Light in weight, the SL1600 is easy to carry, this radio is packed with technology making the use simple and straightforward.

Compact in size, the SL1600 is the ideal choice for everything from managing security at hospitality events and retail parks to stewarding events. At only 22mm thick, the SL1600 is the perfect portable size making it easy to fit into pockets alongside being comfortable to operate in one hand. The SL1600 has been designed for easy and intuitive use. The side volume control, dedicated power button, push-to-talk button as well as a top toggle channel switch have been designed for the user to effectively use the radio with one hand making this easy to use in all situations.

With the Motorola SL1600, it benefits from the Motorola’s innovative Range Max technology allowing it to make full use of a patented high efficiency antenna. This helps to reduce the overall size of the radio allowing it to be used with one hand as well as helping to prolong battery life. In addition to this, the active view display effectively helps to communicate information to the user. While the SL1600 does not have a screen in the conventional sense, it does boast a matrix of small, energy efficient LED lights behind the front face which goes into sleep mode when not in use helping to save battery life.

In keeping with a two way radio which has been designed for active use in both business and industry, the front display alongside the chassis are shatterproof, tough and built to exacting standards of durability. The SL1600 is rated IP54 which is standard for dust and water resistance which makes this the ideal solution for all working environments.

ofcom

Yes! This radio is a full-power unit which works on licensed spectrum. Here’s a few important points to remember:

• Licencing is really easy and cost effective, so don’t be put off
• You only licence the frequency (channel) your radios use, not the number of radios or handsets
• If you’re buying radios to use outside of the UK, you will need to get a licence from your country’s regulatory body
• Want us to guide you through it? Call us on 01778 426777 or email info@theradioshop.co.uk

Buy a licence online:

You can choose from one of the following two options to buy a licence online. Once you place your order, we’ll apply for the licence for you, which is valid for 5 years. Ofcom will then contact you directly in 5 years’ time to arrange the renewal.

Remember: you don’t need a licence per radio, just a licence per fleet of radios. One licence will usually provide enough cover for your company or site (or you as an individual if you’re buying for private use)

Simple UK Licence - £75 for 5 years

This is ideal for most users. It authorises the use of radios anywhere within the UK, on a shared bank of back-to-back (simplex) frequencies. Up to 14 UHF or VHF channels become available on digital radios (7 on analogue)

Simple Site Licence - £75 for 5 years

This is suited to users who use their radios with a repeater. It authorises radio use within 1km of a given site or location, on a shared assignment basis. Up to 34 UHF back to back channels + 6 repeater frequencies become available on digital

I already have a licence:

If you already have radios, you should already have a licence. If you’d like your new radios to work with your existing fleet, you need to send us:

• A copy of your existing Ofcom licence
• For digital radios:
  • Let us know which frequencies are in which channel
  • Which colour code you use
  • Which digital group ID you use
• For analogue radios:
  • Let us know which frequencies are in which channel
  • What CTCSS/TPL/DPL tone you use

Alternatively, you can send us a programming file from one of your existing radios, or even post us one of your existing handsets so that we can make sure we match it correctly.

Note that we accept no responsibility for radios which do not work due to incorrectly provided information. We’ll program your radios for free upon order, but if they don’t work and need re-programming there will be a £10 + VAT fee per unit.
