Founded on decades of experience in the 2-way radio industry, Radio Communications Specialists provides a forum where the customer’s needs are addressed honestly from the customer’s point of view. Our experience in the field and our willingness to adopt the technology of the future ensure your radio communications will be clear, modern, and secure.

RCS Founder Jewel Windle found there was very little healthy competition within the industry, offering little to no incentive to go the extra mile for the customers. Frustrated with the state, Jewel started Radio Communications Specialists to cater to small and private entities that needed the most return on investment for their limited budgets. As time passed, larger customers found value in the quality of service we could provide.
