This is the place.......
where you can select the personal radio that is just right for your individual needs. We offer five basic categories, one of which should be best suited for meeting your individual needs. We offer three top tier conventional analog models, the HYT TC-700 non-display model and the Ritron SLX Series with LCD display as our recommended choices for analog users. The Motorola DTR650 is an excellent choice for on-site use. The ICOM 3061/4061 and Motorola MOTOTRBO XPR6550 have both analog and digital capabilities. The ICOM F3061 and 4061 also have trunking capabilities.
