Comparing our top choice Handheld Radios
We like the Motorola EX500 and HT1250 as well as
the new Ritron SLX-100/400 and ICOM F3061/
4061 Series radios. We thought it might be helpful to show a side by side
comparison of each radio.
This will allow you to choose the model and features best suited to your
individual requirements. Items
highlighted in RED indicate a superior capability in the listed
comparison.
