Hytera builds one of the widest DMR ranges on the market, from simple business radios to hazardous-area handhelds, vehicle radios, PoC radios that run over 4G, and the repeaters that tie it all together. Our biggest seller, the HP602, is held in stock and ready to ship, and the rest of the range is ordered in and programmed to your channel plan in our Mount Maunganui workshop before delivery. This guide sorts the line-up by what actually matters, so you can find the right model without wading through spec sheets.
01
VHF or UHF?
Set by your existing licence and coverage area, not preference. Radios on different bands can't talk to each other.
02
Handheld, mobile or repeater?
Handhelds for people on foot, mobiles for vehicles, repeaters for stretching coverage across a site or region.
03
Rugged, or hazardous-area rated?
Ex-rated radios are certified for fuel, mining and explosive-atmosphere sites. That's a different tier entirely.
04
Two-way radio, or PoC?
DMR runs on a licensed frequency. PoC rides the 4G network instead, with no repeater network needed.
Business & Entry Portables
Affordable DMR radios for retail, hospitality and small teams, and a practical first step from analogue into digital.
UHFVHF or UHFHazardous area (Ex)
| Model | Band | Standout | Best For | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S1 Pro | UHF 400-480MHz | 256 channels, Air Clone: set up one radio, clone to many in seconds | Hospitality, golf, retail | from $530.00 |
| BD-612 | VHF or UHF | 48 channels, USB-C charging, simple controls | Budget-conscious teams | from $643.00 |
| BP512 | VHF or UHF | 64 channels, USB-C charging, Bluetooth 5.0 | Retail and hospitality stepping up to digital | from $670.00 |
| BP-562 | UHF2 450-520MHz | 128 channels, IP67, ANZ CB-capable variant | Fleets mixing digital and UHF CB | from $741.00 |
Ladder logic: the S1 Pro is the simplest set-and-forget business radio, the BD-612 and BP512 are low-cost DMR handhelds, and the BP-562 adds IP67 protection and CB capability for mixed fleets. If your crews need Man Down, GPS or a tougher build, step up to the HP series below.
HP Series: Professional DMR Portables
Hytera's core commercial range, with AI noise cancellation, all available in VHF or UHF with up to 1,024 channels.
| Model | Band | Standout | Best For | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HP602 | VHF or UHF | IP68, Man Down, 20+ hour battery, optional GPS and Bluetooth. Held in stock | Lone workers, construction, forestry | from $1,148.85 |
| HP682 | VHF or UHF | Five programmable buttons, enhanced voice prompts, optional GPS and Bluetooth | Teams wanting more on-radio control | from $1,680.15 |
| HP702 | VHF or UHF | 1.77in colour screen, Man Down and Lone Worker | Security teams, lone workers | from $1,698.00 |
| HP782 | VHF or UHF | GPS, Man Down, Lone Worker and trunking as standard | Commercial, industrial, emergency services | from $2,137.85 |
Ladder logic: the HP602 is the value entry point and our biggest seller. The HP682 adds programmable buttons and voice prompts, the HP702 brings an on-screen display with safety features as standard, and the HP782 tops the range with GPS and trunking included. The more your team relies on hands-free safety features, the further up the ladder you'll want to go. Read our HP602 review for the deep dive.
Intrinsically Safe (Ex) Handhelds
For fuel depots, mining and any site where a standard radio's spark risk is a genuine hazard.
Rugged isn't the same as safe: an IP68 radio is tough, but only an Ex-certified model is built so it can't ignite flammable gases or dust. Confirm your site's zone classification against the radio's certification before ordering. These are ordered in, so allow extra lead time.
Vehicle Radios
25W mobile radios for fleet vehicles and base installations, both with AI noise cancelling and Bluetooth 5.0 as standard.
