Yup, the news is now out, we are now an official Icom two way radio dealer. Instead of telling you about all the business radios, base stations, and accessories we now carry, I am going let all of you in on something. We have a radio model, well two of them in truth, that all of you enthusiasts will find interesting.
First is the Icom IC-F21GM-02 Two Way Radio. The IC-F21GM is a heavy duty, business quality, repeater capable, 4 watt GMRS radio with a removable antenna for $134.99. I do not need to say more on this do I?
The other radio is the Icom IC-F21BR-01 Two Way Radio. The IC-F21BR is a two watt alternative to the F21GM. The F21GM is designed to double as a GMRS radio and as a business radio. It allows you to talk to both consumer GMRS radios, and low powered UHF business radios like the Kenwood TK-3200L and the Motorola RDU2020. It is also repeater capable, has a removable antenna and we have then for $124.99.
I know that a lot of you have been looking for a high quality GMRS radio that is also repeater capable. Well, these even have removable antennas! I was very excited when I found out that we would be carrying these, and I am certain that a lot of you will be as well.
just came across two new F21BR radios and keep seeing where the radio is repeater capable but, cannot find out how to program the repeater frequencies. Any help is appreciated
Hi John, there are a couple of things to note. First, I'm not sure what you mean by "new". The Icom F21BR was long discontinued and has been out of production for well over a decade. It was an FRS/GMRS radio that also supported some business frequencies on the UHF band. Second, although it was repeater capable, it required the radio to be programmed for a repeater on each channel that was to be set for repeater use, usually by an authorized Icom dealer. As far as I am aware, the channels are not programmed for repeater use by default. Are you planning to use this as a GMRS or business radio?
