Motorola DLR1020: Discontinued — Replaced by the Motorola CURVE DLR110
Discontinued Model • License-Free 900 MHz • 2 Channels • See the Recommended Replacement Below
⚠ This Radio Has Been Discontinued
The Motorola DLR1020 is no longer manufactured or available for purchase. For new orders we recommend its direct replacement, the Motorola CURVE DLR110 — the current license-free 900 MHz digital business radio that keeps the same FHSS platform in an updated, ergonomic build. Already running DLR1020 radios and need to expand or upgrade a fleet? Call our team at 1-800-507-6002.
The Motorola DLR1020 was a license-free 900 MHz ISM digital two-way radio built for compact, discreet, on-site communication. Using Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS), it delivered secure, interference-free audio with no FCC license required — making it a popular choice across retail, hospitality, events, education, and healthcare. Today that role is filled by the current Motorola CURVE DLR110.
