Icom IC-F4001-02-DTC Two Way Radio (UHF)

Easy to use. Dependable , work / weather resistant.

I bought two of these and just love them. I bought two additional radios so now I have four. I had them all programmed by Cricket Ventures to have Privacy Codes. They work perfect out of the box. It takes a long time to charge the radios but the better way to go is get the AA battery packs because you actually get more power using AA batteries instead of the rechargeable battery that comes with the radio. Plus in a SHTF situation, you might not be able to recharge the battery...hence AA's are the ticket.

I did a lot of research trying to find high quality radios for use in a SHTF situation. These radios are excellent and I am extremely happy with my purchase. The guys and gals at Cricket Ventures (Buy Two Way Radios) were down-to-earth and very helpful. I am going to buy more of these radios for my "team."

Working well so far.

I phone customer service and got the right product and programing to match what the Metro NY PCA uses. Contact was very helpful and I had my radio in a few days. Would like it better at a lower price but it is a rugged well made radio which hope serves me for many years.

I use this radio for communication skiing, and on our remote property. We have 80 acres, and its two miles in from the vehicle. So far I had good reception everywhere. I mainly talk from this radio to mobile radios, in the vehicles, and cabin. I'm also able to hit a repeater (@ 4,100 ft elv.)about 20 - 30 miles away. I have the bubble pack radios as well but this is much better than the other radios in quality. I'm going to order another one of these radios vs. buying any more of the other bubble pack radios.

Everything about the radio is top notch, from use and clear signal. We are very happy with this product!

Great radios, compact but effective. easy to set up and operate. Great price point, and was recommened by a local Corp.of Engs to me.

awesome - we think they should emboss the model number prominantly on the radio

We use these radios for our security teams at our church. We are a 6,000 member evangelical church in Fayetteville, Nc. So far these radios have really worked well for us. They are leaps and bounds beyond the frs/gmrs radios we had been using. The signal is strong and clear and covers our entire property. The one complaint I have is that they are somewhat difficult to conceal, but that is overcome by slightly oversize shirts. All in all a great product for us.