Fitted and configured: we order mobiles in per job and program them to your existing setup. Within the Bay of Plenty, Coromandel, Rotorua, Taupō and Waikato, our technicians handle the fit-out. Elsewhere, we coordinate installers nationwide or supply a configured radio for your own installer.
PoC Radios & Gateway
Push-to-talk over cellular for teams spread across a wide area, plus a gateway that links PoC to your existing radio fleet.
| Model | Type | Standout | Best For | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P50 | Handheld PoC | Android 12, MIL-STD-810H build, 30-hour battery | Nationwide teams on a budget | from $593.40 |
| P50 Pro | Handheld PoC | Adds camera, NFC, keypad and Man Down | Field teams wanting safety features | from $842.95 |
| MNC360 | Vehicle PoC | Dual external LTE antennas, driver safety alarms | Fleet vehicles needing nationwide PTT | from $992.00 |
| P60 | Smart PoC | 3.5in glove and wet-hand touchscreen, dual camera | Teams wanting smartphone-style apps on a rugged radio | from $1,263.85 |
| HyTalk PMR Gateway | Interconnect | Bridges existing two-way radios with PoC devices | Adding PoC without replacing your radio fleet | Price on request |
No spectrum licence for PoC: the P50, P50 Pro, P60 and MNC360 run over the cellular network and Wi-Fi, so there's no licensed frequency to arrange. Coverage depends on cellular signal rather than a repeater network, worth factoring in for genuinely remote sites.
Repeaters & Base Stations
Extend coverage across a farm, site or wider region.
HR-652 or HR-1062E? The HR-652 is the lower-cost, compact option for a single site. The HR-1062E costs more but brings higher output and remote diagnostics, worth it if you're planning to grow or need networked monitoring. For multi-site design, see our DMR Tier 2 and Tier 3 network service.
Why Order Hytera Through MSL
The HP602 is held in stock, so if it's the right fit you're not waiting on an order. Every other Hytera radio is ordered in and programmed to match your current channel plan, so new and existing units work together from day one.
We install directly across the Bay of Plenty, Coromandel, Rotorua, Taupō and Waikato. Outside that area, we coordinate with installers nationwide, or supply a fully configured radio if you'd rather arrange your own fit-out.
We're brand-independent. We stock and support Hytera alongside Tait, Motorola, GME and more, so our recommendation is built around what suits your operation, not what's easiest to sell. New to digital radio? Start with our guide to DMR radio.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a licence for a Hytera radio?
For professional DMR use, you do. Hytera DMR radios run on private channels licensed through Radio Spectrum Management, and we can arrange the licence and program your radios to match it. The P50, P50 Pro, P60 and MNC360 PoC radios run over the cellular network and don't need one.
Which Hytera radio do you recommend for lone worker safety?
The HP602 is our most popular choice for lone worker and man-down safety, with built-in man-down alerts, optional GPS and over 20 hours of battery life. It's held in stock and ready to ship. For safety features plus a colour screen, look at the HP702 or HP782.
Can new digital Hytera radios talk to our old analogue radios?
Most Hytera DMR radios can, because they run in mixed mode across analogue and digital channels. That means you can upgrade a fleet in stages rather than all at once.
Can I mix VHF and UHF radios on the same network?
You can't. VHF and UHF radios can't talk to each other directly, so every radio on your network needs to match the band you're licensed for.
Are Hytera radios waterproof?
Most of the professional range is rated IP67 or IP68, built for rain, dust and the odd dunking. The HP602, HP712 EX and HP792 EX are IP68, and the BP-562 is IP67. Check the specific model's rating against your working environment.
Do you install Hytera mobile radios outside the Bay of Plenty?
Yes. We install directly within the Bay of Plenty, Coromandel, Rotorua, Taupō and Waikato. Elsewhere in New Zealand, we coordinate with installers in your region, or supply a configured radio for your own installer to fit.
Not sure which one fits?
Tell us the job, the site and your existing fleet, and we'll match the Hytera model to it. Or call us on 07 575 2966.
