ReadySafeGo™ Means Your Two-Way Radio Is Good To Go!

ReadySafeGo = Charged, Programmed, Tested & No DOA!

Here’s a common scenario: You spend perhaps hours researching the right gear for your emergency or prepper/SHTF communications rig, place your order and wait patiently (or not – hehe). You check your tracking link and the day has come – your radios are going to arrive today. Maybe you even block out a little extra time to play with everything later that day, and then the dreaded happens… one of your radios is DOA and you start cursing the Chinese gods!

Or in another less disappointing but common scenario, your radios work fine, but you can’t use them until you charge the battery packs for a couple hours. What fun is that?!

There’s nothing more frustrating and we’ve been there! That’s why at BetterSafeRadio.com, we’ve created our ReadySafeGo™ service – It’s our policy and pledge to you that we charge every battery pack and pre-program (or custom program when available) most radios before they get packed and shipped to you!

ReadySafeGo = Charged, Programmed, Tested & No DOA!

We make sure each Li-ion battery pack (including spares) are at least shelf-charged so that when you unbox your new two-way radio, you can use it immediately.

That’s what we would expect as a customer, so that’s what we deliver!

While we can’t possibly test your radio with all accessories (and sometimes that’s a sanitary thing, for example with earpieces and speaker mics), this policy has let us maintain a nearly 100% NO DOA radios success rate, with well over 10,000 radios shipped. That means no radio return hassles for you, our loyal customer.

Now, we did originally experience repeated QC (Quality Control) issues with the TERA/Powerwerx radios, and while they were reliable radios when you got a good one, there were just far too many returns on our end. This was totally unacceptable, so we dropped the brand (and also because of their horrible dealer support and several customer complaints about problems with their sales & support staff).

Things are much different now with our reliable direct line of high-quality Wouxun radios, with unparalleled factory QC.

We also visually inspect all radio contents and other accessories make sure everything is in order.

Most radio importers and dealers (especially the big radio superstores) can’t afford to offer this level of personalized service, but we feel it’s a must, even though it does cost us some extra time (i.e. money).

The last thing you need as a prepper, survivalist, active EmComm Amateur, business user, or just a casual GMRS/MURS or HAM operator trying to protect yourself and your family from a disaster or the unknown, is to be stuck with a DOA radio. When you buy a two-way radio from BetterSafeRadio, you’ll have the confidence of knowing that your gear will be ReadySafeGo™!

Are you Ready For SHTF? The TR-590 Emergency Two-Way Radio Is!

TERA TR-590 Commercial Ham Two-Way Handheld Radio - Assembled Specs

TERA TR-590 Commercial Ham Two-Way Handheld Radio - Assembled SpecsFor some, it’s almost a conflict of conscience spending any time thinking about a SHTF (S#it Hits The Fan) situation, but borrowing from our slogan and the common intuition of careful thinkers everywhere, it’s always prudent to be “Better Safe Than Sorry!” To that end, we’re happy to introduce our latest custom pre-programmed radio offering, the TERA TR-590 emergency radio. It’s the ultimate survivalist prepper SHTF two-way radio!

Utilizing the same solid commercial-grade build quality and ease of use that has made the TERA TR-505 GMRS/MURS radio so popular for recreational and local safety/emergency use, the TR-590 makes for the perfect handheld in times of every day emergencies, natural disasters, civil unrest, or even U.S. elections! smiley wink Image

TERA TR-590 Commercial Ham Two-Way Radio - ContentsWith an IP54 Dust & Water (splash) Resistance rating, True Dual Receive, Front Panel Programming & VFO Mode, 3 Tx Power Levels, Scanning and everything else you would expect in a compact, affordable Part 90 commercial radio, this signature BSR ReadySafeGo™ offering comes charged, programmed and tested so you can use it right out of the box.

Some customers have programmed this radio for SHTF, packed with just about every emergency frequency you can think of that individual preppers, survivalists, businesses, government, public service agencies and organizations like CERT, Neighborhood Watch, ARES & RACES use during emergencies. While not “type-accepted” for some of these bands (as is the case with all prepper/SHTF radios), it has been used with all the standard VHF/UHF services, such as GMRS, FRS, MURS, LMR (land mobile/business), MMS (marine), WX (NOAA “All-Hazards” Weather), CAP (civil air patrol), HAM (amateur radio), PMR446 (UK/Euro FRS) and 20 FM Broadcast Radio Stations. The Part 90 TR-590 is only FCC certified for use on the LMR band.

Special Rx-only emergency service frequencies include FEMA, USCG, FIRE Inter-Department, LAW Intersystem, Urban S&R, VLAW, CALAW, USNG, USMIL, USICE, USFED Law, USG Civil Agencies, NIRS Cache, NIFC, USDOS, and the ISS (International Space Station Ham Downlink), adding a vast array of sources for information and intel to your BOB (bug-out bag). The customer-submitted TR-590-SHTF channel programming chart PDF can be downloaded on the TR-590 product page.

Don’t need all of these bands and just want the basic emergency frequencies or want something totally custom? We can custom radio programming for you!

TERA 500-Series Handheld Two-Way Radio AccessoriesThe TR-590 is compatible with all the great TERA 500-Series Accessories, including a battery case, nylon radio case, extra battery packs, 12V battery eliminator (cigarette lighter adapter), speaker mics, covert earpieces, external antennas and cloning/programming cables. As well, free programming (or advanced premium) software is available for access to internal settings not available in the front panel LCD/Keypad menu system.

Each radio comes with a lithium-ion batterydesk chargerdual-band flexible whip antennasturdy belt clip w/ screws, user manual & wrist strap.

The TR-590 also makes for a great Ham HT (handle-talkie), with advanced features like PL Tone Scanning, VFO Tuning, Repeater Offset, Keypad Lock, Single or Dual Receive and even Split-Band Channel programming. Narrow-Band compliance is also provided for commercial and public service Land Mobile users, and a handy built-in flashlight (with optional flashing alarm mode) comes standard.

When you’re ready to get serious about EmComm (emergency communications) and move up from the unreliable throw-away blister-pack GMRS/FRS radios you find at the superstore, and the Chinese budget Baofeng radios that have a lower build-quality, less reliability and are known to emit spurious radiation that can disrupt adjacent services and draw unnecessary attention to your radio operations, make the investment your conscience deserves by picking up a TR-590 today! – Only available at BetterSafeRadio.com

Check out the TR-590 and be prepared!
