Motorola Vehicle Two-Way Radios — Supplier

Q: Which vehicle radio supports MPT1327?

The GM family — 8 identifiers, the only ones in this catalogue recording MPT1327.

Q: How water-resistant is a vehicle radio here?

IP54 is the recorded baseline. The higher figure, up to IP56, is stated for selected APX builds or with the O2 control head, and the record carries that qualification rather than a blanket number.

Q: Is there a 350 MHz mobile?

Yes — the DM family records 15 identifiers including 350 MHz alongside VHF and UHF.

Q: Why does one APX mobile show no protocol?

Because it is not recorded. The field is left empty and visible rather than filled with the value that neighbouring identifiers carry.

How to read this family

These 30 vehicle and base-station identifiers come from 4 families. Two things separate them: the protocol the unit speaks, and how the ingress rating was achieved — most of this category reaches IP54 only, and the higher figure belongs to specific builds rather than to the series.

Start with the protocol, not the model

Protocol is decided inside the radio. A unit bought for the wrong one cannot be reprogrammed into the right one, so this is the first column worth reading — before band, before ingress, before price.

Identifiers per protocol in Vehicles and mobiles
Protocol	Identifiers	Families	Example
Analogue	25	CM · DM · GM	CM140
DMR	15	DM	DM1400
MPT1327	8	GM	GM140
P25	4	APX	APX 1500 O2 Control Head Vehicle Mount Black
Not recorded	1	—	Protocol field left empty rather than assumed

A unit that carries two modes is counted in both rows, so the column adds up to more than the number of identifiers in the family. “Not recorded” is a field the record does not carry, left visible rather than filled from a neighbouring identifier.

Families in this catalogue

An identifier belongs to one family, and the family is where the shared behaviour sits. The band and ingress columns are the union of what the records in that family state — where a family spans several ratings, that spread is shown instead of one representative figure.

Families in Vehicles and mobiles
Family	Models	Protocol	Bands	Ingress
APX	5	P25	VHF · UHF · 700 MHz · 800 MHz	IP54; up to IP56 on selected models or with the O2 control head
CM	2	Analogue	VHF · UHF	IP54 (typical for the series)
DM	15	DMR · Analogue	VHF · UHF · 350 MHz	IP54 · IP54 (mobile radio body)
GM	8	MPT1327 · Analogue	VHF · UHF	IP54

What this page does not claim

No vehicle radio here records above IP56, and that figure is stated only for selected APX builds or with the O2 control head. Everything else records IP54.
A mobile's channel figure describes the unit, not the system. Repeater capacity is a separate record and is not implied by it.
