MOTOROLA APX 6000XE SINGLE-BAND DIGITAL PORTABLE RADIO 
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS

In the heat of a wildfire or the smoke of a structure fire, you can't afford to struggle with controls or strain to hear commands. You need a radio so reliable and responder-focused, it's second nature to use it. Working with first responders around the world, Motorola developed APX™ radios to be the safest and toughest – and to deliver innovative technology in an ultra-rugged, glove-friendly form.

Motorola's APX 6000XE is the "lightweight heavyweight" - a small, single band radio with extreme ergonomics and excellent audio – one that takes on the tough tasks faced daily by fire fighters and other EMS personnel. It's the two-way radio specifically engineered for extreme conditions.

Exceptionally Clear, Loud Audio

Racing to an emergency, you need crystal-clear audio — and the APX 6000 delivers. Its dual-microphone design locates the talker while suppressing background noise in the most demanding environments. Plus, a unique speaker grill design improves water runoff to keep communications going strong. Together, these technological breakthroughs produce audio that is comfortably heard and clearly understood, enabling life-saving communications to thrive.

Real-World Ruggedness

Everything about the APX 6000 is designed with first responders in mind - starting with the large Monochromatic LCD top display of the Model 1.5.  With its intelligent lighting, the top display enables you to see information at a glance while the radio is fixed to your belt. Models 2.5 and 3.5 feature a dual-display: the aforementioned top display plus a ruggedized front panel color display. The enlarged keypad has increased spacing to enable easy navigation of buttons and better visibility. And the oversized controls are easy to operate when you're wearing bulky gloves – including the volume knob, channel selector, and X-large emergency button. With its rugged MIL specs, FM certification, and optional color housings, the APX 6000XE is the performer you can rely on in the harshest environments.

Focus On The Task, Not The Technology

Whether you're patrolling the border, containing a fire, or directing a multiagency response, the APX 6000 turns mission critical into mission complete.
