FleetSync
®
& FleetSync
®
II
Kenwood’s FleetSync
®
digital signalling system includes PTT ID
digital ANI for instant radio call identification and Emergency
status for personnel safety. FleetSync also includes status
messaging, selective calling and short/long text dispatch
messaging features. The TK-2180/3180 supports either original
FleetSync
®
or FleetSync
®
II*.
* FleetSync and FleetSync II are incompatible.
DUAL PRIORITY & VARIOUS SCANNING FUNCTIONS
Dual-Priority Scan automatically checks two important channels
for activity while channel scanning. Also, each radio can be
programmed to scan any organization of channels and talk groups
using the many programmable scan features and parameters.
5-TONE SIGNALLING
In addition to FleetSync
®
, the TK-2180/3180 includes the industry
standard signalling formats: QT/DQT, DTMF and 5-tone. In
particular, 5-tone signalling has been significantly enhanced for
greater flexibility, and current users of this format will welcome
the fact that it can be used in combination with FleetSync
®
for
Short/Long Text Messaging.
AVAILABLE SOFTWARE (OPT.)
ZVEI-Digital signalling and a voting function that utilizes the
signalling can be added as optional software.
VOICE GUIDE & STORAGE* (OPT.)
This innovative Kenwood option makes several functions possible.
‘‘Voice Guide’’ announces channel, zone, feature activation/
deactivation, etc. in a clear synthesised voice. ‘‘Voice Storage’’
records up to 300 seconds of receive audio for missed calls or
your own voice for memo recording. It also has an ‘‘Auto-Reply’’
greeting and can record voice messages for unattended radios
while away from the radio or while in a meeting (the calling unit
must send a FleetSync
®
selective call for activation).
* Announcement only available in English.
EASY OPTION PORT (26-PIN)
Kenwood’s plug-in option port enables
installation of the external boards such
as the VGS-1 Voice Guide and Storage
Unit quick and simple.
REAL-TIME CLOCK FOR TIME STAMPING
A new Kenwood feature, this real-
time clock can be used for basic
time-stamping.
LONE WORKER
This ingenious feature provides an extra layer of security and
safety for individuals who work remotely as well as for those
who work in hazardous areas. As long as the buttons are
pressed regularly, the radio operates normally; however, if there
is a long lapse (programmable), it will sound an alert. In the
absence of further response from the user, the TK-2180/3180
will place an emergency call to a pre-determined person or
group of people.
TRANSPARENT DATA MODE
Kenwood’s Transparent Data mode works in combination with
FleetSync
®
to enable full character transparency for exchanging
data with a transceiver linked to a PC or peripheral equipment.
This can be used for remote control and remote maintenance of
status monitoring, etc.
