Voice Announcement

To help you stay focused on your work, the SL1600 Radio uses Audible Prompts to confirm your actions, so you don't have to look at the device.

Advanced Technology

The SL1600 is equipped with the latest technology for superior performance and user-friendly operation. Its shatterproof Active View display utilizes a hidden LED matrix to show status information, turning off when idle to extend battery life. This radio also includes Range Max technology, an advanced design with a Patented Antenna that provides enhanced range while keeping the device slim and power-efficient.

Reliable and Rugged

The SL1600 is engineered for extreme durability. With an IP54 rating, it is resistant to both dust and water, making it a reliable tool for harsh environments. This radio can withstand numerous drops and impacts. Its toughness has been further validated by Motorola's rigorous Accelerated Life Test, which simulates five years of heavy-duty use to ensure the device's resilience.

Dual Capacity Direct Mode

Double the capacity of your 12.5 kHz channel using the 2-slot TDMA DMR standard, eliminating the need for a repeater.

Frequencies

The Motorola SL1600 is available in both UHF and VHF Frequencies.

The Frequency UHF (403-470 MHz), is generally better for indoor use, built-up areas, and environments with obstructions like buildings and concrete, as UHF waves can penetrate these materials more effectively.

The Frequency VHF (136-174 MHz), is generally better for outdoor use and open areas, as VHF waves travel further over clear lines of sight.
