BD612i DMR Two-Way Radio
Rugged and Cost-Effective UHF and VHF DMR Two-Way Radios
The BD612i digital radios are the next generation of the TC6 analog radios, and improves on the legendary Hytera ruggedness, performance, and value.
Key Features
ERGONOMIC AND EASY TO USE
Tactile buttons for no-look PTT and emergency calling, and simple operation with channel and power/volume knobs. LED Indicator shows transmit and receive status in green and red lights.
ANALOG OR DIGITAL OPERATION
The BD612i operates in analog or digital mode, and allows switching between the two modes for communication with analog radios. This enables simple and cost-effective migration path to digital systems.
HIGH QUALITY AUDIO
Audio equalizer adjusts low, mid, and high frequency gain provides the best audio performance in noisy job sites or quiet offices.
LONG-LIFE BATTERY
Powerful 1500mAh Lithium Ion battery delivers up to 16 hours of operation, and an optional 2000mAh Lithium Ion battery delivers up to 22 hours of operation.
RELIABLE AND DURABLE
Compliant with MIL-STD-810-G for impacts and vibration, and IP66 rated for water and dust resistance
SCANNING
Allows listening to communications on other channels
DMR
DMR signaling enables group call, private call, and all call transmitting with PTT ID. Supports DMR Tier II repeaters to extend coverage.
ANTI-INTERFERENCE
Digital encoding and error correcting reduces signal interference on the same frequency.
EMERGENCY CALLING
One-touch Emergency Alarms can be sent to other radios with the programmable button to improve worker safety and emergency response time.
