Motorola BPR50dX Radio - UHF Model AAH88SCK8AD5BN
If you need a radio with a battery that lasts ALL day, the Mag One BPR50dX-U is for you! We are talking up to 23 hours of battery life. More than enough juice to get you through a whole workday!
The BPR50dX two-way radio operates on UHF analog and digital frequencies. This gives you the flexibility to slowly transition your fleet of radios over to digital. There are so many benefits to digital, and I could go on and on (so I did in this article!).
But to briefly sum it up and not leave you hanging... you are going to get better audio quality (no static), extended range, better battery life and access to advanced features like 'call-all' to send a message to everyone, regardless of channels.
Digital is basically the future of two-way radios.
On the topic of audio quality, this radio has a 3-watt audio power output and noise cancellation, essentially meaning your messages will be heard loud and clear.
Employee safety is crucial. Some states are even passing legislature for specific safety requirements, like an emergency button available to staff.
Fortunately, the BPR50dX-U has you covered! Equipped with an emergency button, 'lone worker' feature and remote monitoring - this two-way radio will keep your staff SAFE.
