In my part of the world, dealers push Motorola or Harris until they find a department that's a little more cost conscious and then they almost universally push EJF Kenwood. ICOM is going to have really up their game with better response, service, and price (for equivalent quality & performance) if they have any hope of breaking into this market. That doesn't seem to be happening, yet.
I had Batwings on my check for almost 20 years and I have a biased opinion that Moto's flagship products are in a league of their own; thanks to the engineers. Their business policies, however, really went downhill before I left; no thanks to their management.
Even with my admitted bias, I am continually amused that radios which are superior to the HT's/Sabers/etc. that were the gold standard not that long ago, are now considered inadequate for "mission-critical" applications. Today, if the radio can't pound nails into a 2x4, get dragged through the bottom of Lake Michigan, survive getting run over by a tank, and take a bullet through the heart, it's not good enough for Public Safety. I'd suggest that if your life depends on your radio, don't pound nails with it, throw it at a brick wall, or soak it for hours in 10 feet of water.
If your life really depends on it, maybe you should keep it securely in a holder/pouch/carrier that is appropriate to the mission. (and don't use the antenna for a handle or tie it in a knot, either)
