New BK Radio GPH-CMD Command Portable Radio Introduced by RELM Wireless

WEST MELBOURNE, Fla., April 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RELM Wireless Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: RELM) today announced the introduction of a high-specification, enhanced and expanded portable radio for field command and coordination functions, the BK Radio GPH-CMD Command. Capable of field communications over 500 channels, with 25 groups of 20 channels per group, the new BK Radio GPH-CMD Command radio is designed for operation on the 136-174 MHz VHF frequency band. Meeting rigid MIL-STD 810 C/D/E military specifications, the new BK Radio GPH-CMD has also received FCC Type Acceptance as well as IC (Industry Canada) certification.

"The new GPH-CMD Command radio incorporates the inherent strength and versatility of engineering and design in our premier BK Radio-brand products," commented RELM President and CEO David Storey. "Designed on our digital BK Radio platform, this new fortified and enhanced portable was specially engineered to meet the requirements of a longtime RELM customer, the California Department of Forestry. After rapidly completing the new product design, RELM received its first order totaling approximately $700,000 for the BK Radio GPH-CMD Master Command radios and accessories from the California Department of Forestry in January of this year. The resulting new product design may now serve field command and tactical coordination roles for many other agencies and organizations as well. Responding to customer needs and problems leads to smarter solutions we can then share with all our customers.

"The new GPH-CMD Command radio is a remarkably powerful and versatile tool, but still at the lower cost associated with our company's primary value proposition: More Radio for Your Dollar," Storey concluded.
