Two-way radio Motorola XT420 PMR, 16 channels, 500 mW, IP55, NiMH rechargeable battery, LED display

The XT420 on-site two-way business radio provides instant, reliable communication for teams working in noisy or harsh environments. It operates on license-free PMR446 frequencies with 8 channels and user-selectable privacy codes, delivering clear audio and robust performance. Built to withstand dust, shock and vibration, the XT420 includes advanced features such as channel announcement, VOX hands-free capability, programmable buttons and antimicrobial coating. HTML-based customer programming software (CPS) and accessory compatibility make the XT420 easy to integrate into existing fleets.

Advantages

License-free operation on PMR446 frequencies removes subscription and call charges while offering multiple channels and privacy codes for a clear signal. A powerful 1500 mW speaker improves intelligibility in noisy locations. The rugged design meets military sealing standards and passes accelerated life testing to simulate years of field use. Programmable buttons, channel announcement with voice alias and VOX allow more efficient, hands-free workflows. Antimicrobial coating reduces surface contamination risk, and HTML-based CPS simplifies programming and fleet integration.
