INTRODUCTION
he ST-865KW2 is a microprocessor based radio trunking logic board
T
designed for use with Kenwood TK-270/278/370/378 Portable Radios. The
ST-865KW2 implements SmarTrunk II, an efficient radio channel allocation
protocol. The ST-865KW2 controls all radio functions. In combination with the
ST-852/ST-853 SmarTrunk II Digital Trunking Controller, this is a complete
multichannel digital access radio trunking system.
The ST-852/ST-853 is the heart of the SmarTrunk II system. Programming and
operation is performed by the System Operator/Manager. Many of the
programmable features of the ST-865KW2 require information unique to a
specific system. These system specifics can only be obtained from the System
Operator/Manager.
This instruction manual describes user operation, dealer programming, and
dealer installation of the ST-865KW2. Please read the entire manual before
proceeding so that you can take advantage of all the advanced features.
♦ Store and send dialing
♦ 10 number memory speed dial (user programmable)
♦ Last number re-dial
♦ Different ringing tones to distinguish the type of call
♦ Channel clear alerting tells the subscriber when a channel is
available
♦ Ten levels of priority call override
♦ Two trunking modes: radiotelephone and fleet dispatch
♦ Conventional operation
♦ Faster channel access time
♦ Automatic mobile acknowledge eliminates wasted air time
♦ Five digit security code for dealer programming
♦ Remote Radio Kill™ to disable illegal and non-paying customers
The last section of this manual describes the installation procedure for the
radios. It is important that the installer also read the programming section.
Necessary adjustments are accessible through the programming mode.

1 • OPERATION
ubscribers already familiar with the original SmarTrunk system will find the
S
SmarTrunk II digital system just as easy to use. There are also many
additional features and enhancements.
The ST-865KW2 begins trunking operation as soon as the radio is powered on.
Channel selection, transmit control, receiver audio, and other radio functions are
all under the control of the ST-865KW2. Radio channel access is tightly
controlled. Unauthorized transmission and monitoring of trunking channels is
not possible.
A number of different alerting sounds are generated during keypad operation. A
short chirp is generated each time a key is pressed. A high frequency beep
indicates a successful keypad entry sequence. A low frequency beep indicates
that improper data has been entered. Three long low frequency beeps indicates
all channels are busy or improper keypad operation. DTMF tones are heard
during DTMF overdialing.
1.1 Landline To Subscriber Call
When the ST-852/ST-853 is called from a telephone system, it answers
the telephone line with two beeps. The caller then dials the subscriber ID
number of the subscriber or group that they are trying to call.
If the subscriber ID number is valid, the ST-852/ST-853 attempts to reach
the subscriber over the air. If the subscriber ID number is for a
radiotelephone subscriber that is powered off or is out of the operating
area, the caller will hear a busy signal. If the subscriber is powered on
and is in the operating area the caller will hear ring back and the
ST-865KW2 will start ringing. The subscriber answers the call by pressing
* without PTT.
If the subscriber does not answer within the mobile answer time
(programmable), the caller will get a busy signal for a few seconds and
then the ST-852/ST-853 will hang up. If the subscriber does answer, the
caller will hear two beeps and can then begin talking.
If the subscriber ID number is for a group, the caller will hear one ring
followed by two beeps. The caller can then begin talking.

