VHF 136–174 MHz

The AAH88LDK8AD5BN operates across:

136–174 MHz VHF

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

VHF communications are commonly used in applications such as:

• Construction

• Agriculture

• Transportation

• Education

• Schools and campuses

• Property management

• Maintenance

• Security

• Warehousing

• Manufacturing

• Facility operations

• Outdoor work environments

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 provides organizations with flexibility when upgrading an existing radio fleet.

The BPR 50dX can communicate with compatible BPR 40 and BPR 40d radios in analog operation, helping organizations transition toward digital communications without necessarily replacing every compatible radio at the same time.

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

5-Watt RF Output

The VHF AAH88LDK8AD5BN provides:

Up to 5 Watts RF Output

This makes it the higher-powered VHF counterpart to the UHF BPR 50dX, which provides up to 4 watts of RF output.

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

64-Channel Capacity

The BPR 50dX supports:

64 Channels

Channels can be organized across:

4 Zones with up to 16 Channels per Zone

This provides significantly more flexibility than simpler entry-level radios and allows organizations to create separate communications groups for different departments, locations, work teams, or operating functions.

USB-C Charging & Programming

The BPR 50dX features convenient:

USB-C Charging & Programming

The USB-C connection provides a modern interface for compatible charging and radio programming applications.

This gives users additional charging flexibility while simplifying connectivity for radio configuration and fleet maintenance.

Appropriate Motorola programming software and accessories are required for programming.

Powerful Audio

The BPR 50dX provides up to:

3 Watts of Audio Output

This makes it well suited for use in busy professional environments where radio communications need to remain understandable despite surrounding noise.

Noise Cancellation

Built-in:

Noise Cancellation

helps improve voice clarity by reducing unwanted background noise during communications.

This can be especially valuable in environments such as:

• Construction sites

• Warehouses

• Manufacturing facilities

• Transportation operations

• Maintenance facilities

• Outdoor work sites

3 Programmable Buttons

The BPR 50dX includes:

3 Programmable Buttons

These controls can be configured for supported radio functions according to the needs of the organization.

This allows commonly used features to be accessed quickly without requiring a display or complicated menu system.

Voice Announcements

The BPR 50dX supports:

Voice Announcements

and:

Custom Channel Announcements

Because this is a non-display radio, audible announcements provide a convenient way for users to identify channels and other radio information without looking at a screen.

Safety Features

Supported safety and supervisory capabilities include:

• Emergency Alert

• 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 allows two communication paths on a single 12.5 kHz frequency without requiring a repeater.

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 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 up to approximately:

23 Hours of Talk Time

under its specified operating conditions.

Actual battery life varies according to transmit activity, radio programming, signal conditions, battery condition, temperature, and operating environment.

Standard Package

The standard BPR 50dX VHF package includes:

• BPR 50dX VHF portable radio

• PMNN4847 2200 mAh Li-Ion battery

• VHF antenna

• PMLN8600 2-inch spring belt clip

• PMLN8599 single-unit charging tray

• PMAD4165 – 152–174 MHz VHF Whip Antenna

Package contents should be verified at the time of purchase.

VHF vs. UHF BPR 50dX

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

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

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

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

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

Important

The AAH88LDK8AD5BN is the:

VHF 136–174 MHz / 5W / 64-Channel / Analog & Digital BPR 50dX

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

Radio programming is required before operation.

Operating frequencies and system parameters must be properly configured for the customer's communications system.

FCC licensing may be required depending on the frequencies and application in which the radio is used.
