Motorola MOTOTRBO R2
Motorola's everyday radio. The DP1400's replacement, with a 26-hour battery.

The R2 replaced the DP1400, the radio half the UK hire industry was built on, and it uses the same batteries, chargers and 2-pin accessories. It has 64 channels, an IP55 body, a loud speaker and a 26-hour digital battery. There is a rental timer built in, which tells you how much Motorola expects it to be hired out. Good for events, hospitality, retail and schools.
