2021 marks BearCom’s 40th anniversary. When the company started, it consisted of two employees and an initial inventory of 40 two-way radios. They specialized in renting two-way radios to small, local events.

Now, forty years later, the business has grown to over 1,000 employees, and it is Motorola’s #1 Channel Partner worldwide.

In fact, BearCom now has over 80 branch locations across the country, all backed by its 92,000-square-foot fulfillment and support center in Dallas. Today, the company is focused on moving forward with the same ambition it showed four decades ago.

Motorola just announced the cancellation of the VX-261 line of radios due to unforeseen supplier issues and parts shortages. Due to the short notice from Motorola, the BearCom team has a very limited supply left of the VX-261.

The VX-261 cancellation includes a few models, which are listed below:
