Introducing the Motorola Solutions MOTOTRBO R2: Rugged, Lightweight, and Built for Any Job
In demanding work environments, reliable communication isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. That’s why Motorola Solutions created the MOTOTRBO™ R2, a next-generation portable two-way radio designed to deliver rugged durability, crystal-clear audio, and exceptional range in a sleek, lightweight package. Engineered for industries that prioritize efficiency and safety, the R2 ensures teams stay connected, no matter how challenging the conditions.
Built to Withstand the Toughest Conditions
The MOTOTRBO R2 is purpose-built to handle unpredictable environments with ease. Featuring an IP55 rating for water and dust resistance and compliance with MIL-STD-810 military standards across 11 environmental scenarios, this radio is tough enough to endure dust, rain, vibration, and extreme temperatures. Whether on a dusty construction site, a noisy manufacturing floor, or a wet landscaping job, the R2 delivers consistent performance.
Despite its durability, the R2 is impressively lightweight, weighing less than 11 ounces with its high-capacity battery. It’s been rigorously tested with Motorola’s Accelerated Life Testing (ALT), simulating five years of field use to ensure it stands up to daily wear and tear.
Unmatched Audio Clarity in Any Environment
In noisy workplaces, clear communication can mean the difference between success and setbacks. The MOTOTRBO R2 is equipped with advanced audio capabilities to ensure your team hears and is heard the first time:
- SINC+ Noise Suppression: Eliminates disruptive background noise from machinery, tools, or heavy equipment.
- Selectable Audio Profiles: Enables users to fine-tune audio settings to prioritize low, mid, or high frequencies based on their surroundings.
- Acoustic Feedback Suppression and Automatic Gain Control: Maintains clear, consistent audio without distortion.
- Powerful Loudness: With a maximum output of 101 phons, the R2 is among the loudest radios in its class.
- High Receiver Sensitivity: Paired with efficient antennas, it ensures reliable communication across vast areas, whether indoors or outdoors.

Designed for Simplicity and Efficiency
The MOTOTRBO R2 is built with the user in mind, offering an ergonomic, intuitive design that supports seamless operation:
- A large, curved Push-to-Talk (PTT) button, easy to access even with gloves.
- Two programmable buttons, customizable for quick access to essential functions.
- LED Low Battery Alerts, ensuring users are always notified before power runs out.
For those upgrading from devices like the CP200d, the familiar interface minimizes training time. The R2 also integrates effortlessly with select MOTOTRBO accessories, including chargers, antennas, speaker microphones, and carrying cases—maximizing your investment while enhancing usability.
The Communication Solution That Works as Hard as You Do
The Motorola Solutions MOTOTRBO R2 combines durability, advanced audio performance, and user-friendly design, making it the ideal communication tool for industries that demand reliability. Whether you’re keeping teams connected on a noisy job site or navigating challenging outdoor conditions, the R2 is built to keep you working without interruptions.
Stay Powered All Day

- High-Capacity Battery (PMNN4598): Delivers up to 26.5 hours of digital operation.
- Slim Battery (PMNN4600): Provides up to 22.5 hours in digital mode.
Thanks to its intelligent design, you can easily check battery status by pressing the PTT button— a red blink indicates it’s time to recharge.
