Hytera BD505
Hytera's entry-level digital handheld. Small, light and simple.
The BD505 is Hytera's business-tier DMR radio and one of the most common radios in UK hire fleets. It is small and light, has a 16-position knob and no screen, and runs 16 to 22 hours on a battery. It shares its 2-pin accessories with the PD405, which keeps earpieces cheap. A sensible choice for shops, hotels, schools and small events.
