Meet the Next Generation in Professional Handheld Communications
Kenwoods 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.

ENHANCED KENWOOD AUDIO

Kenwood utilizes its longstanding 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 especially on narrow bandwidth systems.

512 CHANNELS/128 ZONES

The large 512 channel/128 zone capability* accommodates virtually any current or future capacity requirement for single or multiple site radio systems. Maximum capacity notes*
128 Conventional & LTR Zones cumulative maximum per radio 512 Conventional Channels & Group IDs (GIDs)cumulative maximum per radio 250 Channels maximum per any Conventional Zone 250 GIDs maximum per any LTR Zone
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.
12 -CHARACTER 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/group ID numbers and icons for function/status indicators make for intuitive operation.

ROBUST & RELIABLE

The TK-2180/3180 is built to survive the hard knocks, drops and all weather environments of its users. It meets or exceeds the stringent IP54/55 dust and water intrusion standards and the MIL-STD 810 C, D, E & F environmental standards including the demanding driven rain test.

HANDHELD ELEGANCE

Kenwood employed premium industrial design concepts to make the TK-2180/3180 portables functionally practical, rugged and an attractive piece of equipment to carry.

OUTSTANDING FEATURES

CONVENTIONAL & LTR TRUNKING ZONES
The TK-2180/3180 operates on LTR trunking systems, conventional channels or any combination of both, facilitating mixed operation today or migration tomorrow.
VGS-1 VOICE GUIDE & STORAGE UNIT
This innovative Kenwood option makes several functions possible. Voice Guide announces zone, channel, groups and feature activation/deactivation in a clear synthesized voice. A great tool for radio communications training or as an aid for the sight or physically impaired. Voice Storage records up to 300 seconds of receive audio for missed calls or your own voice for memo recording. It also can transmit an Auto-Reply greeting and 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).

FleetSync & FleetSync II
Kenwoods FleetSync digital signaling 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.
EASY OPTION PORT DUAL PRIORITY & SCAN FEATURES
Dual-Priority Scan automatically checks two important channels for activity while channel scanning (conventional zones only). Also, each radio can be programmed to scan through any organization of channels, systems and talk groups using the many programmable scan features and parameters. Channel/GID Delete/Add, Nuisance Delete and Priority Temporary Delete provide relief from non-essential voice traffic when scanning multiple channels or trunked talk groups. Kenwoods plug-in option port makes the VGS-1 option and compatible after-market board installation quick and simple.

SIGNALING

The TK-2180/3180 includes industry standard signaling formats for the most common type radio systems. QT/DQT: Sub-audible QT tones and DQT digital codes provide industry standard talk group muting and segregation for conventional radio systems. DTMF: DTMF permits DTMF PTT ID, telephone interconnect operation, individual/group selective calling and remote radio disable/enable (remote stun). 2-Tone Selective Calling: Four code pairs each with individual and group page settings and audio visual alerts can be assigned per channel.
