The Shuttle Service I work for is using Kenwood TK863G. I want to get a handheld piece as back up in case it breaks down. Now, I am looking at Kenwood TK3180. Is it true that I can listen and talk on the handheld as long as they have the same frenquency range?
Also, our mounted radio had our service initial displayed, does that mean I'll have to set my handheld as well? Does trunked system and conventional system restrict me from listening to one another?

I am probably asking non-sense questions but I hope someone could solve it for me. It's quite hard to find info. online.
Thx
 
Based on the specifications of each radio, I expect they will be compatible. Both support conventional channel selection, and trunking. It appears to just be a matter of set-up and configuration.
