Clear Communications

Great system for the money! We upgraded a few items such and the ptt, crew headset along with roof mount antenna. We now have clear radio communications at every track we have race at including Watkins Glenn, MO and Road AM. SRC was great to work with and shipping was seemless.

Very surprised on how well they worked

Excellent price. The digital is the way to go much clearer voice. The last is pretty long range. For a starter package I rate it as a 10

Big Thank You / Great Customer Service

After struggling to get working radios for our ChampCar team for 4 years, I listened to a Garage Heroes Podcast with Shawn Sampson. Could hear the enthusiasm / genuinity in his voice and felt this was the company to go with. After calling and talking to Sara Palafox, I was further impressed with the customer service, attention to my needs / concerns, and recommendations. I'm happy to report that the setup we purchased worked PERFECTLY and played into one of our highest finishes ever as communications were key!

PERFECT Quality Communications!

Shawn, I wanted to give you an update on how things are going. We ran our boat at Soap Lake, WA this past weekend and ran your radios for the first time. I have to say those digital radios are so clear! I never lost communication with my spotter and we could hear each other perfectly, Thank you. I haven't yet mounted the sharkfin antenna but will for our next race June 9-11 in Richland, WA. We found those radios are crystal clear even without that sharkfin antenna even on a monster 1 2/3 mile record course! We are still working out a few bugs with the boat but took 3rd place overall in our first race. We are running your radios in the 5 Liter class which runs a 350 cubic inch stock engine. The boat's name is "E-6 Raining Thunder". I will keep you updated how our season progresses and send you a few pictures you can use. Thank you again, Michael Jarvis Driver: E-6 Raining Thunder Hydroplane
