Motorola DP3600 Programmable Display Motorsport Radio System | Harris Race Radios®

The Motorola DP3600 Programmable Display Professional Digital Motorsport Radio System is the premium pit-to-car communications solution for larger teams and serious competitors who need complete channel flexibility. Built around the Motorola MotoTrbo DP3600 — a full programmable display radio — this system allows teams to instantly select between different cars, different race radio frequencies, and different race types — Race Radio, GT Members, Toyota Race Radio, NZGT Digital, MEGA, and more — directly from the front panel. No reprogramming, no pit stops, no delays.

This is a must-have system for teams running multiple cars or competing across multiple race series. Where the DP3400 system is set-and-forget for sprint racing, the DP3600 Display system gives your team the versatility to manage communications across your entire operation from a single pit radio. Switch from car 1 to car 2, from team channel to Race Radio, from MEGA to NZGT — all from the display, instantly.

Ideal for endurance racing, rally, off-road, and any form of motorsport where channel flexibility matters — MEGA, Bathurst 12 Hour, Targa, NZGT, GT Members, Toyota Race Radio, Quin, and Motorsport Australia (CAMS) sanctioned events.

Important: This complete radio system includes the in-car and pit radios and wiring listed below. It does not include a helmet, helmet kit, mic, speakers, earpieces, or radio licence. These are selected separately to suit your helmet type, brand, and class rules.

We recommend the use of a full private channel licence for best results. Harris Race Radios is licensed to issue NZ radio licences through Radio Spectrum Management (RSM). Australian customers should contact us regarding ACMA licensing requirements — Rex Harris is an ACMA-recognised engineer and can advise on AU radio licensing and compliance.

Engineered by Rex & Aaron Harris

This is not an off-the-shelf radio package. The Motorola DP3600 race radio system has been configured, wired, and tested by Rex and Aaron Harris — New Zealand and Australia's most experienced motorsport radio engineers. Rex Harris is a qualified Radio Telecommunications Engineer and Approved Radio Certifier for both NZ RSM and AU ACMA, with motorsport radio experience since 1975 starting at the Marlboro Series Grand Prix.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this system and the Motorola DP3400 system?

The DP3400 system uses a fixed-display radio — channels are programmed before the event and cannot be changed from the cockpit or pit. This DP3600 Display system uses a full programmable display radio where the team can instantly switch between cars, race frequencies, and race types from the pit radio display. For larger teams or multi-series competitors, the DP3600 Display system is a must.

Can I manage multiple cars from one pit radio?

Yes — this is the key advantage of the DP3600 Display system. Teams running 2 or more cars can switch between car channels directly from the pit radio display, without changing hardware or reprogramming. This is how serious teams manage multi-car operations at events like MEGA, Bathurst, and Targa.

Can I switch between different race radio frequencies from the display?

Yes — Race Radio, GT Members, MEGA, NZGT Digital, Toyota Race Radio, team channel, and any other programmed frequency can be selected directly from the DP3600 front panel display. No reprogramming required between sessions or series.

Is this system approved for MSNZ and Motorsport Australia events?

Yes — this system is compatible with and approved for MSNZ and Motorsport Australia (CAMS) sanctioned events. Harris Race Radios supplies race radio communications to both organisations.

Does the system include a radio licence?

No — a radio licence is not included but is recommended. Harris Race Radios is licensed to issue NZ radio licences through RSM. Rex Harris is an ACMA-recognised engineer and can advise on AU compliance.

Do you ship to Australia?

Yes. Harris Race Radios ships to Australia with NZ stock held locally for fast dispatch. Contact Aaron Harris on +64 27 449 9654 for system advice and programming.
