Different models operating on common frequencies can communicate with each other. Furthermore, RLX2 series radios can communicate with ProSoft Technology’s legacy RLXIB series of radios (except RLXIB-IHN). Details on the specific differences between the RLX2 and RLXIB series products can be found in the Compatibility with ProSoft RLXIB Series Radios section on page 149.
