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.
