Before you program

The RDU4160D is discontinued and this guide is intended for existing radios. Record the settings from a working radio before changing a fleet. Radios must use compatible frequency and code settings to communicate, and transmit settings should match your organization's FCC authorization.

Check the RDU4160D product and availability page, use the RDU4160D manuals and programming resources, or compare current commercial two-way radios. You can also browse every product video guide.
