheld weather radios currently available with Specific Area Message Encoding (S.A.M.E.) technology built in. This radio is available in two versions. The HH54VP includes an AC adapter and the HH54VP2 comes with a rechargeable battery pack and drop-in charger for greater portability.

This video produced by Midland is a basic introduction to the HH54 and its features, including S.A.M.E. technology for emergency alerts. The Midland HH54 is available to ship directly from our warehouse at Buy Two Way Radios.

Emergency preparedness is key to surviving a weather or other disaster, and the time to prepare is now. You never know when a weather emergency will occur until it is too late to prepare. If you are the type who puts things off, here's a testimonial that may change your mind. This video from Midland is a real world example as to why everyone should have an emergency weather radio. A complete selection is available to ship directly from our warehouse at Buy Two Way Radios.

Some FRS and GMRS two way radios feature NOAA weather channels. The Motorola Talkabout MS350 and MS355 both offer this feature, along with weather alerts to keep you informed of emergency weather conditions. This is probably one of the most important reasons for having a radio and knowing how to activate and use this feature is a must.

In this episode of Radio 101, Anthony from Buy Two Way Radios shows you how to activate NOAA weather channels for your area and enable weather alerts on a Motorola Talkabout MS Series radio. This procedure works for the Motorola Talkabout MS350R and MS355R radios.

We preview the new RM Series business radios coming this year from Motorola. We'll also review the Motorola HKLN4433 CLP Series Magnetic Case Kit.

When you apply for an FCC license to obtain frequencies for your business radios, you may think the process is complete once you submit your application. Not so fast! After the FCC has granted your license, you are required to let them know when you begin to use the frequencies. This is called a Construction Notification. You have one year after the license is granted to file the construction notice, and failure to do so will result in the loss of your license.

Most of the time, dealing with the FCC's processes is complicated and confusing. Fortunately, filing a construction notice is somewhat simple and straightforward. We will walk you through the process of filing a construction notice in 8 simple steps as outlined below.

Important! If you used our FCC License Service to get your frequencies you do not have to complete these steps. As part of our service, we file the construction notification on your behalf once your license has been granted.

Filing a Construction Notification

1. Login to the FCC's Universal Licensing System (ULS). Use the FRN and password that you created when you applied for your license.

2. If you have multiple licenses, click to view the license that needs the notification.

3. In the "Work on this License" section to the right, click "Notify the FCC"

4. Application Purpose. Choose "S - Construction requirements for the referenced system have been met" and click the Continue button.

5. Buildout Information. For each frequency in the list, enter the date that you began using the frequencies in the "Actual Construction Date" field. Click Continue.

6. Fees and Waivers. If you are exempt from application fees or are requesting a waiver of commission rules, indicate that here. Usually the answer will be "No" to each of these questions. Don't worry, there are no fees for filing a construction notice. Click Continue to proceed.

7. Summary. This page is simply a review of your previous selections. If everything is correct, click "Continue To Certify" to move to the final step.

8. Certification. Read the information under the Certification Statements. Assuming you agree, enter your name and title in the Signature section below. Click Submit Application to complete the process.
