Motorola CP100d UHF Digital Two-Way Radio

The Motorola CP100d in its UHF digital configuration, 403–480 MHz at 4 watts. Choose standard or high-capacity channel count, and a non-display, display or full-keypad control head.

Key specifications

• Color: Black.
• Use: Professional business communication and migration from analog to MOTOTRBO DMR digital operation.
• Frequency: UHF 403–480 MHz.
• Channel capacity: 16 channels on non-display models; 160 channels on display, limited-keypad and full-keypad models.
• Coverage: Site-dependent. Terrain, building construction, antenna selection, programming and repeater design affect usable range.

UHF only. This radio cannot communicate with a VHF radio. Match the band of the fleet it is joining.

Digital. Clearer audio at the edge of range and more efficient channel use, and it can operate in analog mode alongside an existing analog fleet during a migration.

Supplied and supported by CMI Communications.

Who it is for

The CP100d is Motorola's entry MOTOTRBO portable for hotels, light manufacturing, events and facilities teams: a sealed, drop-tested radio with a channel knob, programmable buttons and voice announcement of channel changes, so housekeeping and floor staff can use it without looking at it. This page is the UHF digital configuration at 4 W; choose a non-display 16-channel radio or a display radio with 160 channels. In digital mode it gives two voice paths in one 12.5 kHz licensed channel, with dual capacity direct mode doing that without a repeater, pre-programmed text messages, and transmit interrupt (decode); it also runs analog channels, so a site can migrate one radio at a time. UHF suits buildings and built-up sites; read UHF vs VHF two-way radios if the band is still open, and analog vs digital two-way radios for what digital changes.
