What Are Mobile and Base Radios?
Mobile radios are powerful two-way radios designed to be installed in vehicles such as cars, trucks, or boats. They provide higher transmission power (25W or 45W) and greater range than handheld radios, making them ideal for field teams that need to stay connected while on the move. With external antennas and robust build quality, Motorola mobile radios ensure reliable communication even in challenging environments and over long distances.
Base radios, on the other hand, are stationary radios typically installed at fixed locations such as offices, control rooms, or guard posts. Acting as a central hub for communication, base radios allow operators to coordinate teams, monitor activity, and manage responses quickly and efficiently. They are often paired with high-gain antennas and external power supplies to provide consistent, uninterrupted service.
Together, mobile and base radios form the backbone of many professional radio networks, bridging the gap between field teams and central operations. Whether used separately or integrated with Repeaters (add hyper link on the word repeated?), they play a vital role in keeping people connected, informed, and safe.

CM140With a simple single-digit display, up to eight channels of communication and two programmable buttons (allowing up to four single-push functions), the CM140 is designed with the needs of operational mobile radio users in mind.
CM140 Commercial Series Mobile Radio The ‘repeater talkaround’ function allows users to stay in touch should the radio repeater for their area stop working or when users work beyond its range. Repeater talkaround is particularly useful where the electricity supply can be unreliable – often when communication is most important. Looking after employees and resources is paramount to stay ahead. With this in mind, the radios feature ‘emergency mode’. A single button press is all it takes to alert colleagues or base that assistance is required. With ‘lone worker’ function, the radio can be set up to request a response from a user at regular intervals. If the user is unable to give the ‘okay’ message then a defined emergency procedure is activated. Should a radio be lost or stolen it can be blocked (and unblocked upon retrieval) thanks to Selective Radio Inhibit.
