Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The DingoTel 2Way system offers an ingenious way to connect your existing two-way radios to the Internet, allowing you to communicate with contacts when you're miles away from your computer. The DingoTel 2Way's simple setup allows you to communicate easily with your contacts in minutes.

Get the most out of your two-way radios by using the Internet as a bridge. The DingoTel 2Way system works by connecting your two-way radio to your computer and then transmitting your voice over the DingoTel network via voice-over-IP (VoIP). There are two parts to the system: the device and the software. The 2Way device plugs into a standard USB jack. Then, using the provided cable, connect one of your radios to the device. It's that simple. There are no power cables or transformers, so you won't need an AC power outlet. Meanwhile, the DingoTel 2Way software works like most instant messaging programs that feature a list of contacts. Making a call is as simple as speaking the words "Call Robert." To add your friends and contacts to your calling list is also simple, and all you need to know is your intended contact's email address and DingoTel 2Way does the rest. Once you have created a list of contacts, you are free to pick up your second radio and move away from the computer. With long distance two-way radios you are able to get miles away from your computer and still communicate for free. Many Motorola radios extend up to 5 miles, and a newer versions from Motorola and other brands have a range up to 10 miles.

The software uses voice recognition to understand your commands and either make or hang up calls with your contacts. Another advantage of the DingoTel system is that call receivers do not need a two-way radio, the 2Way device, or the 2Way software. Instead, they can download DingoTel PC, a free client for connection to the DingoTel Network. There are no fees for the free client, there are no fees for talking with you on your two-way radio. Talking on 2Way is truly free. DingoTel is also ideal for business use. Manage sites in distant locations and reduce your phone bills. And with zero operating costs it offers the ultimate freedom to talk.

What's in the Box
DingoTel 2Way USB sound card device, 2.5mm headset/mic jack fly lead (compatible with Motorola Talkabout and many other radios), quick start guide, software CD-ROM.

5.0 out of 5 stars DingoTel is great, June 19, 2005

By	J. Grossman "atrac286" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

DingoTel is one of the best devices ever to be designed for the consumer grade two-way radio. Since the average GMRS radio currently provides an output power of 1-2 watts, it allows people to move farther apart for communication. This device, however, allows people to be hundreds and thousands of miles apart, or even in another country. It uses the internet to transmit your voice from your radio, so the possibilities are limitless. In this age of broadband internet, there is not even much of a delay between radio transmissions. Just 1-2 adapters can cover an entire neighborhood or campus so that you can have a radio network. I can also see this device being used to manage inventories at multiple locations. Unfortunately, only a single pin cable is included, so all those dual pin radios are useless but of course still can be used for the portable "walk-around" radio. All recent MOTOROLA radios (from the talkabout 280 series and the FR50/60 series on) use a single pin. The recent COBRA radios have a single pin also. ALL MIDLAND radios have dual pins, as well as the older MOTOROLA radios such as the 200, 250, Distance, and Distance DPS.

Instead of going over with you how it works, since you can read about that on the site, I'll go over some PROS and CONS of the DingoTel two-way adapater.

PROS: -cheap
-small
-adjustable codecs to allow for lower bandwidth
-great technical support
-infinite possibilities
-FREE service to use

CONS: -currently, only a single pin wire is included


There are currently only a handful of places to buy the DingoTel device, but so far AMAZON.com beats them for price. I recommend buying it on AMAZON.com rather than at best buy or the DingoTel website, where it's sold for $50.
