Regardless of your need.......

or your budget, we’ve got a mobile radio that is just right for you! Our most affordable mobile is the Relm RM3000 VHF model with 25 watts of power for just $268.  This incredible radio is user field programmable with no PC or special tools required.  Another model, not listed below is the BK/Relm GMH model.  Not only is it field programmable, but it can be upgraded later to full APCO-25 digital capability.  Additional information on this model is available by clicking here.

Another model of interest to Low Band users is the new Ritron Series 60 mobile.   It's made in the USA with the quality and performance that you have come to expect from Ritron.  

For those who know and appreciate Motorola quality, we offer the CM300 series for the budget conscious as well as  for those who want the best in affordable communications.  

The Midland Olympian Series is an outstanding value with 45 watts of power in either VHF or UHF plus seven built in weather channels with NOAA alerting capability, MIL-SPEC reliability, and even a data connector jack for connection to external data devices.  

All of our radios are APCO-25 Phase One compliant (i.e. they will operate on either standard 25 kHz or the new 12.5 kHz narrow band channels which will remain legally compliant through 2013).  The new ICOM 1721 and 2721 series can be upgraded to full digital capability when required.  This provides migration capability at reasonable cost!

We’ve got lots of new things for you!  For additional information, visit our main web site at www.falcondirect.com, give us a call at 1-800-489-2611, or come see us at 36 – 20th Avenue NW in downtown Center Point, Alabama.  You are always welcome!
