Compatibility

The A430T can communicate with compatible analog or DMR radios when the frequency band, operating mode and channel settings match. Digital operation also requires matching system parameters, including color code, time slot and talkgroup or radio IDs as applicable. Proprietary features and encryption may not work across different radio brands.

This is not a dual-band radio. A UHF radio does not communicate directly with a VHF radio. Confirm your existing radio model and channel configuration before ordering.
