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.
64 Channels
64 channels plus 2 programmable buttons let you organize teams and tailor the R2 to any workflow.
Advanced Noise Suppression
A high-powered speaker with noise suppression and feedback reduction keeps your voice clear in the noisiest factories, sites, and venues.
UHF & VHF Models
Choose UHF (400–480 MHz) or VHF (136–174 MHz) to match your environment, running digital or analog.
Up to 26 Hrs Battery
19.5 to 26.5 hours of runtime (depending on battery) carries the R2 through the longest shifts on a single charge.
IP55 & MIL-STD 810
IP55-rated against dust and water and compliant with MIL-STD 810 C–H for shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures.
Lightweight & Ergonomic
At just 10.4 oz with a textured, slip-resistant grip, the R2 stays comfortable through long shifts on the move.
Wide Coverage
Up to 400,000 sq. ft. or 25 floors of coverage keeps teams in sync across large campuses and facilities.