1.2 Receiving A Call
The subscriber is alerted to an incoming call by ringing of the subscriber
equipment. This alerting takes four forms, related to the type of incoming
call.
a. A long single high frequency ring is generated by the logic board,
then a low frequency dual tone ring is generated by the controller.
This indicates an incoming landline call.
b. A short double high frequency ring is generated by the logic board,
then a low frequency dual tone ring is generated by the controller.
This indicates an incoming call from another SmarTrunk II radio
subscriber.
c. A short single high frequency ring is generated by the logic board,
then a double beep is generated by the controller. This indicates a
manually dialed group call.
d. A short single high frequency ring is generated in the calling
radios logic board, then a double beep is generated by the
controller. This indicates a (PTT) dispatch group call.
For items a and b, the subscriber must press * on the DTMF keypad to
answer the incoming call (Push-to-talk (PTT) is not pressed). For items c
and d, the subscriber may communicate with other members of the group
by pressing PTT (no answer action is required).
1.3 Call Routing Codes For Subscriber Initiated
Calls
Call routing codes are used for initiating a call from a subscriber to the
appropriate destination. Call routing codes are commonplace in PBX
telephone systems. For example, to place a call to an outside telephone
line through a PBX, a call routing code of typically 0 or 9 must be dialed
first. The SmarTrunk II system operates in a similar fashion, however,
the call routing code is placed at the end of the calling sequence.

1 • Operation
The following table describes all the call routing codes. The subscriber
needs to be familiar only with the call routing codes that apply to their
application.
Table 1-1 Call Routing Codes
Routing Code Destination
1 Subscriber to Landline 1
2 Subscriber to Landline 2
3 Subscriber to Subscriber
4 Fleet-Dispatch I Group Call
9 Mobile Operator
0 Emergency

1.3.1 Subscriber To Landline Call
Routing codes 1 and 2 give the subscriber access to telephone line one or two respectively. A subscriber may be
restricted from line 2, or there may not be two telephone
lines connected to the ST-852/ST-853. In this case, routing
code 2 is not valid.
1.3.2 Subscriber to Subscriber Call
Routing code 3 allows the subscriber to place a call to another subscriber or group of subscribers. The call is routed
through the ST-852/ST-853 and does not use the telephone
system.
1.3.3 Fleet Dispatch (Subscriber) to Group Call
Routing code 4 allows the subscriber to place a call to the
subscriber’s own group. This functions as though the
subscriber had used routing code 3 with the ID number of
the subscriber’s own group.
1.3.4 Mobile Operator Call
10
Routing code 9 calls the subscriber that is preprogrammed
as the Mobile Operator. This functions as though the
subscriber had used routing code 3 with the subscriber ID
number of the Mobile Operator. The Mobile Operator is
programmed by the System Operator/Manager. See the ST-
853 SmarTrunk II Digital Trunking Controller manual for
details on programming the Mobile operator number.
1.3.5 Emergency Call
Routing code 0 causes the ST-852/ST-853 to access line 1
and dial the preprogrammed emergency phone number. The
emergency phone number is programmed by the System
Operator/Manager. See the ST-853 SmarTrunk II Digital
Trunking Controller manual for details on programming
the emergency number.
1.4 Conventional Mode
The TK-270/278/370/378 radios provide a conventional operating mode
in addition to the SmarTrunk mode. The conventional mode allows
standard two-way radio operation on a bank of channels which are separate
from the trunked bank of channels. The conventional bank of channels
may be programmed as simply talk-around frequencies or as repeater
channels for use on a conventional community repeater system. (See the
Kenwood radio service manual for radio channel programming details).
To change the radio operation from trunked to conventional, or from
conventional to trunked, perform the following.
1. Turn the radio off.
2. Press and hold the radio monitor button. (The monitor button is
located just below the PTT switch on the left side of the radio).
3. While holding the monitor button down, turn the radio on and
release the monitor button after 3 seconds.
4. Observe the radio display. If the channel number is continuously
changing, the radio is set to SmarTrunk mode. If the channel
number is steady, the radio is set to conventional mode.
1 • Operation
1.5 Originating A Call
This section describes the advanced SmarTrunk II dialing methods. Dialing
has an automatic five second time-out. If the time between pressing keys
in a dialing sequence exceeds five seconds, the ST-865KW2 times out. A
low frequency beep will be heard and the dialing procedure must be
restarted. To clear out previously entered data and restart dialing, press
the # key.
A busy tone will be heard by the subscriber if connection is not possible.
This can occur if a radio channel is not available, or if the subscriber is
out of range. The subscriber must then retry the call at a later time, when
within range and a radio channel is available.
