Motorola DM3600 MOTOTRBO Digital Mobile Radio VHF/UHF 160Ch Display
The Motorola DM3600 head unit is a professional-grade dual-mode analogue/digital mobile radio featuring 1,000 channel capacity, operating across VHF (136-174 MHz) or UHF (403-527 MHz) frequency bands with adjustable power output ranging from 1W to 45W depending on model variant, equipped with a 2-line alphanumeric display, ETSI DMR digital protocol, and robust 3W internal speaker with front-projecting audio design. This certified refurbished MOTOTRBO mobile radio head unit delivers enterprise-grade communication reliability for transport, logistics, emergency services, construction, and fleet management applications at a fraction of the cost of new equipment.
Important: This listing is for the radio head unit only. No accessories are included—the handset/microphone, mounting hardware, power cables, and other accessories must be purchased separately. All units have the black cosmetic cover missing. Good grade units will have the rubber turning knob missing; however, the radio remains fully functional and can change frequency using the metal knob underneath. Professional Communication for Demanding Environments
The DM3600 head unit excels in vehicle-mounted and fixed-base installations where reliable two-way communication is critical. Transport companies benefit from the 1,000-channel capacity for managing multiple fleets and dispatch zones, whilst construction sites appreciate the MIL-STD-810 durability that withstands harsh jobsite conditions. Emergency services utilise the programmable emergency button and priority calling features, whilst logistics operations leverage the text messaging capability for silent coordination in noise-sensitive environments.
