Product Information
Motorola RMV2080 Two-Way Radio
Built for teams that work outdoors, the Motorola RMV2080 delivers reliable, crystal-clear communication across up to 250,000 square feet of open terrain. With 2 watts of VHF power and 8 channels, it gives large outdoor crews—think golf courses, safari parks, national parks, and farms—the flexibility and range they need to stay connected across wide-open spaces.
Important note: The RMV2080 operates on VHF frequencies, which perform best outdoors with limited obstructions. If your team works primarily indoors or in dense urban environments, a UHF or digital radio will serve you better. Not sure which is right for you?

Built to Last Through the Toughest Shifts
This radio isn't just durable—it's proven durable. The RMV2080 meets MIL-SPEC 810C/D/E/F/G and IP54/55 standards, and has undergone Motorola's exclusive Accelerated Life Testing (ALT), which simulates up to 5 years of field use. That includes:
- 30 minutes of blowing rain on every surface
- 9 hours of continuous vibration exposure
- 48 hours of salt fog exposure
- 6 hours of blowing dust on all surfaces
- Temperature extremes from -67°F to 160°F
Accidental drops happen. Dust accumulates. Shifts run long. The RMV2080 handles all of it without missing a beat—and backs it up with a 2-year replacement warranty.
Clear Communication, Every Time
A powerful 1,500 mW speaker cuts through ambient noise so your team can hear and respond clearly, even in loud outdoor environments. Key audio features include:
- Channel Announcement with Voice Alias: Keep the radio on your belt and still know which channel you're on. Choose from 16 pre-recorded work functions—security, customer service, cashier, and more.
- Voice Prompts: Manage the radio without needing to look at a display.
- Advanced VOX (Voice Activation): Enables fully hands-free operation, with or without accessories.
Stay Informed with NOAA Weather Alerts
Channel 8 comes pre-assigned to the National Weather Service, delivering real-time weather warnings, watches, and forecasts 24/7. For teams working in national parks, open fields, or coastal areas, this feature isn't just convenient—it's a safety net.
8 Channels. Business-Exclusive Frequencies. Full Control.
The RMV2080 operates on 27 VHF business-exclusive frequencies with 219 PL/DPL codes (including 6 customizable codes), giving your team private, interference-free communication.
