A Tait radio is not just a solitary product, but a platform that supports a range of great accessories. The right choice of accessories can help keep first responders and officers safe and connected when serving their communities.

We recommend tailoring each user’s experience, the device and the accessories that accompany it to reflect the intensity of their industry and role in their agency. In 2019, it was reported that there were over 800,000 police officers in the US alone. Each of these officers needs a communications device, and those devices can better serve officers with a battery that is the right balance of weight and shift-life, carry accessories for security, and the right audio accessories – such as speaker mics and ear-pieces. Accessories allow you to optimize particular aspects of your comms devices, allowing calls to be heard first time during normal operations and emergencies.

Charging portable radios within a vehicle is a vital aspect of everyday operation, especially for public safety agents who rely heavily on their communications devices at all times. The TP900 vehicle charger serves as a charging solution for portable radios even in the toughest vehicle environments, ensuring batteries are optimally charged to keep users connected over long shifts. The vehicle charger can charge batteries connected to the radio, and also on their own.

This charger holds the radio, exceeding crash-test requirements, minimizing in-vehicle hazards in the event a vehicle accident were to occur. The charging port also displays charging information such as battery faults, and charging cycle.

The Heavy Duty Leather Carry Case provides a tough solution to keep all TP9000 series portable radios safe from damage, while keeping your hands free. The case allows for improved coverage by pushing the antenna farther form the body, to prevent blocking or absorbing signal. The D-clip attaches to the user’s belt allowing the radio to hang from your waist in a secure fashion. 

The D-clip was designed to allow free movement of users who frequently enter and exit vehicles at a moments notice, alongside quick changes in movement and elevation. The radio must be rotated upside-down in order to be released from the clip.

The D-clip belt loop stud is made from heavy duty cowhide leather, and provides a tough solution to secure your carry case. This accessory is suitable for all industries, and excels in the toughest of work environments.
