Motorola Radius SP50 Portable Radio
Specifications

SP50: The Perfect Combination of Form and Function.

FORM. The leading edge design of the SP50 was developed around one of the most basic elements of portable communications - the hand. With standard and compact models at just over 2 1/2" wide,1" thick and 6" or 5" tall respectively, the SP5O fits comfortably in the palm of a hand. Its compact size, smooth lines and easily accessible controls are the result of an engineering commitment to functional form, or the combination of technology and user comfort.

FUNCTION. The design innovation of the SP50 goes beyond appearance. The enhanced features engineered into this compact workhorse make it one of the most versatile two-way radios in the marketplace...without&127; being cost-prohibitive. Built to Motorola's demanding standards, the SP50 can easily stand up to the most rigorous construction or industrial applications. Yet, its sleek design allows it to be used just as comfortably in the security or hospitality industries.
To hold the SP50 in the palm of your hand is to hold the perfect combination of form and function.

CHOICE OF MODELS
The SP50 is available in a number of standard and compact 2 or10 channel models. The standard model provides ample battery life for a full 8+ hour workshift*. The compact model provides less battery life in a smaller size radio. Both models have the capability for extended battery life by adding a feature that allows you to switch from 5-Watt VHF or 4-Watt UHF power to as low 1 Watt. Each model is fully synthesized for flexibility. This gives you the ability to add certain dealer programmable features such as Time-out Timer, Busy Channel Lock-Out and variable power levels per channel. In addition, your radio's frequency or operating characteristics can be changed as your business changes.

MULTIPLE-CODED SQUELCH CAPABILITY
PRIVATE LINE (PL) OR DIGITAL PRIVATE LINE (DPL)
The SP50 provides a separate PL/DPL code for the transmit and receive frequency of every channel.This feature allows you to receive only calls accompanied by a specified radio code and place calls to only those that accept the code.

*Battery life measured at normal expected radio use of 5% transmission, 5% receive and 90% standby time.

Quality Assurance.
To assure that the SP50 continues to provide the perfect combination of form and function, Motorola backs each radio with its commitment to quality. Each model must pass the rigors of Motorola's Accelerated Life Testing, simulating years of use in the field. The SP50 also meets tough military specifications by satisfying MIL-STD 810 C, D and E for shock, vibration and protection from the environment. Housings are constructed of a lightweight, high-impact material with the ability to withstand Motorola's demanding drop test. They are also lined with special O-rings and gaskets to protect the electronic circuitry from dirt, dust and moisture.
