Motorola CM300d: The Intelligent Choice for Fleet Coordination
When you are managing a complex fleet—such as a city-wide public works department, a regional delivery network, or a massive school bus operation—you need more than just a basic connection. The Motorola CM300d is a reliable, cost-effective mobile two-way radio designed for the everyday driver. It ensures your workers can connect without distraction, whether they are delivering cargo, dispatching trucks, or driving a school bus. The CM Series is easy to use and delivers clear communication for maximum efficiency of your operation.
IMPORTANT: Choose your specific Motorola CM300d model from the dropdown above. The price will adjust automatically based on your selection of frequency, wattage, and digital capability.
Visual Intelligence: The Alphanumeric Advantage
Unlike standard numeric radios, the Motorola CM300d features a high-contrast alphanumeric display. This allows drivers to read caller ID information, view full channel names, and receive text messages. It is an essential feature for keeping your fleet organized and ensuring messages are directed accurately without relying solely on voice recognition.
Flexible Migration: Analog to Digital
The Motorola CM300d operates in either Analog ONLY or Analog/Digital modes with MOTOTRBO™ technology. If you choose the analog-only version, you get the hardware capabilities now, and all you will need is a simple software upgrade when you are ready to transition to digital.

Frequently Asked Questions About Motorola CM300d
What is the difference between the CM200d and the CM300d?
The primary difference is the display and channel capacity. The CM200d features a basic numeric display and supports 16 channels. The Motorola CM300d features a full alphanumeric display (allowing for text names and caller ID) and supports up to 99 channels, making it superior for complex fleet management.
Can I upgrade the Analog-Only model to Digital later?
Yes. If you purchase the Analog-Only version of the Motorola CM300d, it possesses the same hardware as the digital model. You can simply purchase a software license key at a later date to unlock MOTOTRBO™ digital functionality.
What is "Dual Capacity Direct Mode"?
This feature utilizes the digital TDMA standard to essentially split a single 12.5 kHz radio channel into two distinct communication paths. This allows two separate conversations to happen simultaneously on the same frequency without interference, doubling your capacity without purchasing a repeater.
Which wattage should I choose?
The 25-Watt models are ideal for local city driving or areas with robust repeater coverage. If your fleet operates in rural areas, across wide-open highways, or in heavy industrial zones without a repeater network, the High-Power models (45W VHF / 40W UHF) are recommended to push your signal further.
Does the Motorola CM300d require an FCC license?
Yes. Because the Motorola CM300d operates on high-power commercial frequencies, an active FCC license is required. This ensures your organization has dedicated access to a private, interference-free channel.
