Minitor VI Pager Recall Rumers**NOT TRUE**

Hey Fans,

We have received a lot of questions lately regarding Minitor VI Pagers and a possible recall from Motorola. We wanted to address them to let everyone know that this is not accurate information. The Minitor VI pagers are not being recalled. There is a minor receive issue on some of the models, we have confirmed this information with Motorola direct as of 5/19.

The receive issue is being addressed with a new firmware update which will be out soon. The update is going to correct any receive issues on the new pagers, so not to worry. There is no recall that we are aware of and you can rest easy when purchasing from Wireless Communications

We will touch base as soon as we find out what the new version of this firmware will be. Thanks for reading!

Motorola Two Way Radios, A Solution For The Zombie Apocalypse

Hey There Fans,

In recent times we have had a lot of request from users looking for disaster radios. With everything recently from weather related emergencies to power outages it seems necessary to have a plan along with some basic communications should the need arrive.

We never really know what is out there and what to be prepared for so here at Talktwoway.com we say it is always best to be prepared rather than not.

Recently some of you may have read about the outbreak of zombie sightings around us. You never know what may be lurking around the corner waiting to get you, so we thought we might explain how two way radios might benefit you in the event of a zombie apocalypse.

First of all, if you do ever run across a mob of zombies your best and easiest precaution  is to be silent with your communications. Silence is going to be your best defense against a zombie attack. How do you remain silent? By using a earpice with built in push to talk switch    

A earpiece will not only make it easier to hear transmissions over the loud zombie moans, but it will also hopefully keep them from hearing you should another user call you on the radio.

Radios will keep you in the loop with your buddies. With communications you can alert each other should you see the need to run and hide from a flesh eating zombie. One radio in particular that we suggest is the VL50 model. The reason why we suggest this model is that it can be used with AAA batteries. After all, if it is in fact an apocalypse then who has time to try and charge a battery?

We hope these suggestions help and hopefully you will never need to use them. Contact us at 866-605-8255 for more zombie communication tips.

**How To Tie In Your New Digital CP200 To Your Analog CP200**

Did you know that the new Motorola CP200D radios are capable of working with your existing analog CP200 models? Customers often ask how this is possible. The new CP200 digital models can be programmed as analog on a per channel basis making it easy to migrate over. The new CP200 D models have 16 channels which gives the users 16 options in programming digital or analog channels. If a user for example has a current analog 4 channel model of the CP200 but they are purchasing the new digital version we usually suggest setting it up as follows on the new CP200 digital:

Channel 1( analog)
Channel 2 (analog)
Channel 3 (analog)
Channel 4 (analog)
Channels 5-16 (digital)

This will insure that the users can not only tie into their existing CP200 analog models but also get the benefits of a digital signal if need be. Have questions? Visit us for further info.
