Pricing & availability by quote. Every radio is programmed, tested and supported by our Memphis shop.

Overview

The NX-1700 and NX-1800 bring NX-3000-style features to an affordable vehicle radio. They speak NXDN or DMR digital and FM analog, so they work alongside the portables you already have, and they can be upgraded from analog to digital by software license, with no new hardware. The loud 6-watt speaker cuts through road and engine noise, and the front panel shows channel names and status clearly.
