When shopping for a 2-way radio on the Internet you want to look for more than just the cheapest price and free shipping. Of course you can find radios on the largest online stores that have the best prices, but if you need help in choosing the right radios, try calling them up and asking their call center staff for assistance. The most they can do is read the same information you already have in front of you.
Then what happens after the sale when you need some advice on programming changes or you don’t understand how a particular feature works? You certainly won’t get that help from their order-taking call center staff.
Buying your two-way radios from someone who are product experts on the radios you are looking for is like buying an insurance policy on your investment. It isn’t cheap for these stores to keep knowledgeable staff instead of just having trained order-taking monkeys. If you’re running a business, your time is worth more than just saving a few dollars. Having someone you can call for help is like having communication staff members ready to help you with problems.
IntercomsOnline.com wants to be your communication staff so call us for your 2-way radio needs.
I walked in my local Ace Hardware to buy a padlock for my son’s locker at school and I told the cashiers what I was looking for. They told me it was on the left about half-way down the center isle. So I start walking down the isle and I’m met by another store employee. The nice thing about Ace is they have great service. But what surprised me is that the employee looked at me and said, “Looking for a padlock?” I asked her if I had that written on my face or is she just psychic?
It turns out they were using the new Motorola CLP1010 two-way radios. The radios are so small and light that you couldn’t even see where they put them. Most of the employees just had them stuffed in a pocket, but I finally caught a glimpse of one employee who had hers on the outside of her clothing. I then recognized them immediately since there’s no other radio like it and the glowing indicator ring is a dead giveaway.
So a store with great service just got even better by adding better communication!
MURS Wireless PA System
Wireless PA systems are often used at truck scales for one-way communication to a truck driver. An operator in the scale house can simply press a button and broadcast a message to the driver. These systems can broadcast at high volume levels so they can overcome the noise level of a loud diesel engine.
The PA system consists of a wireless receiver unit that’s attached to a horn speaker. In the scale house the operator an use a portable handheld radio or a desktop base station radio to broadcast messages to the trucks.
With concern about crime, vandalism, and terrorism continuing to increase, the need for security increases, and the place most businesses and residences start is with installing a perimeter security system such as fence with a gate. When a gate is installed, a wireless intercom becomes an essential part of the system so visitors can still get in.
A wireless intercom at the gate will need to be water resistant, but it should also be vandal resistant as well. It will be exposed to the elements and to people who may want to damage it. Therefore the chosen intercom must be very durable.
If wires cannot be installed in the ground, then a wireless intercom is needed. The range these devices can transmit varies widely, but you can get intercoms that transmit as much as a mile or more.
The other factor is the appearance of the intercom. In some installations a wireless intercom with an industrial appearance is OK. In others, you may need one that is a little less unobtrusive like the one pictured here.
Whichever type of wireless intercom you choose, make sure you get one that can remotely activate the gate if you need that feature.

Fast and effective communication is needed in restaurants to provide the best customer experience, but restaurant staff don’t want to wear bulky two-way radios. They need radios that are comfortable to wear, unobtrusive in appearance, and easy to use. The Motorola CLP1040 radios fit that need.
The CLP1040′s sleek design won’t detract from staff uniforms. In fact, the optional magnet-mount accessory enables staff to locate the radio anywhere on their uniform.
While the CLP is the smallest and lightest business-class two way radio on the market, it’s still durable and has ample volume to overcome noisy kitchen environments. Wait staff won’t have to yell in their microphones and kitchen staff will still be able to hear them. Restaurant guests will experience exceptional service without even be aware of all the intricacies behind that service.
The four channel Motorola CLP1040 and the one channel CLP1010 are the best restaurant two-way radios available.
The Motorola CLP1040 and CLP1010 are the smallest and lightest two-way radios for the hotel and hospitality industry. These radios enable hotel staff with rapid communication to ensure guests have smooth arrivals and departures, excellent service during their stay, and fast access to transportation.
Unlike other bulky radios, hotel staff won’t mind wearing one of these radios. They weigh less than 2.5 ounces and measure at approximately 3.5 x 2 x 0.75 inches small. They come with a belt clip, but there is also a magnet mount option that enables staff to clip a radio anywhere on their clothing. A magnet goes inside the clothing and the radio attaches over top it.
The sleek styling promotes the hotel’s image, while the military specification standard ensures the radio is durable enough for tough, everyday use.
If you’re looking for a two way radio for your employees to use in a retail store, one of the best options available is the Motorola CLP1040. This ultra compact radio is the smallest and lightest radio available. The CLP1040 doesn’t have a built-in speaker so it requires users to wear a headset, which is included with the radio. Other headset options are available too.
One of the nicest features of the radio besides its small size, is the magnetic mount option. It allows you to clip the radio anywhere on your clothing you want. There is a belt clip that comes with the radio, but for those who don’t want to wear it on their belt, or they don’t even have a belt, the magnetic clip works very well.
There are four channels on the Motorola CLP 1040 and voice prompts and color-changing LEDs tell you which channel you are on. There’s a good review of this radio here: Motorola CLP1040
MURS Multi-Mile Long-Range Wireless Outdoor Intercom
A new long-range wireless outdoor intercom enables you to communicate at distances that no other wireless intercom is capable of. Most wireless intercoms communicate at a range of up to 1000 feet. With the Multi-Mile Wireless system you can reach distances measured in miles depending on how it’s used. You can adjust range by changing between the intercom’s one-watt or two-watt setting. The one-watt setting works for shorter distances or when using battery power.
To achieve maximum range, there is an external antenna that you can mount as high as possible. The higher it’s mounted, the longer range you’ll get. The antenna comes with about three feet of cable, but you can add more to raise the antenna higher.
The long-range wireless intercom also has internal switch that can be used to activate a door or gate controller, switch on a light, sound an alarm, or for any application where remote control of an on/off switch is needed. A radio that has the ability to send the tones to activate the switch is needed.
