By Bestbuy.comKenwood - ProTalk 5-Watt 64-Channel Digital NXDN or Analog UHF 2-Way Radio, NX-P1300NUK - Black
The KENWOOD ProTalk NX-P1300NUK is a 5-watt, 64-channel 4 zones with 16 channels per zone) UHF portable 2-way radio that allows the combination of analog and digital channels in the same zone. This gives you the ability to easily migrate to digital at your own pace or operate more effectively in a mixed environment where groups of users have different needs or solutions. It employs NXDN, an FDMA digital air interface with AMBE+2 voice coding technology, with forward error correction and unique filtering to obtain superior coverage even at weak RF signal strengths. As RF signal strength weakens with distance, analog reception becomes increasingly noisy. NXDN digital modulation technology improves audio recovery in fringe areas, thereby “effectively” increasing the usable coverage compared to analog. It is also built to take rough treatment in stride, passing the demanding IP54/55 dust- and water-intrusion tests—both with and without the KMC-45 optional speaker microphone. It also meets or exceeds 11 stringent MIL-STD 810 C/D/E/F/G environmental standards, including “driven rain.” A large 7-color LED indicator on the top panel illuminates to notify multi-status functions. Confidentiality in radio communications is a KENWOOD priority, and helping to maintain a high level of security in analog mode is a 16-code voice inversion scrambler and a 15-bit encryption in digital mode. This walkie-talkie requires an FCC license, comes with an industry-leading 3-year warranty, and is DMR capable with license upgrade.
