Who is Radios Across America?
Radios Across America LLC desires to serve its customers with the highest level of customer service and the highest quality radios at the best possible price without compromising on excellence. In short, when dealing with Radios Across America LLC you will receive good VALUE from your radio investment.
Our business is all about helping our customers communicate via two-way radios. Although our motto is “Connecting people across the states!”, it’s really much more than that. We want to help businesses (and consumers – end user clients – as well) create a culture in which simplicity of communications is not only a concept but a fact of life in their daily existence. Radios should not be “black boxes” to the folks who use them. Our discipline of educating clients regarding the radios with which they communicate helps them understand the capabilities and limitations of their radio system(s) so that they can get the most out of them. It also allows us to discover any possible problems with unmet or unrealistic expectations and head them off before they become a crisis.
Our technical capabilities include not only system design and implementation but repair and installation utilizing qualified and highly experienced technicians and installers. We also have, upon request, contracted wide-area repeater coverage available with coverage over a good portion of Arizona.
Because RAA is an independent two-way radio dealer, we are not beholden to one singular, specific brand of equipment which we must always offer. We are free to select from many different brands of high-quality two-way radios, antennas, accessories, repeaters, and other communication tools to help our customers reach their communication needs. We encourage you to give us a try by sending your communications requirements and allowing us to serve you as your two-way radio provider.
Tim Mrva
President, Co-Owner
Radios Across America was born from a lifelong interest in electronics and communications, by Tim Mrva. He was sparked by building crystal diode radios and Knight Kit walkie-talkies at an early age. As a teen, he built instrument amplifiers for the rock bands he was involved with throughout high school. After high school, he obtained a CB license (back when they were still being issued) and dabbled in CB for a few years until – in 1976 -he took his Novice Amateur radio exam in Detroit, Michigan, and passed. His call was WD8QLB
Tim has worked in multiple industries over the years including Manufacturing, Warehousing, as General Manager for a Ham Radio shop, as a Manufacture’s Representative for Commercial Two-Way Radio companies, as a Sales Rep for the Wire and Cable industry, a Database Manager for a Wire and Cable Distributor, and as an office/operations manager at a local Two-Way Radio Dealer. An entrepreneur at heart, Tim has owned and operated a two-way radio installation company, a small manufacturing concern, a web design firm, an online domain name and hosting sales company, and has been a representative for a few different network marketing organizations. Tim is the owner of Radios Across America, which was established on January 01, 2021 and he ran it part time until retiring from his “Day Job” at another Communications Company in June of 2022. On July 01, 2022 Tim began running Radios Across America LLC full-time, with a focus being (as the company motto says), “connecting people across the states!” With that in mind we serve customers from coast-to-coast as well as in our lovely state of Arizona.
Tim has had a passion for and has been involved in two-way radio in one way or another for over 58 years. He is an FCC licensed Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) operator – call sign N7EGK and a GMRS licensee – WQRV903.
Tim lives and works with his wife of 45 years. His wife is kind of a “behind the scenes” sort of gal and is not actively involved in two-way radio other than “by osmosis”, plus taking care of order picking, shipping and receiving and many accounting and support functions for the company.
He has three children and three grandchildren. He and his wife are born-again believers in Jesus Christ and are actively serving and attending their home church here in Phoenix. Tim is the founder of the Arizona GMRS Repeater Club – which now has nearly 600 members – and has served there as a board member.
