Welcome to our Blog site. Going forward, the following will be our only post for 2017. We've been on the web for a long, long time, but we figured it was time to do something different. You can read all about our 2017 Plan in the post below. In closing, let me share the words of my favorite poet - And they copied, and they copied, but they couldn't copy my mind, so I left them sweating and stealing, a year and a half behind.

New ICOM F3031S and F4031S Series Radios - Built to YOUR specifications!
New ICOM portable- the best of the best in analog portable communications, especially designed for the needs of public safety users. We recently asked our public safety and industrial users what they most wanted in a personal 2-way radio.
Not surprisingly, the answer was clear audio, long battery life, low operational cost and the ability to operate in high moisture and/or dusty environments. They wanted a radio that was simple to use with a display that was easy to read, and a few "hot" buttons for fast control of programmable functions. None of them wanted a full keypad! Lastly, they wanted a radio that was reasonably priced. Guess what? ICOM built a radio following these guidelines. It is called an F3031S (VHF) and the F4031S (UHF). The price is just $378 with standard 10 hour desk charger or $399 with a 3 hour rapid desk charger.
