                            -------------------------
                               RIGHTS CERTIFICATE

         THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE RIGHTS REPRESENTED BY IT ARE HELD SUBJECT TO
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREIN DESCRIBED. ANY SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE OR
TRANSFER OF THESE RIGHTS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

         This Rights Certificate (the "Rights Certificate") certifies that FOR
VALUE RECEIVED ________________________________ (the "Registered Holder") is the
owner of the number of non-transferable subscription rights (the "Rights") set
forth above, each one (1) Right entitling the owner thereof to purchase from
RELM Wireless Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), at any time
prior to ____________, 2002 (the "Expiration Date"), at the office of The
American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, 59 Maiden Lane, Plaza Level, New
York, NY 10038, or its successors, as Rights Agent (the "Rights Agent"), one (1)
unit (a "Unit"), subject to reduction in the event of over-subscription. Each
Unit consists of one (1) fully paid and non-assessable share of the Company's
common stock, par value $.60 per share (the "Common Stock") and one (1) fully
paid and non-assessable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Warrant") of the
Company, at a purchase price of $_____ (the "Purchase Price"), upon presentation
of this Rights Certificate with the form of election on the reverse side hereof
properly completed and duly executed, accompanied by payment in full of the
Purchase Price in U.S. dollars for the number of Units subscribed by check, bank
check, or money order.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the closing bid price for
the Common Stock on the Expiration Date is less than $____, the Purchase Price
shall be reduced to an amount equal to 90% of the closing bid price of the
Common Stock on the Expiration Date, but in no event, less than $___ per Unit
and the number of Units to be received upon the exercise of each Right shall be
increased in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Rights Agreement
dated ______, 2002, between the Company and the Rights Agent (the "Subscription
Rights Agreement"), the terms, conditions and provisions of which are hereby
incorporated by reference and made a part hereof. Copies of the Subscription
Rights Agreement are available without charge upon written request to the
Company or Rights Agent.

         If a Purchase Price reduction occurs, each Registered Holder will
receive additional Units upon the exercise of their Rights in an amount
corresponding to the payment sent by the Registered Holder. Subscriptions for
Units are non-cancelable and no refunds will be given for subscriptions by a
Registered Holder if a Purchase Price reduction occurs. The Company and the
Rights Agent will make available for subscription, 2,500,000 Units, subject to
an increase to up to 3,000,000 Units to directly reflect any re-pricing of
Units. Regardless of whether a Purchase Price reduction occurs, the Registered
Holder must submit the maximum Purchase Price of $____ per Unit for each Unit
for which the Registered Holder subscribes to purchase.


                                       1

         If the Registered Holder has exercised its basic subscription right in
full, he or she may also subscribe for additional Units pursuant to an
over-subscription right, by completing the over-subscription portion of the form
on the reverse side hereof and presenting it to the Rights Agent along with
payment of the Purchase Price for the over-subscribed Units as therein provided.

         If there are insufficient Units to fill all basic subscriptions, the
Units that are available will be allocated on a pro rata basis in proportion to
the total number of basic subscription Rights exercised by each Registered
Holder, up to a maximum of 2,500,000 Units (subject to an increase of up to
3,000,000 Units to directly reflect any re-pricing of Units pursuant to the
terms of the Subscription Rights Agreement). If all basic subscriptions have
been filled but there are insufficient Units to fill all over-subscriptions, the
Units available to fill over-subscriptions will be allocated to the Registered
Holders who have oversubscribed on a pro rata basis in proportion to the amount
of each Registered Holder's over-subscription.

         The payment for basic and over-subscription Rights will be held in a
special bank account by the Rights Agent. If insufficient Units are available to
fill a Registered Holder's basic or over-subscription request, the Rights Agent
will promptly refund any funds for which Units are unavailable. The funds
returned to Registered Holders as a result of insufficient Units to fill basic
or over-subscription Rights will not bear interest.

         The Rights Agent will issue Unit Certificates to subscribers in
accordance with the Subscription Rights Agreement promptly following the
Expiration Date. The Company will issue no fractional Units. This Rights
Certificate, and the Rights represented hereby are indivisible, non-transferable
and non-assignable.

         Prior to the exercise of any Rights represented hereby, the Registered
Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the Company by
virtue of such holder's ownership of any Rights, including, without limitation,
the right to vote or to receive dividends or other distributions, and shall not
be entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of the Company or to
receive any notice except as provided in the Subscription Rights Agreement.

         This Rights Certificate shall not be valid or obligatory until it shall
have been countersigned by the Rights Agent.
