Affordable and flexible P25 Radios from ICOM!

ICOM P25 SystemsICOM offers more choices at less cost that anybody.  With an Alabama State Contract discount of 37.25% off MSRP, you get true affordability without sacrificing quality.  Of equal importance, ICOM gives you choices.  You can choose upgradeable mobiles and portables that cost no more than ordinary public safety analog radios.  The difference is that these radios can be upgraded to full P25 digital capability when desired.  If you prefer, you can start with full P25 digital radios at significant cost savings over comparable offerings from other manufacturers.  The new 9000 Series mobiles and portables even have P25 digital trunking capability at considerably less cost than other P25 trunking radios.  If trunking is a  new term to you, we will simply say for now that conventional radio systems operate with a single channel available for all system users.  Trunking provides automatic access to multiple channels. For additional information on trunking radio systems go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trunked_radio_system  

At regular prices, ICOM P25 radios offer outstanding value.  At Alabama State Contract prices, these radios are in a class by themselves!  Any public safety organization, anywhere in the USA is entitled to these prices.  A copy of the ICOM offerings on the Alabama State Contract is available at www.info4u.us/icomcontract.pdf.
