Hytera MD785 UHF DMR Vehicle-Mounted Mobile Radio (400–470 MHz)

The MD785 UHF is a vehicle-mounted mobile radio - 60×174×200 mm, 1.7 kg - built for dashboard or console installation in fleet vehicles operating across urban and mixed indoor/outdoor environments. At 45W high power on 400–470 MHz, it covers the frequency range used by manufacturing facilities, warehouses, healthcare campuses, urban security fleets, and airport ground support vehicles where UHF's building-penetration advantage over VHF is operationally relevant.

The radio connects to the vehicle's 13.6V DC supply and supports the full DMR Tier II/III feature set. TDMA dual-slot operation doubles channel capacity on the same spectrum allocation. XPT pseudo-trunking dynamically assigns free slots without a dedicated control channel, keeping infrastructure lean for mid-size fleet deployments. DMR Tier III trunking unlocks via software licence — no hardware replacement. Dual-mode operation handles both digital and analog UHF channels per-channel, supporting mixed fleets during phased migration. Seven programmable keys and the keypad microphone allow in-cab operation without taking hands off the task.

IP54 covers dust protection and water splash resistance from any direction. MIL-STD-810 C/D/E/F addresses temperature from –30°C to +60°C, vibration, shock, humidity, salt fog, and sand — the standard compliance set for vehicle-mounted mobile equipment. The 2.0-inch TFT color display (220×176 px, 262,000 colors) provides readable status output from the driver's position.

The MD785G UHF adds integrated GPS with cold-start TTFF under 1 minute, warm-start under 10 seconds, and under 10 meters horizontal accuracy. Position data and GPS text messages display on-screen and integrate with Hytera dispatch software for real-time fleet visibility. FCC Part 90 licensed.

The Hytera MD785 and MD785G UHF operate on licensed Land Mobile Radio frequencies under FCC Part 90. A valid FCC Business Radio License is required for each UHF frequency used in commercial vehicle or facility operations in the United States.
