⚠ This Radio Has Been Discontinued
The Motorola BPR40D (Mag One) is no longer manufactured or available for purchase. For new orders we recommend its direct replacement, the Motorola BPR50dX — the current digital and analog UHF/VHF business radio that succeeds it with an updated feature set. Already running Motorola BPR40D radios and need to migrate a fleet or source accessories? Call our team at 1-800-984-1534 or contact our radio experts.
The Motorola BPR40D, also known as the Mag One, was a dual-mode analog and digital (DMR II) business two-way radio built for retail, hospitality, light construction, and education teams that needed dependable, all-day on-site communication. With 16 channels, 4W of UHF power or 5W of VHF power, and up to 15 hours of digital battery life, it earned its place as an affordable workhorse — and today that role is filled by the current Motorola BPR50dX.
