Buyer notes
Each note answers one question a buyer has to settle before the order can be written — which band, which build, which name on the paperwork. Where the answer depends on your regulator, your site or your forwarder, the note says so instead of guessing.
The first decision is not which handset — it is which frequency range your licence covers. These notes work backwards from the licence to the ordering code.

Band selection
Both ranges are recorded in this catalogue, and the difference is not quality — it is where the ceiling sits. If your licensed frequencies sit above 470 MHz, only one of the two blocks reaches them.

Band selection
The general rule is well established: VHF travels further across open ground, UHF gets into and around structures. Your licence still decides — but the site tells you what to ask for.

The same hardware is sold under different names in different regions. A tender document, a purchase order and a shipping label can therefore describe one radio three ways.
Reference material: Regional naming reference
Naming
This catalogue records 156 regional counterpart names across 76 identifiers. They are not extra products — they are the same hardware under the names each region sold it as.

Naming, worked example
Yes, as a family relationship — and that is the whole of the claim. This catalogue records three counterparts for the DP1400, one per market, and none of them is a specification.

Analog or digital, how many channels, how many units. These are the questions that set the shape of the order before any model is chosen.

System choice
Digital is not simply the newer analog. It changes what the radio can be asked to do — and it changes what happens when part of your fleet stays analog.

What changes between buyers is the ordering priority, not the brand. Each note starts from the operating environment and works towards a specification.

Hospitality
In a guest-facing operation the radio is visible to customers, is carried for a full shift, and is handed to people who started this morning. Those three facts set the specification.

Mining
Mining ranks requirements differently from an office or a hotel: the equipment is abused, shifts are long, and a flat battery stops a section rather than a conversation.

Logistics and ports
Fleet size is not headcount. It follows from concurrent positions, shift overlap and charging — and the channel plan follows from who has to reach whom, not from the size of the yard.

Buyer notes are written from the catalogue and the published reference pages. They carry no parameter the site cannot evidence, and an unconfirmed value stays unconfirmed here too.
Nothing here is written to fill a page. Where a note would have to assert a parameter, a certification or a price that this operation cannot evidence, the note is either not published or it says plainly that the answer is decided elsewhere — by your regulator, your site authority or your freight forwarder.

Enquiry
The band you are licensed for, the destination country and the quantity settle more of a quotation than any model name. Build a brief and the first reply can be a specification rather than a question.
