 | What's the best mobile for YOU? |
Hardly a day goes by that we are not asked to recommend the best mobile at the best price with the best service. Sounds like a fair question until you consider who is asking and what expectations they may have.
If there is a coverage issue, the one asking the question wants a mobile that talk in poor coverage areas. More often than not, they will say something like what's your best price on a 100 watt mobile? The problem here is that the user may not be authorized by the FCC for 100 watts (not a problem till the enforcement guys show up...). There is also the issue of size. More power means a bigger radio and there is always the issue of cost - typically three times (or more) than the cost of a traditional 40/50 watt mobile.
So what is our answer? Without getting into technical issues, the direct answer is that the best value in a 100 watt mobile is the Midland TITAN for under $1,200. More information is available at www.falcondirect.com/midland/titan. If you want the best value in a high powered mobile, it is the compact and affordable 75 watt Midland ML series for UNDER $300!

If you are applying for federal grant money, you should specify a mobile capable of operating in the APCO-25 analog/digital narrow band mode. Not only will you enhance your chances for an award, you will be investing in a mobile that will meet federal agency operational standards. The best value in a P25 mobile is the ICOM F1721 VHF and F2721 series. With a price of under a thousand dollars, nothing else even comes close and this is one of only a few digital mobiles that is compatible with analog 2-tone paging. Additional information on our most popular mobiles is available at www.falcondirect.com/mobiles.
