IP54 dust and splash protection with 1,500mAh battery providing 19 hours. 310g. Digital noise suppression eliminates the background hiss of legacy analog.

Motorola GP340Ex — ATEX Zone 1 with 16 Channels and 14-Hour Runtime
Hazardous-area portable for for ATEX Zone 1 — explosive gas present during normal operation — with 16 channels delivering 14 hours. Analog-only operation, a deliberate design choice: hazardous-area certification requires isolation of every electronic path, limiting feature complexity. The certification itself drives a 2-3x price premium over equivalent digital units. Zero-risk choice for chemical plants, refineries, gas processing, and oil tank farms where a non-certified radio is a detonation hazard regardless of how many digital features it carries. Procurement here is a compliance decision first — the radio's job is to be legally present and hazardous-area, not feature-rich.
