walkie talkies

Here at Buy Two Way Radios we have already started to get some questions about holiday gift ideas. I know, it is a bit soon! So for those that like to enjoy the holidays a bit later, feel free to check out the rest of our two way radio blog.

Are they gone? Ok, great! Anyway, some of you have been asking what two way radios we would suggest to give as gifts. We carry a lot of different walkie talkies, so I am going to just talk about a few that are very budget friendly, easy to use, and also very durable:

Midland LXT118 two way radios are very inexpensive ($19.99), basic radios. They are compact in size (perfect for small hands) and include two radios a pack.

A slight upgrade would be the Midland LXT500VP3 two way radios. They come with a charger, but are still a nice compact, easy to use walkie talkie for $34.99.

If you are looking for radios with a bit more power and a few more features, give the Midland LXT560VP3 two way radios a look. They even have NOAA weather alerts! We have them ready to go for $44.99.

These are just a few of the two way radios we have here in stock and ready to ship. They are compact, and perfect for everyday use and great for kids of all ages. If you have any questions just contact us.

We really like Icom here at Buy Two Way Radios. Their radios are tough, reliable, and they have models for every type of business. They also have a lot of accessories, and several products and features that are not offered by a lot of other brands. One of the new products Icom has is the SimpleTrack AVL using Icom's EMDC signaling system.

SimpleTrack AVL uses a card that plugs into a F121/F121S/F521/F621 radio. Attached to the plug is a GPS antenna. Once connected, you can then set up a system with a base station to "poll" all of the radios that have the card and receive their coordinates. You can then track them on a PC (connected to a base station) using many of the popular third party mapping applications available (OziFleet, RASTRAC).

This means you will be able to track the location of any radio that is connected in real time. The SimpleTrack AVL system is great for companies with fleets of radio equipped vehicles, such as law enforcement, emergency services, construction teams, HVAC repair companies, city workers, utility crews, etc...

If you would like to know more about SimpleTrack, just give us a call. We can get you everything you will need, and help set it up for you, including installing the cards in the radios. At Buy Two Way Radios, we carry a lot more items than you see available on our website, and we have yet to encounter something a customer needs that we can not get! From repeaters, to digital systems, to all-purpose walkie talkies, we are here to help you solve your personal and business communication problems.
