Motorola RMV2080: 2-Watt VHF Business Radio Built for Outdoor & Wide-Area Coverage

8 Channels • 2 Watts VHF • NOAA Weather Alerts • Up to 15 Hrs • IP55

The Motorola RMV2080 is an 8-channel, 2-Watt VHF business two-way radio built for outdoor and wide-area work — construction sites, agriculture, and sprawling campuses where VHF frequencies travel farther across open ground. With coverage up to 250,000 sq ft or 20 floors plus built-in NOAA weather alerts, the Motorola RMV2080 keeps crews connected and ahead of the storm. Browse the full lineup of business two-way radios.

Who It's For

Outdoor and wide-area crews that need VHF reach across open ground. Working mostly indoors or across multiple floors? The UHF version — the Motorola RMU2080 — is built for that. Want to skip the FCC license entirely? Compare the license-free Motorola RMM2050 MURS radio.

Key Features

VHF Range for Open Spaces

2 Watts on VHF (150.8–160 MHz) reaches up to 250,000 sq ft or 20 floors — ideal for wide outdoor coverage across job sites and campuses.

NOAA Weather Alerts

Built-in NOAA alerts and customized channel announcements keep crews ahead of changing conditions in the field.

8 Channels

Organize teams and job sites across 8 dedicated channels for clean, coordinated communication.

Loud, Clear Audio Outdoors

A 1500 mW speaker with wind-noise reduction keeps messages intelligible outdoors, even in gusty, open-air conditions.

Jobsite-Tough Build

MIL-STD 810 (C–G) rated and IP55 dust- and water-resistant — ready for dust, drops, and weather on the job.

All-Day Battery

A high-capacity Li-Ion battery delivers up to 15 hours of runtime with Battery Saver, so the Motorola RMV2080 lasts the full shift.

Backed by Motorola

Covered by a 2-year Motorola manufacturer warranty for dependable, long-term service.
