In these times of increasingly tight budgets, many schools and government agencies look to save money by purchasing cheap pre-programmed radios from big box stores, in place of higher-end Motorolas and Kenwoods through a reputable communications company.
Occasionally, this is a smart move. But more often than not, it leads to expensive headaches.
A $30 radio won't have the power to reach much beyond the classroom or office next door. Plus, without custom programming, it won't communicate well with existing radios. The result: Wasted money on useless equipment.
When you order a good quality Motorola or Kenwood from South Sales Communications, you can be assured it will perform up to your expectations. Upon arrival in our shop, we use proprietary software to program each radio to precise custom channels and frequencies, to ensure your radios will all communicate with each other and perform the way you need them to.
Plus, tough materials and workmanship combined with powerful batteries, means your equipment will stand the test of time--and distance.
