Motorola RMU2040 Detailed Information
The Motorola RMU2040 is a fantastic ergonomically designed 4-channel two-way radio that operates on the FCC itinerant UHF frequencies. With excellent audio quality, water & dust resistance, and the standard Motorola 2-pin earpiece connector, the RMU2040 is an ideal choice for small businesses.
Audio Quality
Motorola RMU2040 has excellent audio quality providing clear and crisp audio meaning the RMU2040 can be used in challenging environments.
Durability & Water Resistance
Motorola RMU2040 conforms to the MIL-STD-810 standard (military standard 810) which is a set of manufacturing, performance, robustness, and endurance guidelines set by the US department of defense. That means you can be sure that the Motorola RMU2040 is durable enough to withstand even the most challenging conditions and environments. Motorola RMU2040 meets IP55 Ingres protection rating meaning it gives adequate dust resistance and waterproofing from un-pressured water jets (i.e. light rain).
Voice Announcements
The Motorola RMU2040 has voice annunciation meaning the radio announces events such as when the channel has been changed or when the battery is running low on power. The channel's names can be customized (only be using the free programming software available from Motorola's website) to announce a customized channel name. The software uses text-to-speech to generate the channel name announcement file. When an earpiece is connected, the annunciation is also heard via the earpiece.
Call Tones
Motorola RMU2040 has 3 call tones which allow the user to notify the fleet of a call/important announcement that sends an alarm-type ring to the rest of the fleet. This feature needs to be programmed into the radio using the free programming software (HKKN4027 programming cable also required) Call tone can be assigned to any of the two programmable buttons next to the PTT.
Audio Accessory Socket & Earpiece Options
The Motorola RMU2040 has a standard Motorola-style 2-pin audio socket. This means that earpieces and other audio accessories and cost-effective. But also means there are plenty of options available including Motorola's genuine d-shape earpiece and genuine covert-earpiece.
Motorola RMU2040 also has voice activation (also known as VOX). That means the RMU2040 can be activated by voice alone, without pushing the PTT, allowing for completely hands-free communication. All that's needed is a VOX-compatible headset or earpiece.
Chargers & Batteries
Motorola RMU2040 has two charger options. The Motorola RMU2040 is usually supplied with a single slot-in type desk charger. There's also a 6-way charger that allows the simultaneous charging of 6x RMU-series radios at the same time.
There are 3 battery options. The Motorola RMU2040 is usually supplied with the Motorola PMNN4434AR 2100mAh lithium battery which offers between 8 and 10 hours of use. However, if longer use between charges is required, there is also a PMNN4453AR 3000mAh lithium battery which can offer up to 18 hours of use. Battery life between charges is usually considered 5% receive, 5% transmit, and 90% standby.
Warranty
When purchasing this radio the user is guaranteed for 2 years. The warranty provides a full replacement in cases of faulty radio hardware
Motorola RMU2040 Frequencies, Channels & License
The Motorola RMU2040 has 89 pre-defined frequencies that can be programmed into any of the 4 available channels.
CTCSS/DCS tones (also known as PL/DPL codes) help to exclude unwanted radio transmissions. There are 219 CTCSS/DCS tones including 6 customizable tones. By selecting a specific tone hearing unwanted radio transmissions are very unlikely.
Programming
The RMU2040 is supplied programmed with 2 channels and can program an extra 2 channels, making 4 channels in total.
Default Channel Programming
| Channel # | Frequency Table # | Frequency | CTCSS/DCS Tone (#) | Power / License Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 464.550 MHz | 67.0 (1) | Yellow Dot, 2W, Itinerant |
| 2 | 8 | 467.925 MHz | 67.0 (1) | Blue Star, 2W, Itinerant |
The Motorola RMU2040's 4 channels can be set to any of the pre-defined frequencies and any of the 219 CTCSS/DCS tones. Programming the channels is done by either directly programming the radio using advanced configuration mode (see the user guide), or by using the free programming software (you'll just need a HKKN4027 programming cable).
Cloning Programmed Channels
Once the radio is configured exactly as required, rather than programming every radio individually, the Motorola RMU2040 settings can be cloned using the PMLN6384 6-way charger, the PMLN6394 single charger (with a HKKN4028 radio to radio cloning cable), or by reading the radio then writing another using the free programming software (and a HKKN4027 programming cable).
Motorola RMU2040 UHF 2W 4 Channel Features Explained
Taken from our knowledge base, we explain each feature of the Motorola RMU2040 UHF 2W 4 Channel.
Channel Scanning
With the channel scanning feature, the radio can monitor a number of channels by scanning them for an incomiming transmission in sequence and respond when a transmission is detected.
When programming your radio, it is possible to include or exclude channels from the scan, this allows for channels of highest priority to be added meaning that staff members never miss an important transmission. Channel scanning is an ideal choice in environments where updates are frequently given, thus allowing for all of your members of staff to remain alert to changing conditions.
Digital hybrid radios can usually scan either or both digital and analog channels sequentially. This allows for an extremely flexible scan facility where the user can monitor many channels across both analog and digital modes.
Voice Activation (VOX)
VOX, more commonly known as "voice activation", allows the two-way radio be activated by just your voice speaking into the radio.
How To Use VOX
Most two-way radios' voice activation feature only works via an external VOX-capable earpiece or headset. Once connected, however, you simply start speaking and the two-way radio will electronically engage the PTT button and microphone. When the radio can no longer hear any audio, the two-way radio automatically disengages the PTT.
Activating VOX
VOX is activated in most preprogrammed business two way radios via a button combination on the radio; or by simply connecting a vox-compatible earpiece or headset. However, almost all of our programmable two-way radios will require additional programming for VOX to be switched on.
VOX Drawbacks
Any noise that's near to the sound of a human voice will also activate VOX. therefore, it's not suitable for environments where there are multiple human voices close by.
