Motorola APX 1000 — P25 Entry Foundation
- • P25 Phase 2 TDMA — twice the voice capacity on a single repeater channel
- • Band options: 700/800/900 MHz, VHF, UHF R1 & UHF R2 (datasheet)
- • Weight: 8.22 oz (233 g) without battery — lightest P25 option
- • Battery: 8–10 h standard / 10–12 h extended
- • IP68 submersible ruggedization + noise-canceling dual mic
- • WiFi OTA firmware updates
Motorola APX 2000 — Mid-Tier Single-Band
- • Single-Band P25: one band per radio (VHF, UHF R1/R2, 700/800, or 900 MHz)
- • Multi-Agency Interop — talk across jurisdictions on the same device
- • IP67 submersible mission-critical build
- • High-density Li-ion battery for extended shift power
- • GPS with 2-microphone noise suppression

Procurement Verdict
Departments migrating from XPR/DP analog or DMR fleets should start on the APX 1000 — the lowest-cost path to P25 Phase 2 with true TDMA capacity doubling and IP68 field reliability. Once you need cross-county interop or coverage beyond the trunking network, the APX 2000 is the next tier up in the same P25 Phase 2 family.
