Motorola R2 Analogue and Digital Versions
The Motorola R2 is available in two main technology configurations. Chris and his team can help determine which version is appropriate for your existing equipment and future requirements.
Motorola R2 Analogue
The analogue-only R2 offers straightforward voice communication for businesses operating a compatible analogue radio system. It can be a sensible choice where existing equipment and operating requirements do not call for a move to digital technology.
Motorola R2 Digital / Analogue
The digital version supports DMR digital communication alongside analogue operation. This makes it particularly useful for organisations introducing digital radios while retaining compatibility with appropriate analogue equipment during a planned transition.
Important: Compatibility depends on the frequencies, programming and configuration of the radios involved. Choice Communications can help assess your existing system before recommending an upgrade.
Where Is the Motorola R2 Used?
The R2 is designed for professional users who need quick and reliable team communication without unnecessary complexity.

Upgrading from Older Motorola Radios
If your business currently uses older Motorola two way radios, including models approaching or reaching end of life, the MOTOTRBO R2 may be worth considering as part of an equipment refresh.
Chris and his team can advise on radio selection, frequency compatibility, programming requirements and suitable accessories. They can also help you compare the R2 with other models in the Motorola two way radio range.
