TK-2180/3180
VHF/UHF FM Portable Radios
Meets the next generation in professional handheld communications
Kenwood’s TK-2180/3180 defines a bold new standard for portable radio
performance, scoring high marks for operating ease, versatility and reliability.
WIDE BAND OPERATION
The TK-2180/3180 models feature wide band
UHF (70 MHz) and VHF (38 MHz) coverage in
one radio model.
EXTRA LARGE CHANNEL CAPACITY
The large 512 channel / 128 zone capability*
accommodates virtually any current or future
capacity requirement.
*Maximum capacity notes
128 Conventional Zones cumulative maximum per radio
512 Conventional Channels cumulative maximum per
radio
250 Channels maximum per any Conventional Zone
DOT MATRIX DISPLAY
The backlighting and
high-resolution dot
matrix 12-character
alphanumeric display
provides easy-to-read channel aliases day
or night. Also a 3-digit sub-display for
zone/channel numbers and icons for
function/status indicators make for intuitive
operation. The display can be dealer
customised for indication in languages
other than English.
KENWOOD ‘‘K’’LARITY —
ENHANCED AUDIO
Kenwood utilizes its long standing audio
heritage to optimize voice frequency
components so that the audio output cuts
through typical ambient noise. This
enhancement and the companded noise
reduction provide clarity and low distortion.
VOICE INVERSION SCRAMBLER
The built-in voice inversion scrambler provides
basic communications protection against
casual eavesdropping.
VOX READY
The TK-2180/3180 offers convenient
hands-free operation with a compatible
headset. The TK-2180/3180 internal VOX
(voice-operated transmission) circuitry
provides automatic PTT and a 10-level
sensitivity adjustment for different ambient
noise levels.
EETS/EXCEEDS MIL-STD
M
BLOWING RAIN & IP54/55
NEW CONCEPT DESIGN
Kenwood employed premium industrial
design concepts to make the TK-2180/3180
portables functionally practical, rugged and
an attractive piece of equipment to carry.
The TK-2180/3180 is built to survive
the hard knocks, drops and harsh
weather environments of its users.
It meets or exceeds the stringent
IP54/55 dust and water
protection standards and the
MIL-STD 810 C, D, E & F
environmental standards
including the demanding
“blowing rain” test.
Outstanding Features
TK-2180/3180
VHF/UHF FM Portable Radios
FleetSync®& FleetSync®II
Kenwood’s FleetSync®digital signalling system includes PTT ID
digital ANI for instant radio call identification and Emergency
status for personnel safety. FleetSync also includes status
messaging, selective calling and short/long text dispatch
messaging features. The TK-2180/3180 supports either original
®
FleetSync
or FleetSync®II*.
* FleetSync and FleetSync II are incompatible.
DUAL PRIORITY & VARIOUS SCANNING FUNCTIONS
Dual-Priority Scan automatically checks two important channels
for activity while channel scanning. Also, each radio can be
programmed to scan any organization of channels and talk groups
using the many programmable scan features and parameters.
5-TONE SIGNALLING
In addition to FleetSync®, the TK-2180/3180 includes the industry
standard signalling formats: QT/DQT, DTMF and 5-tone. In
particular, 5-tone signalling has been significantly enhanced for
greater flexibility, and current users of this format will welcome
®
the fact that it can be used in combination with FleetSync
for
Short/Long Text Messaging.
AVAILABLE SOFTWARE (OPT.)
ZVEI-Digital signalling and a voting function that utilizes the
signalling can be added as optional software.
VOICE GUIDE & STORAGE* (OPT.)
This innovative Kenwood option makes several functions possible.
‘‘Voice Guide’’ announces channel, zone, feature activation/
deactivation, etc. in a clear synthesised voice. ‘‘Voice Storage’’
records up to 300 seconds of receive audio for missed calls or
your own voice for memo recording. It also has an ‘‘Auto-Reply’’
greeting and can record voice messages for unattended radios
while away from the radio or while in a meeting (the calling unit
must send a FleetSync
®
selective call for activation).
* Announcement only available in English.
REAL-TIME CLOCK FOR TIME STAMPING
A new Kenwood feature, this realtime clock can be used for basic
time-stamping.
LONE WORKER
This ingenious feature provides an extra layer of security and
safety for individuals who work remotely as well as for those
who work in hazardous areas. As long as the buttons are
pressed regularly, the radio operates normally; however, if there
is a long lapse (programmable), it will sound an alert. In the
absence of further response from the user, the TK-2180/3180
will place an emergency call to a pre-determined person or
group of people.
TRANSPARENT DATA MODE
Kenwood’s Transparent Data mode works in combination with
FleetSync
data with a transceiver linked to a PC or peripheral equipment.
This can be used for remote control and remote maintenance of
status monitoring, etc.
®
to enable full character transparency for exchanging
