Motorola R2 Digital Two-Way Radio: Rugged, Clear, Built to Outlast the Shift

64 Channels • SINC+ Noise Cancellation • IP55 • Up to 26.5 Hrs • Digital or Analog

The Motorola R2 is the next-generation successor to the legendary Motorola CP200d — slimmer, lighter, and tougher, with SINC+ Advanced Noise Cancellation that cuts through machinery roar so your team is heard the first time, every time. It is a business-grade digital and analog handheld built for construction, warehousing, retail, and hospitality crews that cannot afford dropped communication.

Who It's For

Teams that want professional MOTOTRBO performance without the flagship price. Need maximum capability — louder adaptive audio, a color display, more channels? Step up to the Motorola R7. Want a simpler, analog-friendly workhorse? Compare the Motorola CP100d.

Key Features

SINC+ Noise Cancellation

Advanced noise cancellation filters out background roar from machinery and crowds, delivering crisp, intelligible audio even in high-decibel zones.

Slim & Tough

Under 11 ounces with battery, yet built to MIL-STD 810 (C–H) and IP55 against dust and water — light for hospitality, rugged enough for concrete drops.

All-Day Battery

Up to 26.5 hours of runtime depending on battery, so the Motorola R2 outlasts double shifts and overnight coverage on a single charge.

64 Channels

Segment your workforce into dedicated talk groups — Security, Maintenance, Admin — for streamlined, interference-free coordination.

Digital or Analog

Runs on UHF 400–480 MHz or VHF 136–174 MHz — keep your current analog fleet today and migrate to digital clarity on your own schedule.

Enhanced Privacy

Built-in Enhanced Privacy encryption helps keep your team's conversations confidential over the air.
