Motorola R2 Two-Way Radios: Choose Your Band, Mode and Quantity
64 Channels • UHF or VHF • Analog or Analog/Digital Options • IP55
Choose the Motorola R2 configuration that fits your team: UHF or VHF, analog or analog/digital, and the radio quantity you need. Its compact handheld design, IP55 protection and configurable audio suit everyday workplace communication. Adding radios to an existing fleet? Start with the band and operating mode your team already uses, then review programming and accessories before ordering.
Choose your R2
| Purchase decision | What to check |
|---|---|
| Frequency band | Choose UHF (400–480 MHz) or VHF (136–174 MHz) to match your existing system's band and licensed frequencies. |
| Operating mode | Choose Analog for analog operation or Analog/Digital for the digital-capable configuration. Digital features are not included with every selection. |
| Radio quantity | Select the number of radios your team needs. Every R2 radio includes one battery and one individual charger. Bundles also include multi-unit chargers when specified in the bundle listing. |
| Programming | Programming is included at no charge. Choose a programming option when ordering. For customer-specific programming, provide your current radio model, frequency band and channel information so we can review your requirements. |
Expanding or replacing an existing fleet?
An R2 purchase is more than a model-name match. Send your current radio model, frequency band, operating mode and required quantity with your quote request. If you are replacing a CP200d, review the comparison below and confirm compatibility with your existing system.
Who It's For
Teams that want professional MOTOTRBO performance without the flagship price. Need a color display and more channels? Compare the full-keypad 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 to H) and IP55 against dust and water, light for hospitality, rugged enough for concrete drops.
All-Day Battery
With the PMNN4598 2300 mAh battery, Motorola lists typical runtime of 19.5 hours in analog mode or 26.5 hours in digital mode at maximum transmit power on a 5% transmit / 5% receive / 90% standby cycle. Actual runtime varies.
64 Channels
Organize departments such as Security, Maintenance and Administration across 64 configured channels. Channel planning and programming should match your licensed system.
Digital or Analog
UHF and VHF are separate purchase options. Select Analog/Digital if digital operation is needed; confirm frequency, channel and system compatibility before adding radios to an existing fleet.
Enhanced Privacy
Enhanced Privacy is a digital feature. Confirm that the selected radio configuration and the rest of your system support the same privacy settings.
