NX-240_340 VHF/UHF Digital & FM Portable Radios

NEXEDGE® VHF/UHF Digital & FM Portable Radios NX-240/340

Your business will have to adopt digital radios sooner or later, you know that, but you probably wonder when to make the extra investment. A leap into the unknown? Not with the new NEXEDGE® NX-240/340. It operates in both analog FM and NXDN® digital modes, offering a cost-effective way to migrate smoothly from legacy systems while discovering the benefits of advanced digital technology – including increased effective coverage area, low noise for superior clarity, and inherent secured voice. All this comes in a tough, compact radio that is easy to operate, delivers high-powered audio, and ensures round-the-clock reliability. Don’t delay the opportunity to expand the potential of your business.

: NEXEDGE® radios employ NXDN®, an FDMA digital air interface with AMBE+2™ voice coding technology, unique filtering and a 4-level FSK modulation technique with low bit error rate (BER) even at weak RF signal strengths.

: AMBE+2™ VOCODER technology accurately replicates natural human speech nuances for superior voice quality, even at highway speeds. Additionally, the powerful 36mm-diameter speaker delivers up to 1 watt audio output, providing undeniably clearer and crisper audio.

: RF output power is 5W for both VHF (NX-240) and UHF (NX-340). Additionally, the UHF frequency coverage on the NX-340 is 70MHz.

: The slim contours and ergonomic design of the NX-240/340 make it comfortable to hold, while the dimples on both sides ensure a firm grip.

: The NX-240/340 can be used with two conventional zones, offering up to 16 channels per zone.

: The NX-240/340 is effectively two radios in one – analog and digital – operating on 12.5/25 kHz in analog zones, and on 6.25/12.5 kHz NXDN™ in digital zones. For convenience, a PF key can be used to switch between zones.

: Digital communications are more spectrum-efficient and offer wider area coverage than analog.

: The NX-240/340 supports the NXDN® Type-D digital trunking protocol. With this architecture, also known as distributed or decentralized trunking, all channels can operate as traffic channels without the need for a dedicated control channel. This makes it possible to develop an efficient and reliable yet affordable trunking system. Type-D trunking is thus suitable for users considering migration to a small-scale digital trunking system.

: Compatible with NEXEDGE® Digital Conventional Mode, this radio offers 64 RAN (Radio Access Numbers) and individual & conference group calling to ensure expeditious communications.

: Confidentiality in radio communications is a KENWOOD priority, and helping to maintain a high level of security in analog mode is a 16-code voice inversion scrambler, while robust NXDN® encryption is available in digital mode.

: The optional KMC-48GPS Speaker Microphone will enable GPS tracking applications to work with the NX-240/340. GPS data can be transmitted at programmed timing, or upon receiving a request.
