Understanding Impact’s Two-Way Radio Accessory Part Codes

The two-way radio industry is full of acronyms and part codes. Understanding them can be rather complicated and you may wonder if you need to be a rocket scientist to figure out what they all mean. Don’t worry, read on to learn the lingo!

We’ve been in the radio accessory business since 1999 and know a thing or two about what dealers and users want in accessories. While part codes may seem confusing, once you understand the logic, it actually makes a lot of sense!

Let’s Help You Learn the Impact Lingo:

• The first letter always indicates a radio brand
• All accessories that connect with a two-way radio have their part code start with a connector type
• The product series type follows to specify out three options: Platinum, Gold, or Silver Series.

Here’s A Breakdown for Two Surveillance Kits:

M1-P2W-AT1

• M1 = Connector type Motorola 2 pin
• P = Platinum Series
• 2W= Two Wire
• AT = Acoustic Tube
• 1 = Type of acoustic tube

K2-G1W-EH1

• K2 = Connector type Kenwood multi-pin
• G = Gold Series
• 1W = One-wire
• EH1 = Ear-hook style 1 (our Gold Series includes 12 earpiece options)

Quick Tip: To determine if you need a one-wire or two-wire kit, count the cables coming out of the radio to determine if there are one or two wires.
