Comparing our top choice Digital Radios
| Planning an effective migration to digital
doesn't have to be difficult. We have prepared the following comparisons on our top digital and/or digital upgradeable radios. The Motorola DTR is an ideal choice for on-site use (retail, hospitality, etc.). The BK Relm GPH (not shown below) is the ideal radio for firefighters who participate in activities with the U.S. Forest service. For additional information on the GPH, please click here. The ICOM F3061 and F4061 represent the most affordable migration to commercial digital operation for business users and the ICOM F70/80 and F1721/2721 are best suited for law enforcement applications. For additional information, please visit our digital home page by clicking here. We also offer the Motorola DTR and the new MOTOTRBO. However, we are not permitted to advertise these products for sale on the Internet. Additional information is available at http://falcon.radio-dealers.com, a special web site that we maintain exclusively for Motorola products. You can obtain local area pricing by entering your Zip code if you are in the Birmingham, Alabama metro area. For a specific price quote, please call us at 1.800.489.2611.
