Step Up to Bluetooth For 2 Way Radios

Simply put, Bluetooth is a type of technology that allows information to be exchanged between two or more capable devices without the use of cables or wired connections. It is common these days on cell phones where the caller simply uses a small earpiece/microphone combination to allow them hands-free communication through the phone. This saves having to hold the phone all the time during the conversation, plus it allows the wearer to get up and move about freely or even keep typing, driving or working without interruption. Another great way to utilize this technology is Bluetooth for 2 way radios.
Many of the new systems have a great deal of range, allowing the wearer to move a fair distance away from the radio and still receive the signal. This is important for a variety of reasons since it frees up the user and prevents a lot of the restrictions of movements when using a traditional system. They can be left in safe places and often last much longer since they aren't carried about as much. Many motorcycle owners might be interested in this type of device, due to it's ease of usability.
The technology works through a very small, relatively inexpensive computer chip that is added to any type of electronic system. Since the frequency used is different than other types of radio frequencies there is no interference, plus the devices are synchronized to only respond to each other. This means that the system only hears signals from those devices you have linked, just like your cell phone only sends to your earpiece, not to any other receivers. It also means that your device won't interfere with other wireless systems or even other Bluetooth devices you may be operating.
Bluetooth adds even more features for those individuals that want to have full and complete hands-free use while still getting crystal clear sound quality. Different companies have had the option of push to talk on their existing radio systems, however the quality of sound as well as the hand held component of the system has made them bulky and less than perfect in the past. This technology has reduced wires and total freedom is possible. What more could a person want?
The newest, sleekest and smallest systems are very easy to use. The earpieces, which contain a very small microphone boom, are much shorter and thinner than traditional earpiece/microphone headsets. The systems work on chargers, with the earpiece/microphone and the receiving/sending unit all charging on the same system. To sync up the system it is as simple as pressing and holding down a button simultaneously on both pieces, forming the connection. Once the link has been established the first time there is no need to do it again. Many of the systems also have optional push to talk buttons that can be mounted anywhere that is easy to reach. This eliminates the need to have to touch the radio itself to talk or answer a call.
The whole Bluetooth system simply plugs into your set, turning anything that has compatibility into a fully functioning wireless device. This literally adds to the value of the device as you no longer have to hold it, push the specific buttons and struggle to hear what is going on. The Bluetooth for 2 way radios will eliminate a great deal of the environmental noise since the sound from the device is going directly to the earpiece, transferred wirelessly. Sound is clearer and free from distortion, plus volume controls on the earpiece mean you can adjust the sound to suit your particular needs.
