RCI Serial Number question???

How do you tell what year a RCI radio is made by just looking at the Serial Number? I know on my Kenwood TS-850 you just subtract 2 from the first digit of the serial number and that gives you the year.

Such as my Kenwood S/N is 70,xxx,xxx so you subtract 2 from 7 and you get 5. So it was made in 1995.

Does this apply to the RCI brand? I was told it did, but I wasn't sure.

Thanks!

    I will not be there but hopefully by the end of this month I will have my New tower and antennas back in the air including my M2 6M5X. The old tower and all of my antennas came down in October 2023 during a Hurricane.
