WRVQ574 reacted to tweiss3 in icom or kenwood
I use Kenwood TK-8150 for mobiles in the car and in the shack. Great radio, and sounds wonderful. As a plus, I have the remote head kits.

to add...i found a thread on the topic on radioreference.com that has some suggestions of some 95a certified Kenwoods; one of the posts on page 3 was even kind enough to provide the FCC ids for their list of kenwood (and other) models.

I want to say I've seen the Kenwood tk8180 and/or 880 in use. Kenwood definitely has a few models that carry dual 90/95a certification...none of them are part of the amateur radio line, though. There's a few members here that are big on Kenwood's and can say better than I ( @Lscottperhaps?)

If your talking LRM radios yes. I have used the ICOM F420, F221S, F221, F6061 as well as a hand full of the ICOM handhelds. At one point ICOM made a FRS unit but its long been discontinued. All are solid decent units with great receivers. I think @Lscott has a few Kenwood LMR and could answer you on that regard. All my Kenwood LMR stuff is VHF.

I typically use the handheld radios. A favorite model is the TK-3170 or TK-3173.

A number of those have Part 95 certification. If you don’t care about that there are more models to choose from. If I want to operate GMRS mobile I just use them with an external antenna. The radios also are programmed with Ham frequencies too.

I have just one Kenwood mobile which I don’t currently use.
