Motorola DP3400 Professional Digital Motorsport Radio System | Harris Race Radios®

Motorola DP3400 Professional Digital Motorsport Radio System

The Motorola DP3400 Professional Digital Motorsport Radio System is a complete digital pit-to-car communications package for circuit racing, rally, endurance and off-road competition in New Zealand and Australia. Harris Race Radios configures the car radio, pit radio, wiring, aerial, headset and programming to the team’s requirements.

This is a dual-purpose professional system. It can monitor the appropriate Race Radio while also providing permitted pit-to-car and car-to-pit team communications through the compatible radio, intercom and helmet setup. Read the Race Radios™ monitoring and motorsport communications guide before choosing the required programming.

Who is the DP3400 system for?

The DP3400 suits sprint racing, club competition, single-series endurance, rally and off-road teams that want a professional digital radio system programmed before the event. It is also suitable for teams that need Race Radio monitoring alongside permitted team communications in one configured system.

Race Radio monitoring and primary programming

The system is configured for the primary race series or event requirements supplied before ordering. Depending on the setup, this can include MSNZ, MEGA, GT Members, Quin, Toyota, NZGT and Australian motorsport systems. Frequencies, channel plans, digital settings and licensing requirements vary, so confirm the event, class, venue and required Race Radio before ordering.

Where an event requires competitors to monitor a one-way Race Radio, the appropriate monitoring function remains part of the system configuration. Do not transmit on a controlled one-way event channel.

Technical specifications

DP3400 or DP3600 display system?

The DP3400 is suited to competitors and teams that select their required channel before the event or run a defined series setup. Teams running multiple cars or multiple race series may prefer the Motorola DP3600 Programmable Display System, which is designed for greater channel and race-type flexibility.

Licensing, compatibility and setup

Radio licensing and permitted frequency use depend on the jurisdiction, frequency, event and system configuration. Harris Race Radios can advise on the information needed for New Zealand RSM or Australian ACMA requirements. Tell us the car, helmet, intercom, event, class and communication requirements before ordering so the system can be configured correctly.

Frequently asked questions

Can the DP3400 monitor Race Radio as well as provide team communications?

Yes. When correctly configured, the professional system can combine Race Radio monitoring with permitted pit-to-car and car-to-pit communication. It does not remove any event requirement to monitor the appropriate Race Radio.

Is the DP3400 suitable for digital race-radio systems?

It is a digital professional radio system. Confirm the exact digital event system, channel plan, programming and licensing requirements before ordering.

Does the system include a radio licence?

No. A radio licence is not included. Licensing and permitted use depend on the jurisdiction, frequency and event requirements, so contact Harris Race Radios for NZ RSM or AU ACMA guidance.

What if I need to switch between multiple cars or race series?

The DP3400 is best suited to a defined setup programmed before the event. For larger teams or competitors needing more channel flexibility, compare the Motorola DP3600 Programmable Display System.

What should I provide before ordering?

Provide the event, class, venue, car, helmet, intercom and communication requirements. Harris Race Radios can then confirm the correct programming, system configuration and compatible equipment.
