The Kenwood TK-380 Multi-Mode wireless radios operate on multiple systems types: conventional, trunking, wide or narrow bandwidth. The Kenwood TK-380 Conventional Mode offers traditional two-way conventional repeater and simplex operations. The Trunked Mode allows operation on both conventional and LTR trunking systems.
 

Main Features:
 

Large channel capacity. The TK-380 has the 600-channel capacity in Trunked Mode and the 250-channel capacity in Conventional Mode. The unit dynamically allocates the 32 system and 250-group memory capacity as system parameters are programmed. Each programmed system can be set for either conventional or trunked operation.

Alphanumeric two-way paging (available soon). Radios have the alphanumeric two-way messaging which provides the built-in capability to send and receive pre-stored alphanumeric text messages. Each unit has an electronic serial number for message sender identification.

Programmable function keys allow the unit to be customized to fit user needs. Sophisticated feature sets are available for special applications and supervisory personnel.

Wide-band coverage. The TK-380 can be programmed for wide or narrow bandwidth operation per channel to accommodate all channel allocations for local, regional and statewide frequency needs now and in the future.

Flash memory, PC programming and tuning permit updates, advanced feature sets and system architectural changes to be made via the universal accessory connector from a PC-compatible computer without ever having to open the radio to save both time and expense (KPG-49D software and KPG-36 cable options required). Radios have the programming password protection to prevent unauthorized access.

High-Quality audio output. The TK-380 is equipped with an extra-large 1.58-inch speaker with a half-watt of audio power and has the compandor noise-reduction programmable feature.

 MIL-STD 810 C/D/E Environmental tests.  Kenwood TK-380 meets or exceeds a full range of tough U.S. Department of Defense MIL-STD 810 C, D & E environmental standards in categories such vibration, shock, humidity, dust, temperature and atmospheric pressure and meets the demanding MIL-STD "driven rain" standard which guarantees water-resistant performance even in wet weather.

 Die-cast aluminum chassis contributes to the TK-280/380 units' rigid strength while providing natural transmit heat dissipation. Forming an integral part of the chassis is the super-tough textured polycarbonate case that provides years of reliable use and long-lasting appearance. The universal accessory connector and battery contacts use spring action gold-alloy elements for excellent contact, conductivity and anti-corrosive properties.

Dot matrix liquid crystal display with light control furnishes the user with a simple easy-to-read interface and is recessed for protection. The main display line has ten alphanumeric characters for system/group/channel name aliases and two characters for operational/ status indications. A three-character sub-line can be programmed for channel or group number. The seven icons provide easy to remember feature and status indications in all modes of operation.

Scanning and signaling functions. System scan and group scan permit monitoring multiple systems and talk groups for calls. DTMF keypad provides selective calling, system access, remote control applications and access to automatic dialing features such as the auto-dial memory for telephone interconnect or integrated Radio-PABX systems.

Key lock. A programmable key can be assigned to lock the other radio key/control functions. Vital functions such as PTT and Emergency are still available in locked mode.

Encription control provides secure voice communications for law enforcement or private security with both automatic and manual control for clear and coded modes. It provides voice scrambling from low-level inversion to high-level encryption types.

Radio lock password prevents unauthorized use of lost or stolen portables with an access code to be entered every time the radio is powered up.
