Hytera HM659 Professional DMR Mobile Radio — Detail

Technical assessment

The Hytera HM659 operates across UHF: 400~470MHz, 450~527MHz; VHF: 136~174MHz. Several band versions exist; which one to buy follows from the frequency assigned to your organisation. UHF passes between walls and obstructions more readily, which is why it is preferred inside buildings, industrial plants and dense urban areas. VHF carries further over open ground and water at the same power.

RF output power is Low: 5–25 W, High: 5–45 W. More power is not automatically better: it extends range and shortens battery life at the same time. Teams working close to a repeater are usually served by the low setting, which also lengthens the shift.

Capacity is 512 channels across 32 zones. A zone is a page of grouped channels — separate zones are defined for different sites, different shifts or joint working with another organisation. On a multi-site system that grows, this is what lets the channel plan be extended without a rebuild.

Receiver sensitivity is 0.18 μV / BER5%. Sensitivity states how weak a signal the radio can still decode, and a lower number is better. At the edge of coverage it determines range as much as transmit power does — communication usually fails not because the other party cannot hear, but because the radio cannot decode a weak signal.

Ingress protection is IP54. IP67 and above means the device withstands immersion in one metre of water. The rating only holds if the fitted battery and the accessory jack cover carry the same class; a standard battery lowers the protection of the whole assembly.

Operating temperature range is -30°C ~ +60°C.

The digital protocol is ETSI-TS102 361-1,-2,-3 — the ETSI DMR standard. Basic communication with other manufacturers’ radios is possible in standard Tier II mode; advanced trunking, vendor encryption and fleet management features do not carry across brands.

Location support is GPS, BeiDou. Where position reporting will be used, the antenna has to be chosen for it as well: fit an antenna that does not cover the GPS band at 1575 MHz and the radio will communicate perfectly while showing no position on the dispatch screen.
