There are.......

all kinds of 2-way radios at all price levels. Some people pay three hundred dollars and others pay three thousand dollars for a radio that performs the same function! We all have brand preferences. So why does one purchaser prefer a Chevrolet, another Ford, and yet another Toyota? The answer is simple TRADITION (or lack of it). We tend to stick with those things that have proven themselves in the past. We reject things as a result of negative opinions. An acquaintance (Age 76) of our CEO will not drive a German car. Why? Because they were trying to kill him during the second World War! Does have a valid point? Maybe, maybe not, but the point is that he is not likely to change UNLESS it is proven that the product is of superior quality coupled with a price advantage. Then he might change.

Others prefer an automobile because thay started with a Ford or Chevy and they have just never seen a need to change. Most of us started with Motorola 2-way radios. The reason being that our government gave Motorola the exclusive contract to provide ALL civilian radios during World War II. General Electric and RCA were major suppliers before the war. After the war, the only company ready with a product for the public was you guessed it Motorola! So most of us started with Motorola.

By the early sixties some significant changes began to evolve. The big three (Motorola, GE, and RCA) started to feel the competition from a little company that produced the first transistor radio, and later developed scanner technology and low priced 2-way radio. That company, Regency Communications, is the predecessor to what we know today as Relm Communications and they are still challenging the leader. The Japanese have made major advances as well with companies such as ICOM, Kenwood, and Vertex being significant competitors. RCA is gone, and what is left of GE is now called the MA-COM division of TYCO. Now things have come full circle. Motorola is not only a leader in technology but affordability as well. The new CP200 is our personal choice by Motorola.

Now that you know all that, we would like to share the top three choices we recommend based on quality, features, initial cost, and cost of operation. Here is an overview of the the best value in personal communications, at least as we see things.
