Tr u n k e d & C o n v e n t i o n a l C o m p a c t M o b i l e R a d i o Kenwood’s TK-863G — Move Your Operations into High Gear! The challenging commercial applications of today demand a high-quality radio that delivers reliable performance along with user-friendly operation. And the TK-863G stands ready to answer the call as Kenwood has packed a host of features into this rugged, compact unit like UHF trunking. A large lighted LCD display and the capacity to program up to 32 systems in either trunked or conventional modes are just some the advantages designed to handle your communications needs and make your work day productive. C ALL INDICATOR AND HORN ALERT The Call Indicator provides a visual alert that a call was received. The Horn Alert provides a trigger signal for activating a vehicle horn or light circuit that notifies a user of a call while away from the vehicle (additional devices required). MINIMUM VOLUME LEVEL The preset minimum volume level is automatic upon power up to help reduce missed call events due to a low volume setting of a previous user. MULTIPLE SCAN FUNCTIONS Systems Scan sequentially monitors multiple systems for calls. Group Scan monitors for LTR GID calls on the Trunked Systems and for QT/DQT/carrier calls with priority scanning capability within Conventional Systems. Talk back scan eliminates user confusion and errors by automatically switching the radio to the calling channel. Other scanning features that help to make scan operations easy to use and organize include off-hook scan, off- hook revert and system add/delete. HEAVY-DUTY MICROPHONE The supplied heavy-duty microphone has the weight and feel that experienced mobile users prefer. Its durable coil cord cable and modular connectors provide long-term reliability. An optional KMC-28A DTMF micro- phone is available for radiotelephone and DTMF selective call/control applications. TALK AROUND Talk Around bypasses a radio repeater system and permits direct radio-to-radio simplex communications. Ideal for close-proximity job-site use or when out of system range condi- tions exist (operates in both Trunked and Conventional modes). 32 SYSTEMS The TK-863G uses Kenwood’s Trunked Format that permits up to 32 systems, each of which can be programmed for either LTR® Trunked Mode or Conventional Mode of operation. L IGHTED LCD / 8-CHARACTER ALPHANUMERIC ALIAS DISPLAY The LCD display is clearly visible under any lighting condition from bright sunshine to total darkness. The high resolution 13-segment / 8-character alphanumeric display provides full operational and status information for multi-system/multi-group applications.

PC Programming and Tuning

Computer programming and alignment through the front panel microphone jack facilitates fast setup and adjustments even in the field. Data-ready Connection Port The TK-863G can be integrated as the RF link for mobile data devices such as data/status terminals, PC-modems or AVL units (requires optional KCT-19 cable). Programmable Auxiliary Switch The auxiliary switch can be programmed for functions including Horn Alert, Del/Add, Home System/Group, Option Signaling Reset and Manual Relay. Programmable Time-out Timer This convenient feature can be set to limit transmit time in 15-second steps, between a range of 15 seconds and 10 minutes. Airtime usage can be restricted separately for both dispatch and radiotelephone users. 25 Watts RF Power Output The TK-863G delivers a full urbanized 25 watts and operates in all UHF bands. Rugged Construction Elements such as the die-cast chassis, heat-sink, and rigid glass epoxy circuit boards, are key factors for meeting the MIL-STD 810 C/D/E/F environmental specifications for shock, vibration and dust resistance and providing years of reliable service. Adaptable Front Panel The front panel can be inverted by installers to position the internal speaker and orient the display for any type of vehicle. Trunked System Features The TK-863G includes all the “industry-traditional” trunked radio features permitting system technicians to integrate these units into existing fleets. These features include fixed priority/block decode ID codes, free system ring back for telephone interconnect operation, transmit inhibit, and transpond function. QT / DQT Signaling QT/DQT tone/code signaling permits users to be segregated into their own “talk groups” for repeater access and to reduce listening to other groups unnecessarily (conventional mode).
