The Motorola DLR1060 was a license-free 900 MHz ISM digital two-way radio built for clear, secure communication without an FCC license. It delivered 1 Watt of output across 6 programmable channels, about 14 hours of battery life, and roughly 300,000 sq ft or 20 floors of coverage — making it a favorite in retail, hospitality, event management, and education. Today that role is filled by the current Motorola CURVE DLR110.
