This year has seen a vast range of two-way radio’s entering the competitive field, almost to a bewildering extent! In order to help you through this baffling array of technical merchandise, here at Resound Limited, we have identified the 5 most popular two-way radios with all their fabulous idiosyncrasies – designed and made just for you! Follow us through WHY it is the prime time to upgrade and explore new, exciting options in two-way radio.

1. Motorola DP4000e Series (DP4400e, DP4600e, DP4800e) +01 versions (give Bluetooth, GPS)

An enhanced version of the DP4000 series, which in turn had superseded the DP3000 series.

Designed for skilled professionals, Motorola’s DP4000e series focuses on delivering complete connectivity to your business. The OI models integrate Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, location tracking and plenty of cleverly designed safety and productivity features to safeguard your workforce and boost productivity. The DP4400e specifically has survived tough military-standard testing to earn its IP68 waterproof rating, and if longevity is a priority, you’ll be impressed by this radio’s battery; it provides up to 28 hours charge – ideal for multi-shift working. This model also has an improved receiver which boosts its range by up to 8% compared to previous models.

For users who want the full gamut of digital features without compromise, the DP4000e series is a great choice!

2.    Motorola DP3000e Series (DP3441e and DP3661e)

Not to be confused with the original DP3000 series, the DP3000e is an incredibly compact radio series whilst ensuring there is no skimping on power or technical features! It also boasts an impressive IP68 rating, making it waterproof and robust enough to withstand the harshest environments. This is probably what makes the DP3000e a very popular choice of radio for the marine and yachting industry, where its ruggedness has frequently been put to the test and not found wanting.

You’ll enjoy superb audio quality with the DP3441e specifically; it will adjust the volume automatically depending on noise levels around you. Mobile work teams will benefit from a range of security and safety features, as well as Bluetooth connectivity and integrated GPS. Outstanding coverage and long battery life almost go without saying for any of our top-selling digital radios. The DP3000e series is in a slightly higher price bracket to the first two-way radios we’ve mentioned in this list, but its quality and features justify it!

3.    Motorola SL1600

If a combination of ruggedness and ultra-slim compactness is what you’re looking for, the SL1600 should be on your shopping list. At just 22mm thick and the same height as an iPhone 5, it’s small enough to fit inconspicuously in your pocket or handbag, but it has a unique, shatterproof and hidden LED display and it’s built to withstand plenty of drops and tumbles. This makes it particularly useful for every-day users and those who prefer a more discreet profile.

The SL1600 features the latest technology but it’s designed for easy, intuitive use. It’s available in both analogue and digital modes, and delivers an enhanced range with long battery life. This model has consistently been a best-seller since it was first introduced and is highly recommended. 

4.    Vertex Standard EVX S24

Vertex Standard has managed to grab the fourth position of our Top 5 sellers list – well deserved in our opinion! It’s a cost effective little model, operating in both analogue and digital modes, so upgraders have flexibility without incurring extra handset expenses when they make the switch.

It’s also the most compact and lightweight model yet from Vertex, so it’s the ideal radio for industries that value discretion and convenience: education, hospitality, retail etc. Its size belies the EVX-S24’s ruggedness, however; with an IP67 rating, this little radio will withstand immersion in up to 3 feet of water for 30 minutes and it’s completely dustproof. Vertex have included various other useful features in this model and with an impressive 12-hour battery. 

5.    Hytera PD405

The Hytera PD405 – our last but definitely not least valuable radio! This model is, without doubt, one of the most effective introductory radios for those looking to enter into the two-way communications world. Offering one of the most affordable digital solutions, the PD405 model from Hytera is a sturdy companion for everyday work. Lightweight with a long battery life and supportive of both analogue and digital operation, the PD405 ensures a smooth migration to digital radio. It demonstrates consistent reliability, robustness and offers a simple, accessible communication solution – most ideal for users operating in manufacturing, facilities management or education environments. 

The highlights of this model add to its simple-to-use persona, such as the instant messaging service that supports pre-programmed messaging to individuals or groups. The inbuilt speaker likewise offers outstanding clarity and radio quality whilst the battery life consists of around 16 hours in its digital mode. Overall, known for its robust reputation alongside impressive voice quality, the PD405 is definitely the dark horse of 2017!
