UHF 400–470 MHz

The AAH88SCK8AD5BN operates across:

400–470 MHz UHF

This broad UHF frequency coverage makes the BPR 50dX suitable for properly licensed commercial radio systems operating within its supported frequency range.

UHF communications are commonly used in environments such as:

• Warehouses

• Manufacturing facilities

• Retail

• Hospitality

• Schools and campuses

• Property management

• Security

• Construction

• Maintenance

• Distribution centers

• Facility operations

• Commercial buildings

UHF is particularly popular in indoor and built-up environments where communications signals must travel around or through structures.

Radio frequencies and system parameters must be properly programmed for the customer's authorized communications system.

Analog & DMR Digital Operation

The BPR 50dX supports:

Analog + DMR Digital

This allows organizations to continue operating compatible analog radio systems while introducing digital radios into their fleet.

The BPR 50dX can operate with compatible BPR 40 and BPR 40d radios in analog mode, providing organizations with a practical migration path from older analog equipment to digital communications.

Digital operation provides supported DMR capabilities while maintaining conventional analog functionality when required.

RF Output Power

The UHF AAH88SCK8AD5BN provides three selectable RF power levels:

High Power: 4 Watts

Medium Power: 2.5 Watts

Low Power: 1 Watt

This allows the radio to be configured according to the communication requirements of the system.

Actual communication range depends on buildings, terrain, interference, antenna selection, radio programming, and other environmental conditions.

64-Channel Capacity

The BPR 50dX supports:

64 Channels

These can be distributed across:

4 Zones with up to 16 Channels per Zone

This provides flexibility for organizations that need separate communication channels for different:

• Departments

• Work groups

• Buildings

• Locations

• Shifts

• Repeater systems

• Analog channels

• Digital channels

• Operational teams

USB-C Charging

The BPR 50dX features convenient:

USB-C Charging

The USB-C connection provides additional flexibility for keeping the radio charged throughout the workday.

Motorola's standard 2200 mAh battery provides enough capacity for extended shifts, while USB-C connectivity allows additional charging options when needed.

USB-C Programming

The BPR 50dX also supports compatible:

USB-C Radio Programming

This provides a convenient modern connection for configuring supported radio settings using appropriate Motorola programming tools.

Programming software and any required programming accessories are sold separately unless otherwise specified.

Powerful Audio

The BPR 50dX provides up to:

3 Watts of Audio Output

This helps radio communications remain understandable in busy professional environments.

The radio is well suited for locations where background noise can make communications difficult, including warehouses, manufacturing facilities, construction environments, and maintenance operations.

Noise Cancellation

Built-in:

Noise Cancellation

helps reduce unwanted background noise during communications.

This can improve transmitted voice clarity when the radio is being used in noisy working environments.

Programmable Controls

The BPR 50dX provides:

2 Programmable Buttons + Dedicated Emergency Button

Programmable controls allow frequently used radio functions to be assigned for quick access without requiring a display or menu system.

The dedicated Emergency Button can provide rapid access to supported emergency functionality when appropriately programmed.

Voice Announcements

The BPR 50dX supports:

Voice Announcements

and:

Custom Channel Announcements

Because this model does not have a display, audible announcements provide a convenient way for users to identify channels and other radio information without looking at the radio.

Safety Features

Supported safety and supervisory capabilities include:

• Emergency functionality

• Lone Worker

• Remote Monitor

• Radio Disable

• Radio Enable

Feature availability depends on radio programming and system configuration.

Dual Capacity Direct Mode

The BPR 50dX supports:

Dual Capacity Direct Mode

This DMR capability can provide two communication paths on a single 12.5 kHz frequency without requiring a repeater.

Feature availability depends on radio programming and system configuration.

Rugged Construction

The BPR 50dX carries an:

IP55 Rating

providing protection against dust and water jets.

The radio is also designed to meet applicable MIL-STD-810 C through H environmental testing requirements, helping it withstand the demands of everyday professional use.

2200 mAh Li-Ion Battery

The BPR 50dX uses the:

PMNN4847 2200 mAh Li-Ion Battery

Motorola specifies typical battery life of approximately:

16 Hours – Analog

23 Hours – Digital

Actual battery life varies according to transmit activity, radio configuration, signal conditions, battery condition, temperature, and other operating factors.

UHF vs. VHF BPR 50dX

Motorola offers the BPR 50dX in both UHF and VHF configurations:

AAH88SCK8AD5BN = UHF / 400–470 MHz / 4W / 64 Channels

AAH88LDK8AD5BN = VHF / 136–174 MHz / 5W / 64 Channels

Both models provide analog and DMR digital operation, 64-channel capacity, USB-C connectivity, noise cancellation, and the same straightforward non-display interface.

Customers should select the frequency band that matches their existing radio system and authorized frequencies.

Important

The AAH88SCK8AD5BN is the:

UHF 400–470 MHz / 4W / 64-Channel / Analog & Digital BPR 50dX

The radio is a non-display, non-keypad configuration.

Radio programming is required before operation.

Motorola dealer documentation notes that this UHF model may ship configured at 1 watt and require appropriate programming for higher supported output levels.
