VERSATILITY
TRUNKED FORMAT
Trunked Format provides both programmable LTR� trunked and conventional
system partitions within the radio for operation on multiple systems. LTR�
trunking systems automatically provide communications on any available
channel within a pool of channels on each system.
The Kenwood TK-480/481 features all traditional LTR� trunking functions such
as System Scan & Group Scan for multiple system/multiple talk group calling,
Fixed Priority IDs, Transmit Inhibit and a Decode ID Block for dispatcher
fleet control and monitoring.
Conventional system partitions are programmable for multiple channels.
Priority Scan permits scanning of all channels and monitoring a priority
channel for activity even while receiving a call on another non-priority
channel.�
� In Trunked Format, priority scanning is only
available within one conventional system Partition and it cannot
check channels on other programmed conventional or trunked system
partitions.
LARGE CHANNEL CAPACITY
The TK-480/481 answers the call for large systems, multiple systems and
growing fleet sizes with the large-capacity 32 Systems/250 Group IDs�.
� Trunked
Format: Total system and group memory
capacity will vary depending on the total number of systems, groups and
repeater channels used per system. Maximums are: 32 systems / 250 groups per
system / 600 channels total when set in conventional system.
MULTIPLE SCAN FUNCTIONS
Trunked format operation offers system and group scan to permit
monitoring of calls on multiple systems and multiple talk groups per system.
Priority scanning is available within programmed conventional systems.
DTMF SIGNALING & DIALING FEATURES

DTMF keypad formats allow manual DTMF encoding for selective calling,
system access, remote control applications and access to automatic dialing
features such as the auto-dial memory for telephone interconnect and/or
integrated radio-PABX systems.
FleetSync� DIGITAL MESSAGING & SIGNALING "BASIC"
The FleetSync� "Basic" feature set is included in each radio providing a
cost-effective fleet unit identification, selective calling and messaging
system for dispatch operations3. Each radio can have an ID comprised of a
Fleet and Unit number which is used for all FleetSync� signaling and data
messaging (250 fleets/4000 units per fleet), allowing large fleets or
multiple fleets to share the same radio system(s).
PTT ID is a digital ANI (Automatic Number Identifier), which can be
sent on each PTT using the FleetSync� ID. An associated alphanumeric user
name can be displayed on an 80-Series base mobile LCD (Caller ID* enabled),
a base station decoder unit or dispatch software. Personnel are clearly
identified during mission critical tasks so the dispatcher/supervisor can
immediately identify who is talking for efficient fleet management and call
processing.
Caller ID* decodes an incoming PTT ID and uses the pre- stored ID
List with alphanumeric name tags to identify the caller in the radio's LCD.
This is available for fleet portables and mobiles as well as base stations.
Caller ID Stack* stores (in volatile memory) the three most recently
received PTT IDs for recall and review, allowing a user to check for missed
voice calls.
Extended ID List Capacity (100*) allows a base station radio to
select up to 100 target fleet radios by nametag to send FleetSync� Selective
Calls and Status Messages. Fleet radios can display up to 100 caller
names upon decoding PTT ID's, (Caller ID enabled), Selective Calls, Status
and Text Messages.
Extended Status Message List (50*) provides up to 50 pre- stored
sixteen-character alphanumeric messages permitting a base to send a larger
variety of job task messages. Fleet radios can display and respond
accordingly with complimentary acknowledgements. Also, special reserved
Emergency, Emergency Man-down*, Emergency Mode Off *, Horn Alert (mobiles)*
and Radio Stun/Acknowledge/Resurrect statuses are provided.
, FleetSync� "Basic" dispatch features are available using just 80-Series
mobile/portable fleet radios and an 80-Series mobile base/control station.
More advanced FleetSync� dispatch systems may require the FleetSync�
Enhanced option and FleetSync�-compatible peripherals and/or software.
FleetSync� DIGITAL MESSAGING & SIGNALING "ENHANCED OPTION"
The FleetSync� Enhanced option extends the FleetSync� Basic feature set
to include custom Short Text Messaging, Long Text Messaging (mobiles) and
80-Series PC Serial Interface (mobiles) capability.
Short Text Messaging permits fleet
radios to receive, store, review and display up to four 48-character text
messages (requires compatible base dispatch software)4. Fleets can be sent
detailed custom text messages, thereby increasing fleet efficiency and
productivity even while unattended.
Long Text Messaging enables 1024-character text messages to be sent
for advanced dispatch calls and job tasking requirements, giving companion
80-Series fleet mobiles extended data messaging capabilities (requires a
compatible mobile data device and dispatch software).
PC Serial Interface enables
serial communications between an 80-Series mobile radio and a FleetSync�
compatible peripheral device or computer application for an advanced
FleetSync� communications system.
4. Short Text Messaging (both portables
and mobiles) requires the base station mobile to be interfaced with a
computer running FleetSync�-compatible dispatch software.
PERFORMANCE
IMPRESSIVE SPECIFICATIONS/WORLD-CLASS OPERATION
High-stability oscillators, an
efficient MOS-FET power module and advanced filtering are just some of the
features that give the TK-4S0/4S1 both the performance and power to be a key
component of any well-designed radio system.
COMPANDED AUDIO (Both TK-480 & TK-481)
Audio compandor noise-reduction technology enhances audio clarity on
radio systems. Voice intelligence components are amplified and compressed at
the transmit end then expanded on the receive end to reproduce the original
audio signal.
INTRINSICALLY SAFE ENVIRONMENTS
For reassuring performance in hazardous and volatile environments,
Kenwood offers options and accessories meeting the highest level of
intrinsically safe specifications.
ENCRYPTION CONTROL
Encryption control provides secure voice communications for law
enforcement or private security. An internal port permits addition of
modules for voice scrambling from low- level inversion scrambling to
high-level encryption types. The radio's programming also allows both
automatic and manual control for clear and coded modes. (Encryption/
scrambler modules and ANI modules cannot be installed in the same radio)
DIGITAL ANI &
EMERGENCY OPTIONS
FleetSync� offers built-in digital PTT ID, Emergency and Emergency
Man-down Status messages. Optionally, an internal port permits addition of
modules offering other industry ANI formats with PTT ID, emergency ANI and
emergency man-down operation (GE-Star� and MDC-1200�). The recessed orange
PF key and/or an optional tilt switch can be used to trigger an emergency
thus notifying a dispatcher or supervisor of personnel in trouble. (ANI
modules and encryption/ scrambler modules cannot be installed in the same
radio).
DTMF ANI & EMERGENCY
DTMF PTT ID provides an ANI for business and industrial applications
using DTMF type systems. DTMF Emergency ANI is also programmable to enhance
personnel safety (PTT ID and Emergency are available in conventional or
trunked operation).
EMBEDDED MESSAGE
The radio's flash memory can store an electronic message containing
owner identification, property ID numbers, user and department names,
service records, etc. to make electronic identification easy even if
external labels, markings or factory serial numbers have been removed.
