P25 Radios from Motorola

Fireman with radioPoliceman with radioMotorola is one of the oldest suppliers of P25 radios in the world.  Those who are familiar with the Motorola product distribution system are aware that the different products are sold through different sales channels.  Public safety products are sold both directly, by Manufacturer's Representatives, and by communications dealers such as Falcon Direct.  The intermediate public safety P25 offerings XTS Series are comparable with the offerings of E.F. Johnson and Harris.  The high tier offerings are primarily for military use and are rarely seen in the public safety sector.  Falcon Direct is not involved in the sale of either intermediate or high tier offerings.  We specialize in entry level P25 radios from Motorola that can be upgraded from analog to digital.  These are high performance radios with basic features specifically addressing the needs of public safety users.  Only portable and mobile models are offered.

At regular prices, Motorola P25 radios offer outstanding value.  At Alabama State Contract prices, these radios are in a class by themselves!  Any public safety organization in our Approved Marketing Area  can purchase at these prices. A copy of the ICOM offerings on the Alabama State Contract is available at http://falcon.radio-dealers.com for pricing.
