Frequently Asked Questions About Motorola RMV2080

What is the realistic range of the RMV2080?

The RMV2080 is optimized for outdoor use, offering coverage up to 220,000 square feet or approximately 1.5 miles in open terrain. In vertical structures, it can penetrate up to 13 floors, though steel and concrete may affect this range.

Is the RMV2080 waterproof?

The radio is rated IP55, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets (like rain or a hose-down) from any direction. While it is highly weather-resistant, it is not fully submersible.

Does the Motorola RMV2080 require an FCC license?

Yes. The RMV2080 operates on VHF business frequencies between 151-159 MHz. To operate legally without interference, your business must obtain an FCC license. This ensures you have a dedicated frequency for your operations.

Can I use the RMV2080 indoors?

You can, but it may not be the best choice. VHF waves are longer and struggle to penetrate thick concrete walls or steel structures compared to UHF radios. If your primary use is indoors (like a warehouse or hotel), a UHF model like the RMU2040 or a digital model like the DTR700 is recommended.

What comes in the box?

The standard Motorola RMV2080 kit includes the radio unit, a rechargeable Li-Ion battery, a drop-in charging tray with power supply, a swivel belt holster, and the user guide—everything required for immediate deployment.
