Motorola BPR40 Portable Two-Way Radio

The Motorola BPR40 portable two-way radio from the Mag One line gives a crew 8 or 16 channels, with high and low power settings to save battery life.

Two programmable buttons hold up to four settings chosen from 12 features, among them monitor, scan, nuisance channel delete, repeater talkaround, PL/DPL, button lock, battery save, and normal or tight squelch. Nuisance channel delete drops an unwanted channel from the scan for a time, and repeater talkaround switches between repeater and direct unit-to-unit talk.

A large rotary selector changes channels, the textured push-to-talk button is easy to find without looking, and a tricolor LED shows radio status and battery level. The die-cast chassis sits in a polycarbonate housing, meets MIL-STD 810 C, D, E, and F, and passes rain testing to IPX4.

The BPR40 comes in a VHF model for 150 to 174 MHz at up to 5 W and UHF models for 450 to 470 MHz at up to 4 W. Each BPR40 comes with a NiMH battery or a 1500 mAh Li-ion battery, a rapid-rate charger, an antenna, and a 2-inch spring belt clip, and it carries a one-year limited warranty.
