ROBUST & RELIABLE
The TK-2170/3170 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. * MIL-STD/IPXX compatibility requires use of the terminal cover supplied with the SP-Mic.

PTT ID, SELCALL & EMERGENCY
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. Emergency Calling notifies a dispatcher of personnel in distress by activation of an orange colored emergency key.

QT/DQT, DTMF & 2-TONE SIGNALLING
In addition to FleetSync ®, the TK-2170/3170 includes industry standard signalling formats: QT/DQT, 2-Tone (encode/decode) can be utilized for talk groups, system access and selective calling. DTMF permits DTMF PTT ID, telephone interconnect operation, individual/group selective calling and remote radio disable/enable (remote stun).

SCAN
Multi-channel call monitoring can be customized for users with single/multi-zone scan and delete/add scan features. Priority Scan automatically checks a primary channel for activity while receiving a call on a non-priority channel. Convenience features such as Priority-channel Stop Tone, Temporary Delete, and Revert Channel Display facilitate user-friendly operation and eliminate confusion.

Key Benefits:

With licensed two-way radio:

• There are no call charges no matter how many calls you make!
• You get your own exclusive channel to avoid interference from other radio users
• Instant communication at the touch of a button
• Hand portables you will give you typical ranges of 5-6Km, less in built-up areas but greater ranges are also possible*
• You may add a base station to more than double the range of a hand portable radio

* range is mainly dependant on terrain, for example one clients mobile radio system provides 3 miles range in one direction (due to hills) and 40 miles range in another. Careful equipment selection and system engineering will significantly improve your range, please ask us for advice.

In addition to the benefits above Selcall enables a hand-held or vehicle mounted radio to possess the all the benefits of PMR radio plus many of the facilities found on a mobile phone and more, see the radios feature list for its unique selcall features.

Typical Applications (include but are not limited to):

Hotel & Hospitality
A PMR radio helps the medium to large establishment to improve communications, allowing you to respond faster to client’s requests and problems.

Garden Centres / Nurseries
Improve your customer services at the press of a button. Extended range for larger sites, robust and submersible units easily cope with UK weather, Charlie’s water feature, mud and dust.

Visitor Attractions
Keep in touch with your staff at the push of a button. Respond to technical and administrative issues efficiently. Increased range and security when compared to PMR446 radios.

Retail
At the touch of a button, you can check prices, find out if an item is in stock and locate a manager for assistance. Using licensed radios ensures you do not get interference from the shop next door or Johnny with his new walkie-talkie toy.

Education
In today's active learning establishments, playground supervisors, teachers, coaches and other administrators can stay connected with instant push-of-a-button communications. Due to their increased range PMR radios are particularly suited to larger establishments.

Sport / Event Management / Swimming Pools
Suitable for smaller events including Motorsport. A PMR radio is an extremely cost effective and secure way to communicate. Submersible radios are ideally suited to any humid environment including swimming pools where a standard radio will corrode with time.

Security
When an alarm signals, you don't have a moment to lose. PMR radios give you the up-to-the-minute and secure (using voice encryption equipped radios) communication you need to alert co-workers or request backup at the touch of a button.

Construction
A PMR radio is suited to larger sites that require a robust radio with a high volume output. A submersible radio provides unparalleled protection against UK weather, mud and dust.

Manufacturing
A heavy duty radio makes it easier for manufacturing workers and management to communicate often significantly reducing “down time” and improving efficiency.

Agriculture
Ideal for heavy duty, high noise applications including automated packing shed, in field machinery etc. Extended range to cover larger sites or difficult terrain. Robust and submersible units easily cope with UK weather, mud and dust.

Local Government
Ideal for long range communications for managers on the road etc. Robust and submersible units easily cope with UK weather, mud and dust.
