NEW CONCEPT DESIGN

Kenwood employed premium industrial design concepts to make the TK-2180/3180 portables functionally practical, rugged and an attractive piece of equipment to carry.

KENWOOD ??????K??????LARITY ???

ENHANCED AUDIO

Kenwood utilizes its long standing audio heritage to optimize voice frequency components so that the audio output cuts through typical ambient noise. This enhancement and the companded noise reduction provide clarity and low distortion.

VOICE INVERSION SCRAMBLER

The built-in voice inversion scrambler provides basic communications protection against casual eavesdropping.

VOX READY

The TK-2180/3180 offers convenient hands-free operation with a compatible headset. The TK-2180/3180 internal VOX (voice-operated transmission) circuitry provides automatic PTT and a 10-level sensitivity adjustment for different ambient noise levels.

MEETS/EXCEEDS MIL-STD

BLOWING RAIN & IP54/55

The TK-2180/3180 is built to survive the hard knocks, drops and harsh weather environments of its users. It meets or exceeds the stringent IP54/55 dust and water

protection standards and the MIL-STD 810 C, D, E & F environmental standards including the demanding ???blowing rain??? test.

Outstanding Features

FleetSync?? & FleetSync?? II

Kenwood???s FleetSync?? digital signalling system includes PTT ID digital ANI for instant radio call identification and Emergency status for personnel safety. FleetSync also includes status messaging, selective calling and short/long text dispatch messaging features. The TK-2180/3180 supports either original FleetSync?? or FleetSync?? II*.

* FleetSync and FleetSync II are incompatible.

DUAL PRIORITY & VARIOUS SCANNING FUNCTIONS

Dual-Priority Scan automatically checks two important channels for activity while channel scanning. Also, each radio can be programmed to scan any organization of channels and talk groups using the many programmable scan features and parameters.

5-TONE SIGNALLING

In addition to FleetSync??, the TK-2180/3180 includes the industry standard signalling formats: QT/DQT, DTMF and 5-tone. In particular, 5-tone signalling has been significantly enhanced for greater flexibility, and current users of this format will welcome the fact that it can be used in combination with FleetSync?? for Short/Long Text Messaging.

AVAILABLE SOFTWARE (OPT.)

ZVEI-Digital signalling and a voting function that utilizes the signalling can be added as optional software.

VOICE GUIDE & STORAGE* (OPT.)

This innovative Kenwood option makes several functions possible. ??????Voice Guide?????? announces channel, zone, feature activation/ deactivation, etc. in a clear synthesised voice. ??????Voice Storage?????? records up to 300 seconds of receive audio for missed calls or your own voice for memo recording. It also has an ??????Auto-Reply?????? greeting and can record voice messages for unattended radios while away from the radio or while in a meeting (the calling unit must send a FleetSync?? selective call for activation).

* Announcement only available in English.

EASY OPTION PORT (26-PIN)

Kenwood???s plug-in option port enables installation of the external boards such as the VGS-1 Voice Guide and Storage Unit quick and simple.

REAL-TIME CLOCK FOR TIME STAMPING

A new Kenwood feature, this real- time clock can be used for basic time-stamping.

LONE WORKER

This ingenious feature provides an extra layer of security and safety for individuals who work remotely as well as for those who work in hazardous areas. As long as the buttons are pressed regularly, the radio operates normally; however, if there is a long lapse (programmable), it will sound an alert. In the absence of further response from the user, the TK-2180/3180 will place an emergency call to a pre-determined person or group of people.

TRANSPARENT DATA MODE

Kenwood???s Transparent Data mode works in combination with FleetSync?? to enable full character transparency for exchanging data with a transceiver linked to a PC or peripheral equipment. This can be used for remote control and remote maintenance of status monitoring, etc.
