Sneak Peek at America's first DMR digital 2-way radio priced LOWER than analog
The Blue Button Radio is fully compatible with the DMR digital standard when used in the open standard non-encrypted mode on single site non-trunked repeaters or conventional base stations, mobiles, and fixed base stations.
According to Falcon Direct, the company that designs, manufactures, and service specialized products for a variety of users including major public safety agencies in the USA, very soon, they will be offering a full powered, full featured DMR digital radio for less than money than analog.
Earlier this year, the company introduced the BlueBox and now the tradition continues with the introduction of the Blue Button Radio, or BBR.
The BBR is fully compatible with the DMR digital standard used by Hytera, Motorola, Tait, and Vertex when used in the open standard non-encrypted mode on single site non-trunked repeaters or conventional base stations, mobiles, and fixed base stations.
The company states further in their blog: "If you want to keep paying big bucks for DMR radios that are purposefully programmed to lock out competitive models, you can keep on paying. Or, you can tell your supplier to turn off that useless proprietary encryption feature so that YOU will have control over your radio system."
Falcon Direct now offers these radios at just $369 for the standard 16/32 channel model, or $389 for the full keypad/display model. And, with a trade action the company will allow up to $100 for your old radio(s) for every BBR radio purchased.
The formal introduction is expected to be made in mid October.
