FREQUENCY AND CODE

Notes:
• (*) Due to FCC regulations these frequencies (six in total) are different from the previous Motorola
Solutions Legacy Series radios. This means that if you select the RDX radio in one of these
frequencies the radio will not inter-operate with an XTN radio. In order for a RDX radio to inter-operate
with an XTN radio, make sure you choose any of the frequencies (21 in total) that are common for
both radios.

PLEASE NOTICE THAT THE FACTORY DEFAULT CONFIGURATION OF THE RDX RADIOS HAVE BEEN MODIFIED TO BE IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THE 2013 FCC NARROWBAND MANDATE. THIS MANDATE REQUIRES RADIO OPERATORS TO SWITCH
THE CONFIGURATION OF THEIR EQUIPMENT TO 12.5 KHZ CHANNEL BANDWIDTH BY JANUARY 1ST, 2013. THE RDX RADIO
CHANNEL BANDWIDTH DEFAULT HAS BEEN SET AT 12.5 KHZ.
IF THIS NEW RADIO IS AN ADDITION OR REPLACEMENT TO AN EXISTING GROUP OF RADIOS WITH 25 KHz SETTING
(LEGACY FACTORY CONFIGURATION), ACTION MAY BE REQUIRED ON YOUR PART IN ORDER TO OPTIMIZE OPERATION
OF YOUR FLEET AND BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH FCC RULES.
TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL BANDWITH OF YOUR OLDER RDX RADIO FROM 25 KHZ TO 12.5 KHZ YOU MAY USE THE
