Kenwood tk-270G vhf radio


The battery pack forming the entire back of the unit and the transceiver components forming the front, is a fresh departure from the conventional stacked design. This approach results in a stronger chassis and a single PCB, and improves the overall styling and appearance of the radio.
The TK-270G/370G are manufactured along Kenwood's demanding technical and industrial standards, meeting or exceeding the tough environmental standards used by the U.S. Department of Defense. These radios pass U.S. MIL-STD 810 C/D/E standards covering shock, vibration, humidity, dust, and rain, for reliable performance in even the toughest conditions.
DIE-CAST CHASSIS AND POLYCARBONATE CASE
The monocoque aluminum die-cast chassis-heat sink borrows a principal from aircraft construction for rigid strength. Surrounding this and forming an integral part of the chassis, is the super-tough polycarbonate case to provide years of durability. The heavy-duty belt clip and antenna mount are also integrated into the chassis for strengthened unit construction.
Integrated elements like gasket seals and the polyvinyl speaker cone prevent moisture penetration for confident wet weather use.
A premium radio design like the TK-270G/370G portables use stateof- the art surface mount technology, multiple layer epoxy PC boards, high-level integrated circuits and hybrid components to create a symphony of compact, rugged and power-efficient performance.
The compandor noise-reduction feature enhances audio clarity on narrow bandwidth systems and is programmable per channel. Voice intelligence components are amplified and compressed at the transmit end then re-expanded on the receive end to reproduce the original audio signal.
The antenna is industry-standard SMA connector provides improved mechanical and electrical performance.
A large 1-3/8 inch speaker provides 500 mW audio output. This enables the user to hear transmissions clearly even in the noisiest environments.
A premium radio product must be easy to setup, use and maintain. The TK-270G/370G is a perfect example of this philosophy as it combines user-friendly ergonomics in a lightweight and well balanced package.
The 8-character display panel provides quick recognition of operating status and present settings with alphanumeric and icon characters. For enhanced nighttime viewing, pressing the backlight key illuminates the LCD display and keypad, and if no other keys are operated, backlighting shut offs after 5 seconds.
Lockout further improves channel management by preventing transmission if another talk group is already on the air.
BUILT-IN 2-TONE DECODER AND ENCODER
The decoder and encoder functions offer a 2-tone paging code assignable to any channel. An incoming message is signaled with audible and visible alerts.
Notifies you as to whether the call received had DTMF or 2-tone signaling.
Transmits a code telling the caller that your radio received their DTMF paging signal.
For improved response when using combinations of signaling systems, squelch is opened when either one, or all, signal requirements are met.
Convenient dialing functions include Manual Dial, Auto-Dial, Redial and Store & Send (display shows the input DTMF code before it is sent).
The two-color LED provides traditional transmit/warning (red), receive (green), and alert (orange) visual indications. This LED is recessed to limit omni-directional visibility to everyone except the radio operator.
A premium radio like the TK-270G/370G must be flexible enough to answer any application and offer the room to expand as system or user needs grow.
Flash memory permits updates, advanced feature sets and system architectural changes to be made electronically without ever opening the unit. This means fast changes for the system operator and less down time for users.
Cloning enables duplication of radios in the field via a simple interface cable without the use of a PC or special equipment.
The TK-270G/370G can be programmed for wide or narrow bandwidth operation per channel to accommodate all channel allocations now and in the future.
128-channel capacity (semi-duplex) ensures plenty of room for applications today and tomorrow. And once programmed, users can select specific channels within the set range.
Radio parameter programming and tuning can be accomplished via the accessory connector from a PC-compatible computer without ever having to open the radio to save both time and expense (requires optional programming cable and software).
Programmable power levels provide one of two settings (High/ Low) for each of the channels so the radio can be tailored for mixed transmit range requirements. Output levels can be programmed at 5W/1W on VHF and 4W/1W on UHF.
Two types of ANI \ PTT ID (per channel) and DIAL ID \ send connect and disconnect ID information. Repeater/RIC access is enabled through key operation or ID transmit with PTT set to On.
Useful when functions of the radio need to be rendered unusable, reception of a pre-determined DTMF signal can either disable the units signal transmission, or prohibit signal transmission, while muting signal reception volume.
The radios flash memory can store an electronic message containing owner identification, property I.D. numbers, user and department names, service records, etc. A radio can be electronically identified even if external labels, markings or factory serial numbers have been removed.
