TK-260G/360G

Compact Synthesized FM Portable Radios
Productivity takes a big leap forward thanks to the operating ease and versatility of Kenwoods TK-260G/360G. Along with reassuring quality, this rugged unit offers superior features such as companded audio, 5-tone signalling, and PTT unit ID. Kenwood. The manufacturer of premium radio products that you can count on.
MAXIMUM 8-CHANNEL CAPACITY
On-board memory stores frequency and configuration settings that can be programmed using a personal computer. The mechanical encoder utilizes a special pin for the setting of 2-, 4-, 6- or a maximum of 8-channel (default) capacity for customized performance.
BUILT-IN QT AND DQT SIGNALING
Encoder/decoder function segregates talk groups so users only hear calls from their own group.

PTT ID PER CHANNEL

PTT ID is programmable per channel and sends ANI automatically on every PTT (begin of transmit leading edge code and EOT trailing edge code are both independently programmable).
DIE-CAST CHASSIS AND POLYCARBONATE CASE
The monocoque aluminium 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 are to provide years of durability. The heavy-duty belt clip and antenna mount are also integrated into the chassis for strengthened unit construction.

HIGH OUTPUT AUDIO

A large 45 mm speaker provides 500 mW audio output. This enables the user to hear transmissions clearly even in the noisiest environments.

FLASH MEMORY ADVANTAGE

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.

WEATHER-RESISTANT

Integrated elements such as the gasket seals and the polyvinylene speaker help prevent moisture penetration. In fact, the TK-260G/ 360G meets the demanding IP54 and IP55 standards, which guarantees weatherresistant performance.
PC PROGRAMMING AND TUNING
Radio parameter programming and tuning can be accomplished via the accessory connector from an IBM-compatible computer without ever having to open the radio to save both time and expense (requires optional programming cable and software).

COMPANDED AUDIO

The compandor noise-reduction feature enhances audio clarity on narrow bandwidth systems and is programmable per channel.
ULTRA-HIGH CAPACITY NIMH BATTERY (OPTION)
KNB-20N, the ultra-high capacity NiMH battery (option) offers more than 10 hours of operation without charging. OTHER FEATURES MIL-STD 810 C/D/E BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT DEAD BEAT DISABLE (D.B.D) TRI-COLOUR LED TIME-OUT TIMER BATTERY POWER SAVE LOW BATTERY ALERT MONITOR EMBEDDED MESSAGE

5-TONE SIGNALLING

The built-in 5-tone encoder/decoder (singleframe-, 2-frame & 3-frame) is compatible with a wide variety of European signalling requirements EEA, EIA, CCIR, ZVEI, ZVEI-2, and the KENWOOD tone format.

The Next Generation in Pure Performance
Productivity takes a giant leap forward as performance enhancements in the TK-260G/360G deliver extra operating ease and versatility. Along with world-famous Kenwood quality, this rugged unit incorporates superior features such as multi-mode wide/narrow bandwidth (per channel), companded audio, and PTT unit ID (digital ANI option modules). When your operations need a boost that only a premium radio product can provide, the choice is obvious Kenwood.
Elements of a Premium Radio Product
STRENGTH & DURABILITY
Kenwoods facilities are proud to be internationally recognized as ISO-9001 certified and this means that our radio products follow a strict adherence to high standards in design, manufacturing and quality assurance. Whatever the requirement, the excellent performance and reliability of our communications equipment exemplified by the TK-260G/360G portables make Kenwood the premier choice.

MIL-STD 810 C/D/E The TK-260G/360G are manufactured along Kenwoods demanding technical and industrial standards, meeting or exceeding the tough environmental standards used by the U.S. Department of Defense. 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. WEATHER-RESISTANT Integrated elements like gasket seals and the polyvinyl speaker cone prevent moisture penetration for confident wet weather use.
HEAVY-DUTY ANTENNA MOUNT The antennas industry-standard SMA connector provides improved mechanical and electrical performance. HIGH OUTPUT AUDIO A large 1-3/4 inch speaker provides 500 mW audio output. This enables the user to hear transmissions clearly even in the noisiest environments.
FLASH MEMORY ADVANTAGE 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. WIDE/NARROW CHANNEL BANDWIDTH The TK-260G/360G can be programmed for wide or narrow bandwidth operation per channel to accommodate all channel allocations now and in the future. MAXIMUM 8-CHANNEL MEMORY On-board memory stores frequency and configuration settings that can be programmed using a personal computer. The mechanical encoder utilizes a special pin for the setting of 2-, 4-, 6- or a maximum of 8-channel (default) capacity for customized performance. PC PROGRAMMING AND TUNING 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). DTMF ANI FUNCTION A DTMF code can be encoded by two methods: "PTT ID" or "DIAL ID" operation. "PTT ID" the traditional DTMF ANI unit ID is programmable per channel and sends ANI automatically on every PTT (begin of transmit leading edge code and EOT trailing edge code are both independently programmable). Additionally, each channel can have its own unique DTMF ANI number to suit a variety of custom applications. Dial ID permits sending the DTMF ANI codes (BOT or EOT codes) manually via the front keypad for remote control or systemaccess applications. EMBEDDED MESSAGE 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. OTHER FEATURES TIME-OUT TIMER BATTERY POWER SAVE LOW BATTERY ALERT MONITOR/VOLUME SET BUSY LED CONTROL

EASY USER INTERFACE

A premium radio product must be easy to setup, use and maintain. The TK-260G/360G is a perfect example of this philosophy as it combines user-friendly ergonomics in a lightweight and wellbalanced package.
BUILT-IN QT AND DQT SIGNALING Encoder/decoder function segregates talk groups so users only hear calls from their own group. SIGNALING AND/OR LOGIC For improved response when using combinations of signaling systems, squelch is opened when either one, or all, signal requirements are met. BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT 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. TWO-COLOR LED 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.

PERFORMANCE

A premium radio design like the TK-260G/360G portables use state-of-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.
COMPANDED AUDIO 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.

VERSATILITY

A premium radio like the TK-260G/360G must be flexible enough to answer any application and offer the room to expand as system or user needs grow.
POWER OUTPUT SETTINGS High/Low settings can be input for each channel by your dealer. The TK-260G can be set for 5W/1W and the TK-360G for 4W/1W.
