More two way radio users purchase the Motorola CP200 than any other model. What are the features that make this walkie talkie so popular? It’s durable construction, full accessory line, and affordable price highlight the list.

Durability:

The CP200 passes military standards 810 C, D, E and F and withstands Motorola’s accelerated life testing. Accelerated life testing is laboratory testing that simulates years of field use.

The CP200 is made with a steel chasis and was one of the first two way radios to utilize the unique battery lock-in mechanism.

This mechanism is a radio saver. If you accidentally drop this walkie talkie, the battery stays connected to the radio.

Full accessory line.

The CP200 accessory line comes with a wide range of options for headsets, microphones, earpiecess and carry cases. You can customize your system based on which accessory fits in your budget and meets your quality standards. These accessories are plugged into the walkie talkie by a strong, two pronged accessory connector, which prevents the accessory from slipping out of its connection. Actually, you really have to pull hard on the connector to remove the accessory.

Affordable:

With some models priced under $300.00, it is a very affordable two way radio. In the past, radios with the level of durability and audio quality of the cp200 were in the $600 to $800 range. The Motorola CP200 comes standard with a lithium ion (Li-ion) battery, rapid rate charger and two year warranty. The high capacity lithium battery assures the battery will last a full shift and it will not develop a memory if they are improperly charged.
