Compatibility
This version ships with the BNC adapter for Rugged R1, GMR2 PLUS, RDH16, RDHX and ABH7 handhelds. Separate versions cover Icom, Motorola and Vertex radios. This is a UHF (450–470 MHz) kit — it does not fit VHF (144–174 MHz) handhelds; choose the matching VHF kit for a VHF radio. Do not over-tighten the antenna onto the NMO connector.
