Great care was taken in the design process of the CM200 mobile radios to help ensure ruggedness and reliability, ease of use and functionality.

These new mobiles offer large controls that are easy to grip even when wearing gloves; a powerful 4-watt speaker that is forward facing for superb audio clarity; 3-color LED indicators (red, yellow, green) to show visible feedback of transmit, scan and monitor status; microphone and controls are located on the left, closest to the driver for easy reach; bright visual indicators can be read at a glance.
