MT Intelligence
The domain was registered approximately 28 years ago, aligning with the company's stated 1997 founding in Rancho Dominguez, California. Our business-registration lookup confirmed active status with a valid California Contractors License (1124578, expiring August 2026) and BBB A+ rating. The page displays legitimate retail content—product categories, repair services, contact information, and a 90-day warranty—consistent with a real two-way radio distributor. Independent review sites show positive customer feedback on Yelp and Indeed, with no scam reports or fraud complaints found across consumer-alert databases. The single malware detection from one engine is contradicted by 91 clean detections, zero abuse reports on the hosting IP, and valid SSL certification. The company explicitly disclaims affiliation with Motorola Solutions, a transparency marker absent from fake storefronts.

Still, stay alert
No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.
- Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on discounttwo-wayradio.com and not a lookalike like d-iscounttwo-wayradio.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.
- Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
