Hytera PD362i Compact DMR Digital Portable Two-Way Radio (UHF 430-470 MHz)

The PD362i fits where most professional radios don't — a shirt pocket. At 160g and 4.21" × 2.16" × 0.9", it's lighter and slimmer than the majority of DMR portables on the market. The compact antenna gives it the profile of a cellular phone, not a radio, which matters for retail floor managers, hotel concierge staff, and healthcare workers in patient areas who need to communicate without drawing attention. This is a radio that works with your environment, not against it.

Charging is handled through a standard Micro USB port — the same cable used with most consumer devices. Retail staff can charge from a laptop at a back-office workstation. Hotel personnel can plug in at any USB outlet in the building. Traveling supervisors can use a car charger or portable battery bank without carrying a dedicated desktop charger. The freedom to charge anywhere without specialized equipment is a practical operational advantage in multi-site and high-mobility environments.

With 256 channels organized across 16 zones and a 3-line LED display, the PD362i can support department separation across a mid-sized facility — front-of-house, back-of-house, management, security — without losing track of which channel you're on. The display also supports two-line text messaging up to 64 characters, so staff can send a quick update without initiating a voice call. One-touch sending of up to 10 pre-programmed text messages speeds up routine coordination.

The PD362i carries IP54 protection against dust and water ingress, confirmed by Hytera US, alongside MIL-STD-810G certification for shock and vibration resistance. A 2000mAh Li-ion battery runs 12 hours in digital mode under standard 5-5-90 duty cycle — enough to cover a full shift without a mid-day charge. Dual analog/digital mode lets it drop into an existing analog fleet automatically, without manual switching when receiving legacy signals.

Tactile side buttons let staff activate PTT and emergency calling without looking at the radio — a meaningful advantage for workers in motion, wearing gloves, or responding to an incident. On the network side, the PD362i supports pseudo-trunking: when one DMR timeslot is occupied, it automatically routes calls through the second available timeslot, reducing wait times and improving channel efficiency in busy environments with multiple simultaneous users.

Operation of the Hytera PD362i on licensed frequencies in the United States requires an FCC Part 90 license. This applies to most business and commercial radio uses, including retail operations, healthcare facilities, hospitality, and educational institutions operating on private frequencies.
