Batboard

Any updates on this new lower tier digital radio? Anything as far as what type of program cable, CPS, price, battery type, etc? Looks like it uses the waris style battery, like the 2500. It's appears to be structured similarly with the knobs and PTT/button layout.

Yes, the 1500 uses the Waris battery, and Jedi audio accessories. Its a 16 channel radio.

Its going to be a nice radio, the VHF model is impressive.

Knobs, PTT, are identical.

It also uses the same CPS as the XTS2500 & 5000 series radios.
