Rain In The Savings!

Happy May!

There is an exciting event happening here at Delmmar. Your radio and so many others are 15 OFF the whole month. Wow! I can’t believe that there is a 4-pack offer also happening with the BPR40 and CP110.

Your friends here at Delmmar are excited. If your radios need some more  family members, this is the time to bring them home.  Here are a few radios available:

• CP110: up to 20% louder than most models
• BPR40: best basic radio
• CP200: is durable and reliable, also construction grade
• CM300: is your vehicle mobile solution
• DTR650: is license free 900 MHz, not UHF or VHF

There are several more radios in this 15 OFF event. It excludes the VL50. You can call, send an email, or visit us at www.eradiostore.com

May rains in all the savings for you.  Act now! This event ends June 1, 2012.  And don’t forget, you have 7 months left until the Narrowband change.

Don’t forget we have  flat rate radio repair with a 5-7 work day turnaround.

fishing license…

Here in the Midwest it is the time of year to renew our annual fishing permits. Just finished doing mine online today.  (A new modern convenience.) Getting the permit made me think about how many things we do which require a license or permit… fishing, hunting, driving… and two-way radio transmitting. If you use a two-way radio, chances are you need to have an FCC license. While there are a few license-free frequencies in the USA, most businesses using radios need a license.

Radio users who are affected by the FCC narrowband mandate need to be have a license modification done in order to keep their current frequencies, and add the narrowband version of their frequency to their existing license. You can do this yourself at the www,FCC.gov website OR you can use a licensing company to take the headache out of the process. Either way, we suggest you don’t procrastinate, as the process will likely bog down as we get closer to the deadline and droves of radio users try to slip under the wire. Be an early adopter of the change. You won’t regret it.

LICENSE-FREE: There are 5 license-free VHF frequencies known under the nickname MURS (multi use radio service).  Some users are opting to move over to one of these frequencies. While this will work for some VHF users, this will not work for those of you on UHF.

Also in the license-free arena are the 900 MHz radios such as the DTR650.  These new radios are digital, have much clearer transmissions, and more range than a VHF or UHF radio. If you are looking to replace your radios, this would be a great direction to go. The DTR650 can even do simple test messaging. We’re really impressed with this model and think you would be too.

As always if you have any questions give us a call, 800-872-2627. We’re always happy to help. In the meantime, hope you can take some time to enjoy the simple pleasures like going fishing…

motorola BPR40 savings

BPR40 radios are part of a special savings event all the month of May.
Only $179 ea.  (hurrah!)

Includes either VHF or UHF 1-to-8 channel models.  The BPR40 is a good replacement radio for SP10, SP21, CP100 and XTN radios. And great news, the BPR40 is programmable to the new FCC mandated narrowband channel spacing.

FYI: The BPR40 is a basic walkietalkie style radio without a bunch of bells-toots-and-whistles. It is just the radio for businesses who want basic communication. No reason to pay for all the extra channels and features you rarely use.  Call us if you have questions, 800-872-2627.

NARROWBAND: Are you ready?

Remember the recent change to digital TV?  The radio industry is also going through an FCC mandated change from wideband to narrowband channel spacing. Good news: most 2-way radios purchased in recent years can simply be reprogrammed to the new narrowband channel spacing. Older radios may need to be converted (during a repair) or simply retired. Do you need to know more about this? We have a Narrowband Worksheet made to help you at our eradiostore website. Read the simple worksheet, and then if you still have questions give us a call, 800-872-2627.
