⚠ This Radio Has Been Discontinued

The Motorola BPR40 (Mag One) is no longer manufactured or available for purchase. For new orders we recommend its direct replacement, the Motorola BPR50dX — the next-generation Mag One digital/analog business radio that keeps the same easy-to-use approach and works with existing Mag One accessories. Already running a Motorola BPR40 fleet and need batteries, accessories, or help migrating? Call our team at 1-800-984-1534 or contact our radio experts.

The Motorola BPR40, also known as the Mag One, was a dependable analog business two-way radio built for small and medium businesses that needed reliable on-site communication without complexity. Available in UHF (403–470 MHz) or VHF (136–174 MHz), it delivered clear audio across 8 or 16 channels with selectable 1W low and 4W high power, covering roughly 250,000 sq ft or up to 20 floors. Part of the Mag One series, the Motorola BPR40 has since been replaced by the current Motorola BPR50dX.
