Abbreviation: belcom
Summary: Belcom;
Brand name of:
Nikon Dengyo Co. Ltd.
4-10, I-Chome Kaga, Itabashi-Ku,

A small company producing HAM radio equipment, especially for VHF/UHF ranges
("Liner" series). Last radios (Hand-helds/HTs) they mfg. were made in

who worked for KLM during this period when Belcom was making radios for
KLM (Belcom's Liner 2 became the KLM ECHO II in the USA).
