Hytera PD785 UHF DMR Portable Handheld Professional Radio (400–470 MHz)

The PD785 UHF is a portable handheld radio — 125×55×37 mm, 355g with standard battery. It's built for operations inside buildings, industrial facilities, and urban environments.

UHF at 400–470 MHz penetrates concrete walls, metal shelving, and multi-story structures more effectively than VHF. That makes the PD785 UHF the standard choice for manufacturing floors, warehouses, hospitals, hotels, airports, and enterprise campus deployments where teams move between indoor zones throughout the shift.

TX output is 4W (High) / 1W (Low) on UHF. The radio operates on DMR Tier II/III TDMA, which doubles channel capacity versus analog FDMA on the same spectrum allocation. Digital battery life in the UHF variant reaches approximately 15.5 hours on a standard 2000mAh battery (5-5-90 duty cycle, high power) — roughly 2 hours longer than the VHF variant under the same conditions. XPT (Extended Pseudo Trunking) allocates TDMA slots dynamically without a dedicated control channel, reducing repeater infrastructure cost for mid-size indoor deployments. Analog FM and mixed-mode scanning keep the PD785 UHF compatible with existing analog UHF radios during phased migration.

IP67 covers full dust protection and immersion to 1m for 30 minutes. MIL-STD-810 C/D/E/F/G applies across shock, vibration, temperature from –30°C to +60°C, and humidity — confirmed in the Hytera datasheet. The 1.8-inch TFT color display (160×128 px, 65,536 colors) stays readable under overhead warehouse or industrial lighting.

Receiver sensitivity is 0.22μV typical (12dB SINAD), with 70dB adjacent channel selectivity at 20/25kHz. The 0.5W speaker handles noisy production and logistics environments. Encryption ships as ARC4 40-bit standard; AES 128/256-bit is available as a software licence upgrade — no hardware replacement.

The PD785G UHF adds integrated GPS with cold-start TTFF under 1 minute and under 10 meters horizontal accuracy, plus Man Down alarm for automatic emergency notification when the radio tilts beyond a configured angle. FCC Part 90 licensed.

The Hytera PD785 and PD785G UHF operate on licensed Land Mobile Radio frequencies under FCC Part 90. A valid FCC Business Radio License is required for each frequency used in commercial operations in the United States.

UHF frequencies in the 400–470 MHz range are widely allocated for indoor industrial, commercial, healthcare, and enterprise operations. Coordination with existing licensees in your area is part of the licensing process.
