Motorola R2 Portable Two-Way Radio

64 Channels • UHF & VHF • IP55 Rugged • Up to 26 Hrs Battery • MIL-STD 810

The Motorola R2 portable two-way radio is a rugged, lightweight commercial-grade radio that delivers best-in-class audio, extended range, and all-day battery life for teams in manufacturing, construction, retail, hospitality, and security. With 64 channels, advanced noise suppression, and both UHF and VHF models, the R2 is the trusted upgrade from legacy radios like the CP200d — a professional commercial two-way radio built for demanding environments.

Who It's For

The Motorola R2 suits crews that need reliable, professional coverage across a busy facility without the bulk of a full-feature digital fleet. Outfitting a whole team? Step up to a 6-pack with multi-unit charger or a 12-pack fleet bundle, and keep every unit powered with a spare PMNN4598 2300 mAh battery.

Key Features

Up to 26 Hrs Battery
