Hytera PD985 Digital Mobile Radio (Discontinued)

Description

The Hytera PD985 was a premium, professional digital mobile radio (DMR) built for clear, reliable communication in demanding environments. With its exceptional audio quality, long battery life, and advanced features such as full-duplex calls, Bluetooth, and single-frequency repeater mode, it stood out as one of Hytera’s flagship DMR models.

Officially discontinued on March 31, 2024, the PD985 remains a benchmark for high-performance radio communication. For those seeking a modern equivalent, Hytera recommends the HP685G, offering enhanced performance, updated design, and improved connectivity.

Key Features:

  • Full-duplex call support

  • Single-frequency repeater mode

  • Bluetooth and GPS options

  • Long battery life and rugged IP68 design

  • Discontinued – replaced by Hytera HP685G

Features

BLUETOOTH AUDIO

Bluetooth 4.0 for wireless connectivity to audio devices to improve user experience.

PSEUDO TRUNKING

Using pseudo-trunking, a Hytera patented technology, slots can be shared to improve capacity usage with transmissions either direct to handset or to repeater.

XPT

Hytera XPT (Extended Pseudo Trunking) enables you to use limited spectrum resources more efficiently, dynamically assigning channel resource without needing a dedicated control channel.

FULL DUPLEX CALLS

Have a conversation on a call rather than a classic one-way transmission (DMR Tier III mode only)

VOICE RECORDING

Record your transmission and call data for future analysis. Requires micro SD card and separate application for playback, chargeable licence.

SINGLE FREQUENCY REPEATER

Utilise your PD985 radio as a repeater to improve coverage across your site (chargeable licence)

MAN DOWN

Optional (PD985G only), the man down feature will let you know if the radio has been tilted past a certain angle. This may happen for instance if the radio user has fallen over or is unconscious or injured. The alarm will be triggered after a warning is issued to the user.

LONE WORKER

The lone worker feature uses a timer in the radio to measure inactivity. If the timer expires, a warning is issued, and if there is no response to that, the alarm is triggered.

EMERGENCY MODE

Raise an alarm with top priority to a base station or to other radios with the pre-programmed emergency mode, identifying the ID of the person issuing the alarm. Also receive emergency notifications.

GPS

Optional (PD985G only), enabling location based services to improve safety and control.
