Cobra MT975 Walkie Talkie Radio

The Cobra MT975 radios have long been discontinued.

They could be used as a "long range baby listener" by making use of the voice activated transmit feature.

 

 

 

Kirisun PT558 Walkie Talkie Radio

The Kirisun PT558 walkie-talkie has been discontinued as of late 2023.

We also still supply earpiece/microphones for the Kirisun PT558.

We also still supply spare / replacement batteries for the PT558.

Alternative TO KIRISUN PT558 WALKIE TALKIE RADIO

The Lynx PT400 is the same price and basically almost the same radio, and will work with your PT558 radios, and are also PMR446 and so licence-free.

The Kirisun PT568 walkie-talkie has been discontinued as of early 2024, and we have no more left to sell.

Kirisun PT568 customers, if you bought Kirisun PT568 walkie talkie radios from us, we can still have chargeable repair work done, if you send your faulty radios back to us (please ask us first).

We still supply earpiece/microphones for the Kirisun PT568.

Alternative TO KIRISUN PT56 WALKIE TALKIE RADIO

The Kirisun DP405 Analog / Digital Walkie Talkie Radio is the closest equivalent walkie-talkie.

The digital / analog Kirisun DP405 walkie talkie radio is a good successor to the Kirisun PT568.

It will work with your existing Kirisun PT568 "fleet" and it is also a digital radio, with the benefits of clearer transmissions when used in digital mode.

The Kirisun DP405 is a worthy successor to the best-selling Kirisun PT568, providing a solid, reliable workhorse walkie talkie radio for use in all types of business or organisation.

 

Kirisun PT4200 Walkie Talkie Radio

The Kirisun PT4200 was discontinued in 2020.

The Kirisun PT4200 was for years one of our most popular general-purpose walkie-talkies, but now it has ceased production. 

We still supply earpiece/mics for the PT4200.

Alternative TO KIRISUN PT4200 WALKIE TALKIE RADIO

The "nearest equivalent" walkie-talkie in our product range would be the Kirisun DP405.

The Kirisun DP405 is very similar, but has several advantages over the older PT4200.

It is a more modern design, has a louder speaker making it easier to understand radio messages in noisy environments, and is IP65-rated and so water resistant.

Our Quansheng TG330 walkie-talkie radio is functionally equivalent to the Kirisun PT4200 but is around half the price.

We have a full range of accessories for the Quansheng TG330, including spare batteries, earpiece/mics and multi-chargers.

We can program any of these radios to work with your existing "fleet" of Kirisun PT4200 radios.

 

Lynx PT600 Walkie Talkie Radio

 The Lynx PT600 walkie talkie radio, with it's lone worker and "man down" features is no longer made, and we cannot supply any more of them.

If you bought PT600 radios from us, we can still have chargeable repair work done, if you send your faulty radios back to us (please ask us first).

We also still supply earpiece/microphones for the Lynx PT600.

ALTERNATIVE TO LYNX PT600 WALKIE TALKIE RADIO

The "nearest equivalent" walkie-talkie in our product range in terms of a radio that offers the "lone worker protection" and "man down" features to alert a person's colleague if they have a problem, is the Entel DX485.

The Entel DX485 is a digital walkie talkie, and has a screen display which can display the user name or "radio number" of any radio in a workgroup that is sending out a "lone worker" or "man down" alert message.

The Entel DX485 can also make individual and user-group calls.

The Entel DX485 comes with the "emergency button" and "lone worker" timed check-in as standard. The "man down" feature is an optional extra.

 

 

 

Entel HX483 Walkie Talkie Radio

The Entel HX483 walkie-talkie has been discontinued as of early 2020.

We still sell the battery for Entel HX483, and also six slot chargers for the HX483.

Customers who have a "fleet" of Entel HX483 walkie-talkies (or other HX models like the HX482), and who need more, and/or need replacements should consider the new Entel DX485 digital & analogue walkie-talkie instead.

ALTERNATIVE TO ENTEL HX483 WALKIE TALKIE RADIO

The Entel DX485 is exactly the same physical size, and uses the same battery and charger as the HX483, and HX482 etc.

The DX485 can be programmed to work with your existing Entel HX483 radios, and its size, shape etc will be familiar to the radio users.

However, the DX485 offers clearer audio quality, and is also digital, which means clearer quality still when used in digital mode with other digital radios.

Please note that you cannot use any existing Entel HX earpiece/microphones and headsets, because the Entel DX radios use a different audio accessory connector to the Entel HX radios.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tritan Connect Walkie Talkie Radio

The Tritan Connect Walkie Talkie has been discontinued as of early 2020.

The Tritan Connect was a professional-quality general-purpose licenced walkie-talkie that is robust as well as being compact and light, and was one of our biggest-selling walkie-talkies.

ALTERNATIVE TO TRITAN CONNECT WALKIE TALKIE RADIO

We have the even better value Quansheng TG330 available - it has a very similar specification and quality, but is £10 + VAT cheaper to buy.
