P25 will be required in 2010
This is an alert to our customers of the upcoming requirements
for all interagency wildfire and DOI aviation contracts and possible
equipment shortages. We want to help you to be proactive regarding
these upcoming contract requirements and associated issues.
There is a limited amount of time before 2010 when contracted
aircraft will be required to have P25 compliant digital radios.
It appears that the number of aircraft that need these FM tactical
radios exceeds the production capabilities of the manufacturers.
Aircraft without P25 compliant FM tactical radios will not be
able to meet the contract requirements in 2010. In spite of rumors,
there will be no extensions to the 2010 requirement. Please click
here to see the technical
bulletin 08-01 issued by Interagency Aviation.
Currently, lead times for some FM tactical radios is as far as
August 2009 for orders placed today.
FMesales has radios in stock and we are working hard to maintain
stock of P25 compliant tactical FM radios so that you can stay
in business. We will have difficulty keeping up with the demand
of these contracted aircraft over the next 17 months. FMesales
wants to help you stay in business. Please don't wait until the
last minute to order radios.
Even though demand is high for these radios, FMesales is still
offering the same discounted prices our customers have come to
rely upon. We are accepting orders right now and will maintain
these prices as long as we can. Contact FMesales as soon as possible
so we can reserve your equipment for you.
In addition...your current analog FM radios will not be able
to be used for interagency wildfire and DOI aviation contracts
after 2009. The market value of these radios is predicted to drop
based on supply and demand. The time is now to recoup as much
value from your old FM radios as you can. FMesales can help your
business sell these radios on consignment only until December
2009.
FMesales has manufactured harness adapters to make the transition
from one radio type to another inexpensive, quick, and easy. FMesales
is a distributor of all the support products and accessories including
the popular NAT AA34-300, AUX FM 10 pin MS connectors, AMS44 audio
panels, and all other accessories provided by NAT, Technisonic,
and Wulfsburg.
FMesales sincerely appreciates your past and present business
and we look forward to serving you over the next year to help
you maintain your position of high standard that your companies
reputation has earned.
Sincerely,
Jamie Werner, Pres.
