Designed to pair seamlessly with <b>GMRS-PRO<\/b>, <b>GMRS-50PRO<\/b>, <b>UV-PRO<\/b>, and <b>UV-50PRO<\/b>, both speaker mics let users keep the radio mounted or stowed while operating comfortably from the mic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For many users, the goal is simple: cleaner installs, fewer cable snags, and faster access when you are moving. Whether your radio is clipped to a pack, mounted in a vehicle, or tucked out of the way, the BS-series speaker mics keep push-to-talk and key controls right where your hand naturally goes. Both models are built for messy conditions with IP54 weatherproof durability, a 1200mAh rechargeable battery, and modern USB-C charging for easy top-offs from power banks, vehicle USB, or standard wall adapters (5V\/1A recommended).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The new BS-50 is the premium option for users who want more than basic PTT. It adds a 1.44\u201d color display and 6 additional front buttons for fast, on-the-go operation without reaching for the radio. It also includes a built-in GPS and electronic compass for navigation-aware field use cases. Alongside the BS-50 release, BTECH is also launching the BS-22 in Tan, giving users a new colorway of the compact, rugged wireless mic that keeps the focus on simple, reliable operation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Key highlights of the BS-50 and BS-22 include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>Made for BTECH PRO-Series Radios:<\/b> Designed to pair and operate seamlessly with <b>GMRS-PRO<\/b>, <b>GMRS-50PRO<\/b>, <b>UV-PRO<\/b>, and <b>UV-50PRO<\/b> for everyday use, vehicles, and field work.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>BS-50 Full Remote Control:<\/b> <b>1.44\u201d color display<\/b> plus <b>6 front buttons<\/b> to mirror key functions on the mic so you can make changes without grabbing the radio.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>BS-50 GPS + Electronic Compass:<\/b> Built-in location and heading tools for added utility in field and navigation-aware use cases.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>BS-22 Now Available in Tan:<\/b> The same compact, rugged wireless speaker mic, now offered in a tan colorway to match your kit.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>IP54 Weatherproof Durability:<\/b> Built to handle rain, splash, and dust with rugged construction for outdoor trips, job sites, and vehicle use.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>Up to &lt;10m Bluetooth Range (Open Conditions):<\/b> Effective wireless distance for typical setups; obstacles and environments can reduce range.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>USB-C Charging + 1200mAh Battery:<\/b> Recharge with modern USB-C; easy top-offs from power banks, vehicle USB, or wall adapters (5V\/1A recommended).<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>Programmable Keys + Multi-Color Status LEDs:<\/b> Assign common actions like volume, channel, mute, and scan (where supported), with at-a-glance TX\/RX, pairing, mute, and charging indicators.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>Expanded Compatibility:<\/b> Full control with <b>VGC N-Series<\/b> (where supported) and audio-only use with select Icom\/Yaesu models (compatibility and functions vary by radio mode\/firmware).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Both speaker mics are available now through authorized BTECH retailers and online.
