After making a bunch of cellphone only adapters that don't pass the PTT signal that a radio would need to operate I decided to design and build a prototype adapter that allows you to connect ham radios in addition to cellphones to the VIC intercoms. The audio paths are selectable between 300 and...

It is 100% compatible. I run an RT246 with my VIC-3 weekly. Before I got this radio I was running an RT524 for about 6 months.

All of the boxes are paid for and shipped. Thanks everyone. If you are on the list and didn't get one you'll keep your place in case I do another round.Augi
