Tait TP9760 Overview

The Tait TP9760 Multiband Portable Radio is a rugged, 16-key two-way radio operating in the 380–470 MHz band, built for New Zealand field conditions. Configure it as a single, dual, or full multiband unit at purchase, or reconfigure later over the air, no need to buy a new radio when your network requirements change.

Built to Tait's globally trusted standards, the TP9760 is IP68 waterproof and IP65 water jet resistant, tested to MIL-STD-810G for shock, vibration, and temperature extremes. It pairs GPS location tracking with Man Down and Lone Worker safety alarms, making it a solid choice for emergency services, utilities, councils, and field operations moving to a flexible multiband fleet.

The TP9760 supports Analogue, MPT1327, DMR Tier 2, and DMR Tier 3 trunking, with GNSS, Bluetooth®, and WiFi OTAP built in for smart accessories, tracking, and remote fleet updates.

Key Features

• True multiband operation means one radio covers VHF, UHF, and 700/800MHz, for teams who work across multiple agencies or sites without carrying several handsets.
• Over-the-air programming (OTAP) means bands can be added or changed remotely after purchase, for fleets that need to stay flexible as network requirements change.
• 3W speaker with dual-mic noise cancellation means everyone hears clearly over machinery, wind, or traffic, for crews working in loud outdoor environments.
• Built-in GNSS location tracking means dispatch always knows where your team is, for fleet managers running crews across multiple sites.
• Bluetooth® wireless connectivity means hands-free comms with a headset, for anyone working with power tools or driving.
• Man Down and Lone Worker alarms means help gets triggered automatically if a worker goes still or doesn't check in, for anyone sending staff out solo on remote sites.
• IP68 waterproof and IP65 water jet resistant rating means it keeps working through mud, rain, and dust, for construction crews and farmers working outdoors in all weather.
• MIL-STD-810G rated durability means it survives drops, vibration, and temperature extremes, for teams who can't afford downtime from a damaged radio.

Frequently Asked Questions – Tait TP9760 Multiband Portable Radio

1. Is the TP9760 waterproof?

The Tait TP9760 is waterproof and dustproof, rated IP68, with IP65 protection against high-pressure water jets. That means it's built for harsh outdoor environments, from rain to full immersion under defined conditions.

2. Do I need a radio licence to use the TP9760?

Yes, the TP9760 operates on licensed frequencies, so you'll need a radio spectrum licence through Radio Spectrum Management (RSM) before using it. MSL handles the whole licensing and channel programming process for you, so you're not left figuring out paperwork on your own.

3. What battery life can I expect?

Battery life on the TP9760 depends on which battery you choose and which mode you're running. In DMR mode, the High Capacity battery lasts up to 27 hours, Performance up to 20 hours, and Slimline up to 16 hours. In Analogue mode, expect up to 21, 15, and 12 hours respectively. Pick the right battery and a long shift is no problem.

4. Who should use the TP9760?

The Tait TP9760 suits emergency services, utilities, councils, and any Bay of Plenty operation that needs to communicate across multiple agencies or frequency bands without carrying several radios. If your team needs rugged, secure, flexible multiband comms, this radio delivers.

Multiband means the TP9760 can be configured to operate on VHF, UHF, and 700/800MHz, either as a single band, a dual band, or a full multiband unit. You choose the configuration at purchase, and MSL can reconfigure it later over the air if your needs change.

6. Can I change bands after I've bought the radio?

Yes, the TP9760 supports over-the-air programming (OTAP), so bands aren't locked in at purchase. MSL can reconfigure your fleet remotely as your network requirements evolve, without needing to send radios back for reprogramming.

7. Is the TP9760 a DMR radio?

The TP9760 is a true DMR radio, supporting DMR Tier 2 conventional and DMR Tier 3 trunking, alongside MPT1327 trunking and conventional analogue. This gives you flexibility to operate across mixed or evolving networks.

9. What safety features are included?

The TP9760 includes a programmable Emergency Key, Man Down detection, Lone Worker alerts, and optional GeoFencing automation. These features support high-risk or remote workers across your fleet.

10. Does the TP9760 support encryption?

The TP9760 supports encryption alongside EnableProtect Advanced System Key protection, radio inhibit and uninhibit, and DMR trunking authentication, helping secure your fleet against lost or stolen radios.
