Motorola R2: The New Standard in Industrial Durability

Workplaces are getting louder, faster, and more demanding. The Motorola R2 is engineered to keep pace. As the next-generation successor to the legendary CP200d, the R2 takes everything you trusted in a workhorse radio and refines it into a slimmer, lighter, and tougher package. Whether you are managing a noisy construction site or a sprawling warehouse, this radio delivers the Motorola R2 promise: unstoppable communication in an ultra-reliable form factor.

Engineered for the Extremes

The Motorola R2 is not just a tool; it is a lifeline. Designed to withstand the rigors of daily use, it carries an IP55 rating for resistance to dust and water intrusion. But the real game-changer is the audio. Equipped with SINC+ Advanced Noise Cancellation, the R2 cuts through the roar of machinery and heavy equipment, ensuring your voice is heard clearly the first time, every time.

  • Next-Level Clarity: SINC+ technology filters out background noise, delivering crisp, intelligible audio even in high-decibel zones.
  • All-Day Endurance: The high-capacity Li-Ion battery provides up to 15.5 hours of runtime, ensuring the radio outlasts your longest shifts.
  • Slim & Tough: Weighing less than 11 ounces with a battery, the R2 is lightweight enough for hospitality staff yet rugged enough for concrete drops.
  • Expanded Capacity: With 64 channels, you can segment your workforce into dedicated talk groups (Security, Maintenance, Admin) for streamlined coordination.

Who Needs the Motorola R2?

This radio is built for industries that cannot afford downtime or miscommunication:

  • Construction & Trades: Survive the dust, drops, and noise of active job sites while keeping crews coordinated.
  • Security Teams: Rely on discreet, clear communication for crowd control and rapid response.
  • Manufacturing: Overcome the noise of the production line with superior audio capabilities.
  • Education Campuses: Connect staff across multiple buildings and outdoor areas with reliable UHF/VHF coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Motorola R2

Is the Motorola R2 a replacement for the CP200d?

Yes. The Motorola R2 is the modern successor to the CP200d. It is thinner, lighter, and more durable while maintaining full compatibility with your existing CP200d audio accessories and chargers.

Does the Motorola R2 require an FCC license?

Yes. The Motorola R2 operates on licensed business frequencies (UHF or VHF). An FCC license is required to use this device legally, ensuring you have a private channel free from public interference.

What is the difference between UHF and VHF models?

UHF (Ultra High Frequency) is best for indoor use, as it penetrates obstacles like concrete, steel, and drywall effectively. VHF (Very High Frequency) travels further in open outdoor spaces. Choose UHF for buildings; choose VHF for open fields.

Can I use my old earpieces with the R2?

Yes. The Motorola R2 uses the standard Motorola 2-pin accessory connector. If you have audio accessories from a CP200, CP200d, or BPR40, they will plug directly into the R2.

How durable is the Motorola R2?

The radio is built to MIL-STD 810 standards for shock and vibration and carries an IP55 rating. This means it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for rain and dirty work environments.
