COMMON QUESTIONS

What kind of radios do you install?

We install GMRS, ham and CB radios, public safety radios for police, fire and EMS, and public safety scanners. Based in Naperville, serving Chicagoland.

Do you offer radio programming?

We can program just about any radio on the market. Availability depends on the make and model and access to the required software. Tell us how you use the radio and where you operate so we can configure it for your needs and location.

How long does a radio installation take?

Radio installation can take 1.5 hours or more. Timing depends on the radio's make and model and the equipment involved, including antennas, handhelds, microphones and speakers. Send your equipment and vehicle details for an estimate.

Which radio brands are you familiar with?

We aren't limited to one brand. We're familiar with Uniden, Stryker, Motorola, Kenwood, B-tech, Icom, Yaesu and Midland. Ask us about your make and model.

What areas do you serve?

All of Chicagoland. The shop is in Naperville, IL and we work across DuPage, Will, Kane, Cook, Kendall, McHenry and Lake Counties, including the city of Chicago and the western, northwest, and southwest suburbs.

Do you come to us, or do we bring the truck to you?

Both. Most single-vehicle work happens at the Naperville shop. For commercial fleets we schedule on-site and yard visits across the Chicago metro so trucks stay in service.

Are your amber warning light installs legal in Illinois?

Illinois law limits when flashing lights may be used, and authorization depends on the vehicle classification and use. We select and configure warning-light systems using the information the customer provides, with 625 ILCS 5/12-212 and 625 ILCS 5/12-215 as primary state references. The owner or operator must confirm that the vehicle has all required authority and permits.

Who may use amber, red, blue, or green warning lights in Illinois?

Illinois Vehicle Code Section 12-215 assigns specific warning-light colors and types to authorized vehicle classifications. Eligibility can depend on the vehicle, agency, duty, written authorization, or permit. We do not assume a color is permitted based only on the requested installation. Customers should verify their authority under the current statute and any applicable local or agency rules.

How long does a lighting install take?

A straightforward beacon or grille strobe install is usually same day. A full work truck warning package or a custom off-road build typically takes one to two days depending on parts and wiring.

Is there a minimum number of vehicles for fleet work?

No minimum. We handle one truck or an entire fleet, and we standardize the setup across vehicles so every unit in the fleet is wired and switched the same way.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on the vehicle, the parts chosen, and how much wiring is involved. Send the vehicle details and what you need and you get a written quote back, usually the same day. Fleet pricing is available for multi-vehicle work.

Do you supply the lights, or can we bring our own parts?

Either. We source quality LED gear, and we are happy to install parts you already bought as long as they are safe and suitable for the vehicle.
