| That other sale’s company that sold me my radios said, “they
won’t work with other brands”. It’s BS!
**All FM business band radios in the same frequency range will talk to each other
provided they’re programmed correctly.
OEM batteries work better on radios than those manufactured by others. It’s BS!
** Those other manufacturers made the batteries for the OEMs.
These radios have an operating range of up to 5 miles. It’s BS!
** Range does not have a Black & White answer. There are too many variables
to be addressed.
BS means Bad Salesmanship!
It means not working in a customer’s best interest. Its what makes your
job as a radio consumer more difficult.
Conflicting claims, brand M is the best, brand K is
the only radio for you, brand E is the highest quality. The truth
is there are only a couple of substandard brands on the market in the U.S. today (which
are legal department feels that it is in our best interest not to mention), and these aren’t
even major brands. With the exception of those brands, every manufacturer makes some
great radios as well as has some lower quality as well.
What it takes to make your job easier as a radio consumer is no BS. Just provide
you with all the information needed to make a cost-effective decision on what brand and
model is best for your specific needs. How often do you find a radio shop that only
sells one brand of radio? If one brand is better than all the rest, then why do they
sell the others?
Some manufacturers feel their equipment should demand a higher price. Other
manufacturers carry lower inventory levels of replacement parts, which will have a
negative affect on the serviceability of your equipment. There are other
manufacturers that warn you about using accessories that are not OEM but purchase the same
equipment, slap their label on it and sell it at exorbitant prices.
Does anyone reading this really believe that Motorola, Kenwood, Ericsson, or any radio
manufacturer produce their own batteries? They don’t.
Does everyone get a good chuckle when you here claims of being “MADE IN AMERICA”?
That particular manufacturer even stamps its equipment with a code to indicate the
real country of origin. You as a customer deserve a little more respect, and a lot
less BS. You shouldn’t have to wonder what sales claims are
just Bad Salesmanship , and what is important
information. It’s your money, find a salesperson you trust, who is
knowledgeable, and help him understand your needs. Radios are a tool, but so was
that $600.00 hammer the Military was buying. |
