Radio Compatibility

With its simple USB "Plug and Play" installation, the RIGblaster Data Jack Plug & Play is the simplest RIGblaster to plug in provided that your radio has compatible data/aux jacks. If your radio's data jack allows operation on all bands and modes while supporting proper microphone operation, the RIGblaster Data Jack Plug and Play may be may be the best RIGblaster for you. Adaptors are required for most radios.

Computer Interface
