i want a radio that can connect to other 2 way radios. but i have no idea on frequencies and how to use one. is this a good buy?

if you buy the programming cable also, or have one from other BAOFENG radios, then it is a good buy. without the cables you may be on illegal frequencies that are in ues by public service departments.

I wouldn't advise buying these unless you are planning on buying a few, because they only seem to connect to other baofengs.

I only purchased the weather radio. I don't have the Motorola Two Way radios. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

Honestly, it's going to be hard to answer this question. If you're asking how the radio sounds...Then I would say it sounds great depending on how good your speakers are. As for the second part of your question, this radio is not for broadcasting. So you will not be heard on the other end at all.

Why? It's priced as a disposable radio. If you are wanting a quality device that will last you years and years maybe consider something else. This is a good intro radio until you decide this hobby is worth sinking some cash until.

you can set it up so it's FCC legal but the learning curve is high, and you would need to train your staff in how to use and how not to use this unit. If you can get past that there is no cheaper way to go with the options this unit has. I would recommend you look at the Motorola VL-50 this radio is designed for your needs. it is just as secure, easy to use, but its cost is around 200.00 per unit. any unit over 1/2 a watt will work well for you. remember that any more than 1\2 a watt and you could be interfering with other places around you.

Ok, I mean, the signal is from XM sattelites. You have the same channels but from different sattelites. Personally I dont recomend this radio.

It is not wise to buy this radio. These people are not responsive after the sale. I tried to resolve my issues without success. I might have the power supply. I will have to look for it.

I am looking for a portable radio with the following bands: AM/FM/SW/MWThe priority for me is AM and SW. I was considering the Kaito KA-1102 model. However, it has received mixed reviews with doubts about reliability. Please recommend a better model. My budget is upto $140. Thanks!

i cant help u there, but i'm sure it wouldnt be a big issue, it depends how many units ur using. if their for outdoor environments u dont need the software but if u need specific uhf freq then yes.if ur buying like 3 or more radios for a specific purpose and its for the long haul, then invest in the software. I would. if u get the software, there are 2 advantages, one is instead of channel number showing on the display it'll be the freq with sub-code as an option. the other is u can program and save the freq's u want in a diff folder for future use and use that to program all other radios. if u find it hard to program, there are local radio operators in ur area to help u. just helping. i cant help u there, but i'm sure it wouldnt be a big issue, it depends how many units ur using. if their for outdoor environments u dont need the software but if u need specific uhf freq then yes.if ur buying like 3 or more radios for a specific purpose and its for the long haul, then invest in the software.

The Simultalk 24G has two way communication, but anyone using one of the radios can turn off their "talk" feature, making it one way communication. I would think you would want some two way capability so that both parties can acknowledge that the units are working. I have tried many different radio sets over the years for backstage communications during theatrical productions and the Simultak 24G's are the ONLY ones that have ever worked reliably. You get what you pay for.

Subscriptions are assigned to the receiver, so you can't use two receivers (radios) on one subscription. But you can get two docks for one receiver, use one in the auto, and the other in the home. But you will have to take the radio with you each time. they do have deals for the second subscription, so you would not be paying full price if you did get a second receiver.

Yep, as the others have said, that's what I use mine for too. Works very well. Only drawback is it's hard to get any reception for the radio feature.
