Introducing the new TK-D740V/D840U mobiles, launched together with the new TK-D240V/D340U portables and completing KENWOOD’s impressive DMR system line-up. Thanks to compliance with MIL-STD and IP54 environmental standards, they can be relied on through thick and thin. As well as handling both analog and digital communications, these user-friendly DMR radios can even operate in direct mode, without a repeater. They also offer KENWOOD Call Interrupt and also benefit in having KENWOOD enhanced audio quality. These truly resourceful team members will enable you to make the most of your legacy analog equipment while also benefitting from digital communications.
Belonging to the DMR Tier II category, which covers licensed conventional systems, these radios are specified for 2-slot Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) operation in 12.5 kHz channels. This means they can offer greater spectrum efficiency.
These DMR radios can operate in both digital and FM analog modes, switching automatically as needed. Interoperability with legacy analog radios allows organizations to migrate to full digital at their own pace.
Up to two simultaneous direct-mode subscriber calls can be supported in a 12.5 kHz channel, without requiring a repeater, thus doubling channel capacity.
In an emergency or whenever a user needs to interrupt a call, Call Interrupt is available in both direct and repeater modes, while encoding or decoding. Also featured are emergency functions to help protect staff in remote areas, etc.
These TK-D740V/D840U mobile radios conform to
MIL-STD C/D/E/F/G standards for ruggedness, and
are IP54 rated for dust & water protection, making
them more than capable of withstanding harsh
operating conditions.*
*Applies only when using a microphone KMC-35 or KMC-36.
The large 2-digit LED display provides a clear indication of which channel is being used, and the brightness level can be adjusted (high/low) to suit the time of day and ambient light conditions. The front panel also features 9 programmable function keys for enhanced operating ease.
The blue LED indicator can be customized to provide useful status information. For example, it can be used in combination with the orange LED for Selective Call differentiation.
A radio’s most important quality is clarity – being
able to hear, loud and clear, what the other party
is saying, and these mobiles deliver just that. For
instance, the AMBE+2™ VOCODER technology
accurately replicates natural human speech nuances
for superior voice quality, even with high levels of
ambient noise. Additionally, Voice Announcement
can confirm the channel number, so there is no
need to look at the display. English is the default
language, but Spanish and French are also
available*.
