Motorola GP340

 

The GP340 is our most popular VHF radio due to its ease of use and reliability. It has 16 channels and 5 watts of power. We highly recommend the GP340 for users that will be operating in demanding locations.

Operator-friendly features and controls include:

  • Signalling
    The radio software encompasses Private Line™ and 5-tone selective signalling.
  • Channel Scan
    Allows activity on different communications channels to be monitored and answered.
  • X-Pand™ Voice Compression and Low Level Expansion
    Crisp, clear and strong audio quality in virtually any noisy environment. Low level expansion allows further improvements in audio quality by reducing noise usually heard during pauses in conversation.
  • Voice Operated Transmit (VOX)
    Hands free operation when used with VOX headset accessory.
  • Adjustable Power Levels
    The radio output power has two settings - low power extends battery life and high power allows the radio to transmit over a greater distance.
  • Emergency Signalling
    Sends help signal to a pre-defined person or group of people.
  • Programmable Channel Spacing (12.5/20/25 KHz)
    Flexible and easy migration of channel spacing requirements in any situation.
  • Lone Worker
    Added security and safety for individuals who work remotely from their team. The radio enters emergency mode if the user does not respond to the warning signal.
  • Option Board Expandability
    You can expand the existing capabilities by adding one of the following option boards:
    - Encryption for message security
    - SmarTrunk II for low cost trunking
    - Voice Storage option board provides dictaphone features allowing you to store and retrieve voice messages.
  • Talkaround
    Freedom to communicate utilising a system or dispatcher for wide area coverage, or bypass and talk directly to another unit for easy local unit-to-unit communications.
  • Whisper
    Allows a user to speak quietly into a radio and still be heard clearly.
  • Call Forward
    Allows calls to be forwarded to another radio user if you are unable to answer your call personally.
