HI:

The answer is sometimes YES and sometimes NO

Maxtrac 100's 300's series Control Heads are compatable with
with Radius M208, M216's, some used Digital Displays for Multi-Channel Units, and some used just a 2 ch and Monitor LED

HOWEVER, the " Radius " is a Product Group for a number of
radios ! SM50's, SM120's M120's M130's GM300's etc, and
are not DIRECTLY compatable with the Maxtrac Series since
in the Later Model Radius Series, the " Speaker " wires were
routed through the Bulkhead Connectors.

Earlier Radios had the Speaker Wires Independent, and ran
off to their own individule connector.

Thanks Monty For The Info.

There Can Be Differences But Any Tech.
Can Make It Work In Minutes.

We Also Can Use The GM300 On The
Maxtrac Radios.WE Cut The Two Pins Out
Of The Plug That Has The Two Speaker Wires
And Plug And Play.Just Need To Wire The Speaker
Up.WE Also Short Out The PL Hook Switch
So Scan Works WithOut Hanging Up The Mic.
