Motorola DM3600 MOTOTRBO Digital Mobile Radio VHF/UHF 160Ch Display

Motorola DM3600 MOTOTRBO Mobile Radio Head Unit Only - Certified Refurbished

The Motorola DM3600 head unit is a professional-grade dual-mode analogue/digital mobile radio featuring 1,000 channel capacity, operating across VHF (136-174 MHz) or UHF (403-527 MHz) frequency bands with adjustable power output ranging from 1W to 45W depending on model variant, equipped with a 2-line alphanumeric display, ETSI DMR digital protocol, and robust 3W internal speaker with front-projecting audio design. This certified refurbished MOTOTRBO mobile radio head unit delivers enterprise-grade communication reliability for transport, logistics, emergency services, construction, and fleet management applications at a fraction of the cost of new equipment.

Important: This listing is for the radio head unit only. No accessories are included—the handset/microphone, mounting hardware, power cables, and other accessories must be purchased separately. All units have the black cosmetic cover missing. Good grade units will have the rubber turning knob missing; however, the radio remains fully functional and can change frequency using the metal knob underneath.

Professional Communication for Demanding Environments

The DM3600 head unit excels in vehicle-mounted and fixed-base installations where reliable two-way communication is critical. Transport companies benefit from the 1,000-channel capacity for managing multiple fleets and dispatch zones, whilst construction sites appreciate the MIL-STD-810 durability that withstands harsh jobsite conditions. Emergency services utilise the programmable emergency button and priority calling features, whilst logistics operations leverage the text messaging capability for silent coordination in noise-sensitive environments.

Reboot IT Verified Refurb Certification

Every Motorola DM3600 head unit undergoes Reboot IT's comprehensive Verified Refurb certification process, where our technicians meticulously test all features and functions using cutting-edge diagnostic software. Established in 2001, Reboot IT has become Australia's leading refurbisher of professional communication equipment, applying over two decades of expertise to ensure your radio performs to manufacturer specifications.

Cosmetic Condition Guide

Please note: All units (both Excellent and Good grade) have the black cosmetic cover missing. This does not affect radio functionality.

Excellent Grade units display minimal signs of previous use with only very light superficial marks that are barely noticeable. The housing, control knobs, and display window show standard wear consistent with light professional use. The volume control knob retains its rubber grip. These radios have been well-maintained throughout their service life.

Good Grade units remain fully operational with more visible evidence of previous deployment, such as light scratches on the housing, minor scuffing, or cosmetic wear on frequently used controls. The rubber turning knob is missing on Good grade units; however, the metal knob underneath remains fully functional, allowing you to change frequency and adjust settings normally without any impact on radio performance.

Regardless of cosmetic grade, all certified refurbished units deliver identical communication performance and reliability.
