Radio Rental Co.--USA Radio Rentals?

[dtscho]

I'm looking for the name of a two-way business radio rental company. I saw some of their radios at an event this weekend, and the sticker said USA _____. I'm assuming it was USA Radio Rental, USA Communications, or something similar. I looked it up on Google, and couldn't find anything (seems many rental companies don't have websites). If anyone knows of a possibility, I'd appreciate a phone number or website. I'd like to ask them what frequencies they use and if they have a license.

By the way, the radios used at the event were VHF (based on antenna), and I didn't get anything from Close Call, even after standing around for several hours.

Thanks,
Dave

Is this it?

I looked at that website, but I don't think it's them. I'm pretty sure the name started with USA, and their name is CommUSA. Also, the logo and lettering that I saw on the radio don't match what is on the CommUSA website.

Thanks for your suggestion though.

Sometimes local radio shops rent radios out. We have one around here that's unbelievably small, and does most of its business in rentals.

Yeah, it's probably a small local place. I know of a couple that even operate out of a house. The business is very direct, so there's no real need to advertise. They mainly work with local production and special events people.

Mystery solved! I e-mailed the organizers of the event (Black Family Reunion Celebration in Washington, DC) and they wrote back that the rental company was Blanchard Communications. Their website is: www.blanchardsusaradios.com. They are the parent company of USA Radio Rentals.
