One Radio Multi-Protocol

Customize at Will
The NX-3000 Series offers future-proof flexibility with support for both NXDN and DMR digital protocols as well as FM analog – all in a single radio. The desired digital protocol may be selected, giving you the freedom to migrate to digital or expand your digital environment.

NXDN Digital Protocol
NXDN supports both channel bandwidths of 12.5 kHz and 6.25 kHz bandwidth using FDMA technology. NXDN provides excellent spectrum efficiency, wide coverage and scalability. NXDN Type-C Trunking and Gen2 Trunking offer flexibility and performance, including the ability to link to more than 1,000 sites.

DMR Digital Protocol
DMR is a great choice for a simple, cost-effective system where capacity is required. Thanks to 2-slot TDMA, DMR offers 2 talk paths within 12.5 kHz bandwidth, effectively doubling the capacity for a single license and/or repeater.

FM Analog
FM analog protocol is offered in 25 kHz*1 and narrow 12.5 kHz channel spacing. Conventional and LTR systems are available, with QT/DQT, DTMF, 2-tone,
MDC-1200, and FleetSync® signaling.

1 Some limitations apply in certain regions when configuring wide channel spacing.

Clear and Confident

Active Noise Reduction (ANR)
KENWOOD’s ANR can discriminate between voice and noise, making full use of DSP to eliminate ambient noise so that the caller appears to be talking in a noiseless environment. Even more advanced digital noise reduction is offered in KENWOOD microphones, such as the optional Speaker Microphone KMC-54WD with its dual-mic system designed to work with portable models featuring the 14-pin Universal Connector.

Audio Optimization
Audio processing may be customized by the adjustment of the TX/RX audio equalizer, auto gain control, and the audio profile using ANR. Noise reduction can be set to switch off automatically when the background noise level is sufficiently low that it doesn’t impact communications; this Low Noise Level Adjustment function ensures there will be no deterioration in audio quality in these situations.

Auto Recording
When receiving a call there is a chance you could miss a name, number or other key information. In such cases, Auto Recording is handy as it records and plays back past conversations.

Voice Prompts
A voice announcement will keep you informed of a newly selected zone/channel, function and when a PF button is pressed, as well as reception status. Announcements are made in any one of the 11 languages, configured in the subscriber unit. Among several user-programmable functions is the ability to prerecord any phrase and add it to the built-in Voice Announcement Library for guidance. Voice guidance includes zone/channel name, button function on/off status, transceiver status, and other phrases registered with the status list.

Location Hands-free

Integrated GPS for Location Management
Thanks to an integrated GPS receiver/antenna, the current location of the radio can be sent to a recipient. Positional data enables effective management when used with applications like KAS-20 AVL & Dispatch Software. GPS data acquired at set time intervals can be stored in the radio’s memory.

Bluetooth®
Bluetooth is a means of wireless transfer of audio and data between two Bluetooth-compatible devices. The NX-3000 supports Bluetooth Headset Profile (HSP), which can be used to pair the radio and a Bluetooth-compatible headset to initiate a voice call. The radio is also compatible with Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) to enable communication with peripheral devices for various applications.

Text Messaging
The NX-3000 Series is capable of sending/receiving text messages when using the either digital protocol. These can be simple canned status messages (confirming receipt, etc.) or short text messages (ideal for relaying addresses and phone numbers). FM analog can also be used.

Over-the-Air Programming (OTAP) and Over-the-Air Alias (OAA)
OTAP allows the simultaneous writing of configuration data to subscriber units in NXDN mode using wireless communications, which is updated remotely from a base station. Exclusive to NXDN, this convenient function can be performed by installing OTAP Manager Software KPG-180AP to a PC, which transfers the configuration to the base station transceiver to distribute the data. OAA is another convenient feature available in NXDN Conventional and trunking systems that displays the caller ID on the radio display even if the ID is not configured for display. This feature is especially handy when you are roaming and new subscriber units from the system in service are temporarily added.

Secure Radio Safe Staff

Maintaining Confidentiality
Hearing clearly is essential. But you don’t want your conversation to be heard by others. KENWOOD offers optional 56-bit DES encryption, advanced 256-bit AES encryption*2 for both digital protocols and 40-bit ARC4 encryption for DMR.

2 Availability of AES encryption may vary depending on the region.

Tough & Robust
All KENWOOD radios go through stringent tests including drop, immersion, splash, keypunch, extreme temperature, dust, and heavy rain to simulate the harshest operating conditions experienced in a variety of applications. The portable radios also meet international ingress protection standards, including IP54, IP55, and IP67. The mobile radios feature IP54 protection. Also, all radios meet the MIL-STD 810 C to G standards set by the U.S. Department of Defense.*3

3 Accessory connectors must be covered.

Detecting the Status of Remote Workers
When you have staff working alone or in remote locations, it can be very important to know how they are doing. NX-3000 Series features a set of functions that help to protect the worker’s safety.

Emergency Button:
The Prominent orange button on the portable radios can be used by a worker to signal an emergency. This function can be assigned to other buttons, including the speaker microphone’s PF button for portables, and the AUX button for both portables and mobiles.

Lone Worker:
If a radio is set to Lone Worker mode and not operated for a set period of time, a 2-beep tone is emitted to alert the user. If the user does not respond, then it automatically triggers Emergency Mode to notify the base station.

Activity Detection:
Three functions will trigger Emergency Mode: Man-down Detection, when the radio tilts to one side; Stationary Detection, when the radio is left stationary for a length of time; and Motion Detection, which detects abnormal movement for a prolonged period.

Conventional and Trunking Systems

Conventional and Trunking Systems Compatible with the NX-3000 Series
