Radio Shack
Who is the real manufacturer of the Radio Shack HTX-212 Ham radio?
I need to get an exact replacement microphone for this radio, and Radio Shack does not support it.
That was most likely made by either Uniden or Midland. So were the Cobra’s of similar design. The mic cartridge should not be that hard to find via most parts houses as it wasn’t anything special.
Two Way Radios – a Few Things You Do Need to Know
The last time you were in an electrical component store, such as Radio Shack, did you happen to notice the two way radios that they have on their shelves? They were small, compact, very attractive and surprisingly cheap. Then when you stopped by a larger warehouse style store, you may have noticed that the employees were also carrying two way radios that they used to communicate with each other at the work place. Are these the same two way radios that you saw back at little electrical component shop?
Not the Same
The fact is, that while they may look quite similar at first glance, they are quite different in a number of ways. To begin with, the cute, inexpensive clip on models back at the store are manufactured to much lighter specifications for occasional family style use. Accidentally drop one on the floor and there is a good chance that that will be the end of it.
Even More Differences
Also, cheap price means cheap batteries that are going to fizzle out quickly if they are put to every day use. Still more, is that the cheaper models don’t have multiple channel options, so they are extremely limmited in how thay can be used. Lastly, by federal law it is illegal for a commercial business to use off the shelf unlicensed two way radios in their business operations.
Its a Great System
Does this mean that things are stacked unfavorably, either against businesses or private citizens who wish to use two way radios? Not at all and in fact all thin s that differentiate the two types of radios are in place to protect both businesses and private citizens.
It Works for All Parties
When a business purchases and uses licensed two way radios they are assured that their communications will not be interrupted all day by two kids playing in a field with the set of two way radios that they got for Christmas. Also, by having unlicensed mass produced two way radios available for consumers the public is assured affordable prices.
