UHF R2 + 700/800 MHz Capability

This configuration is particularly useful for organizations that require communication across UHF Range 2 and 700/800 MHz systems.

Motorola specifications identify UHF Range 2 as 450–520 MHz and the 700/800 MHz band as approximately 764–870 MHz, depending on the specific radio configuration.

The APX 7000 platform was designed to provide multi-band interoperability, allowing compatible configurations to operate across two of Motorola’s supported frequency bands.

P25 Digital Radio Performance

The APX 7000 is a Project 25 (P25) digital radio designed for professional and mission-critical communication applications.

It supports modern digital communication capabilities including P25 Phase 2 TDMA, which can provide greater spectrum efficiency and additional voice capacity on compatible systems.

For organizations already using an ASTRO 25/P25 radio system, the APX 7000 can be an attractive option when properly configured and programmed for the required system.

Built for Demanding Environments

The APX 7000 was engineered around the needs of first responders and other professionals who require a radio that can withstand demanding field conditions.

Its design includes a large push-to-talk button, optimized T-grip, emergency button, programmable controls, intelligent lighting, and a high-output speaker designed to improve voice intelligibility.

The radio also incorporates dual-microphone noise suppression and Motorola’s audio technologies to help users communicate in noisy environments.

GPS, Encryption and Advanced Features

Depending on the exact flashcode and software configuration, APX 7000 radios can support advanced capabilities such as:

• Integrated GPS
• P25 digital voice
• P25 Phase 2 TDMA
• Advanced Digital Privacy (ADP)
• AES encryption
• DES encryption
• Text messaging
• Voice announcement
• Over-the-Air Programming (OTAP)
• Over-the-Air Rekeying (OTAR)
• Bluetooth accessories

Motorola documentation lists encryption options including AES, DES, DES-XL, DES-OFB and ADP, although the features available on an individual radio depend on its specific options, flashcode, firmware and programming.

Why Choose a Used Motorola APX 7000?

A properly tested used Motorola APX 7000 can provide many of the capabilities professional users need without the cost of purchasing an entirely new radio fleet.

At Used Moto Radio, used radios can be a practical option for organizations looking to:

• Expand an existing Motorola radio fleet
• Replace damaged or aging APX radios
• Maintain spare radios
• Outfit security teams
• Support public-safety communications
• Build a P25-compatible radio fleet
• Add UHF and 700/800 MHz capability

Each radio should be evaluated based on its model number, band split, flashcode, firmware, battery condition, programming and installed options before purchase.
