PMKN4231A vs. PMKN4265A: Which Cable Do You Need?
Both cables use the same Mini-GCAI connection and work with R7, ION, and APX N Series radios. The difference is what you can do with them:
- PMKN4265A: programming and data transfer. This is the right choice for loading configurations and pulling audio recordings.
- PMKN4231A: everything the PMKN4265A does, plus test and alignment. Choose this one if you service radios or need to align and diagnose them.
If you only program radios and never service them, the PMKN4265A is the simpler option. If you're not sure which you need, contact us with your radio model and the job you're doing, and we'll point you to the right cable.
Keep Your APX N70 Radios Powered and Ready
A serviced radio should go back into the field with a healthy battery and the right carry gear:
Why Choose the Original PMKN4231A?
Alignment and diagnostics depend on a stable connection between the radio and your computer. A genuine Motorola cable removes the guesswork of generic cables that may not carry the signals your service software expects. Test and alignment work is generally intended for trained technicians, since incorrect changes can affect radio performance.
