APX 900 — P25/Analog Dual-Mode with 48 Channels, No Display, GPS, and IP68 at Lowest Entry Price
Entry P25 portable with dual-mode P25/Analog operation — agencies still running legacy analog fleets can migrate to P25 compliance without retiring existing infrastructure, running both systems on one radio. 48 channels with no display: deliberate simplification cutting cost for pure push-to-talk teams. GPS tracking included. IP68 submersible with MIL-STD-810G — a full tier above the APX 2000's IP67. The grant-compliance choice for volunteer fire departments, school district police, and rural agencies meeting P25 funding requirements at the lowest per-unit cost in the APX line — accepting cable key-load and no display in exchange for maximum budget alignment.
APX 2000 — Feature-Ready P25 Phase 2 with Top Display, GPS/GLONASS, OTAR, and WiFi OTA
Step-up P25 Phase 2 portable adding what APX 900 lacks: top display for channel/zone status, OTAR multi-key over-the-air management — eliminating the cable key-load workflow — and WiFi capability on select variants for over-the-air programming. Dual GPS/GLONASS positioning. AES-256 encryption standard. IP67 with MIL-STD-810G. 2,900mAh IMPRES 2 battery delivers 28 hours at 340g. The operational-choice for mid-size agencies where remote key rotation and display-driven workflow justify the step-up from APX 900 — same P25 Phase 2 trunking platform, with fleet management capability the entry tier cannot deliver.
