A Radio and Intercom for your Railcar. I stock several different models of MOTOROLA Mobile Radios.  I also have a complete stock of Aviation Intercoms and Headsets from David Clark, Sigtronics, and Avcomm, as well as accessories and replacement parts.  I only work on MOTOROLA Mobile Radios, as I do not have Programming Cable + Software to interface to "Other Brand" radios.
I recently developed a Trans-portable Case that contains both a 2 Place Intercom and a Mobile Radio.  This unit is designed especially for "Open railcars" like M-9's or other railcars that have an open cab, where it is not possible to secure the Radio + Intercom in the railcar overnight.  This portable "Package" has only two connections - the DC Power Cable and the Antenna connector.  There is a folding handle on the box to allow it to be easily carried to the hotel on multi-day excursions.

Intercoms and Headsets for your Railcar - Aviation Intercoms and Headsets can protect your hearing, reduce the discomfort of the high level noise while operating your railcar. They also increase your safety by improving the communications with your crew members. You can start with just the Intercom + Headsets, then later connect to a Radio Scanner or a 2 Way Mobile Radio to monitor Excursion activity. I have many quality Aviation Intercoms for your Railcar. I have both New and Used Intercoms. All Intercoms have been tested and carry a One Year warranty.
Intercoms are available that can support 2 or 4 Headsets. Some of the basic portable intercoms can be powered by an internal 9 Volt battery (or an external 12 Volt source with an optional power cord). The fixed mount units are powered by 12 Volts from your railcar system. Interface adapters are available to allow any Intercom to connect to your Motorola Mobile Radio.Please call and we can discuss an Intercom for your railcar.

EZ-Install Antenna for your Railcar - two styles antennas available. (Without an efficient antenna, your radio will suffer from short range).
Type "A” Antenna has an 18” whip and mounts in a 3/8” hole. It can be mounted on any roof surface up to 1/2” thick. It works very well on railcars with a metal roof $ 38 plus shipping. Railcars with a fiberglass roof can use this antenna with an optional ground plane kit (please inquire).“
Type "B” antenna consists of an 18” whip mounted on a 90 degree bracket. It is used on the rear of railcars with a fiberglass cab. It can also be mounted on the vertical posts of some open railcars. $ 48 plus shipping
At time of order, please specify if you need a Mini-UHF 3/8” Connector (Motorola Mobiles) or a Full size 3/4” UHF Connector (used on most other mobile radios). I can also provide adapters to connect these antennas to most scanners.
Note: the “Standard” Motorola NMO Mobile Antenna mount is designed for application on road vehicles that have a thin 20 Gauge sheet metal roof. It would require some significant adaptation to be useful on most railcars. Please call if you have any special antenna requirements. I also have 48” Gain Antennas that provide somewhat better range, as well as some “No Groundplane” Antennas. (Due to their very narrow Bandwidth, I do not recommend Sinclair Excaliber or ASP Linebacker Antennas for railcar use).
