With the tough, compact ProTalk Digital NX-240V16P2 Compact Digital/Analog 32-Channel Portable Radio from Kenwood you can talk in a variety of environments using the analog FM mode which operates on the 12.5 kHz channel, or the digital NXDN mode which operates on the 6.25 kHz channel. Regardless of the mode you use, you benefit from enhanced clarity and improved coverage thanks to NXDN low BER technology which increases coverage by up to 20% over analog. Voice quality has also been greatly improved thanks to AMBE+2 VOCODER technology, designed to accurately replicate human speech. The NX-240V16P2 portable radio comes with 27 (151-159 MHz) pre-set frequencies along with support for 32 channels for enhanced coverage and voice clarity.
Switchable Digital and Analog Dual Modes
The NX-240V16P2 portable radio is effectively two radios in one—analog and digital—operating on 12.5 kHz in analog zones, and on 6.25 kHz NXDN in digital zones. For convenience, a PF key can be used to switch between zones.
Enhanced Clarity in Extended Coverage
The NX-240V16P2 series radio employs NXDN, an FDMA digital air interface with AMBE+2 voice coding technology, unique filtering, and a four-level FSK modulation technique with low-bit error rate (BER) even at weak RF signal strengths. As RF signal strength weakens with distance, analog reception becomes increasingly noisy and intermittent. NXDN's low BER improves reception in fringe areas, increasing coverage as much as 20% over analog.
Enhanced Audio Quality
AMBE+2 VOCODER technology accurately replicates natural human speech nuances for enhanced voice quality. Additionally, the powerful 36mm-diameter speaker delivers up to 1W audio output, providing clearer and crisper audio.
Frequency and QT/DQT/RAN
Users can program a ProTalk to any of the pre-stored frequencies, QT/DQT analog codes, RAN digital codes, thus assuring compatibility with other brands. The ProTalk digital VHF NX-240V16P/P2 16-channel model has 27 pre-stored frequencies, while the ProTalk digital UHF NX-340U16P/P2 16-channel model has 99. Both models have 39 QT tones, 168 DQT codes in analog mode, and 64 RAN codes in digital mode.
Programmable Function Keys
Both PF Keys can be programmed for any of the many functions available, permitting customization to suit your specific requirements.
High Security
Helping to maintain a high level of security and confidentiality in analog mode is a 16-code voice inversion scrambler. Robust NXDN encryption is available with 32,767 selectable digital modes.
Wireless Cloning
This feature simplifies the setting up of multiple ProTalk radios for identical functions, eliminating the need to customize individual radios. (Dealer function only)
