⚠ This Radio Has Been Discontinued
The Motorola RDU4160D is no longer manufactured or available for purchase — Motorola has retired the entire RDX series. For new orders we recommend its direct replacement, the Motorola CP100d — a current dual-mode analog and digital UHF business radio that covers the same on-site use with a clear digital upgrade path. Already running RDU4160D radios and need help migrating a fleet to a current radio? Call our team at 1-800-507-6002.
The Motorola RDU4160D, part of the RDX Series, was a 4-watt UHF business two-way radio engineered for reliable, high-performance on-site communication. Operating across 89 business-exclusive UHF frequencies, it paired military-spec durability with up to 16 channels and a clear tricolor LED interface — a true workhorse for warehouses, retail floors, and light-industrial crews. Although the Motorola RDU4160D is now discontinued, this page remains live as a reference and to point new buyers toward the right current-generation replacement: the Motorola CP100d.

What Replaces the Motorola RDU4160D?
Now that the RDX series is retired, the Motorola CP100d is the direct replacement and our top recommendation for most teams. It delivers the same simple, rugged UHF push-to-talk the RDU4160D was known for, and adds dual-mode analog and digital operation — so you can run alongside legacy radios today and migrate to clearer digital audio at your own pace. Pair it with CP100d accessories to complete a fleet. For larger or growing operations, the Motorola BPR50dX adds more channels and capacity. Prefer a license-free option? The Motorola CURVE DLR110 skips the FCC license entirely. Browse the full lineup in our business two-way radios collection, or compare current license-free two-way radios.
