Who it's for
The CP185 is a commercial business radio suited to schools, retail and hospitality, and service and manufacturing environments. The 6 Pack is built for teams that need to deploy several radios on the same analog system, so everyone from front-of-house to back-of-house can stay connected on shared channels. If your team needs a digital platform instead, see the Motorola DTR700 Digital Display Radio 6 Pack.
