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

EMERGENCY CALLING

One-touch Emergency Alarms can be sent to other radios with the programmable button to improve worker safety and emergency response time.

ANTI-INTERFERENCE

Digital encoding and error correcting reduces signal interference on the same frequency.

DMR

DMR signaling enables group call, private call, and all call transmitting with PTT ID. Supports DMR Tier II repeaters to extend coverage.
