Kenwood TK-3000

Kenwood TK-3000 Accessories

Marine Radios UK has a wide selection of Kenwood TK-3000 accessories.

The TK-3000 is a UHF two way radio from Kenwood. A popular radio due to its simplistic design, the TK-3000 has a black box appearance making it easy to use for even unexperienced radio users. On the top of the radio alongside the antenna is both a volume and channel selector knob, whilst on the left hand side of the radio is a textured push to talk and programmable button, with these being the only active features, this is the reason radios of this look are branded as “black box design”.

Standing at 113mm in height, 54mm in width and 24.9mm in depth (When KNB-63L is Attached), this means the TK-3000 is slender and able to fit into the palm of the operators hand comfortably. Weighing at 130g without and 203g with the KNB-63L battery the radio is also extremely lightweight, with carry accessories such as belt clips and hand straps allowing for the user to easily carry radios whilst on the move.

Although a fairly compact device the TK-3000 is built to a IP54 protection rating. This rating ensures that the radio has a limited Ingres protection against dust whilst also being safeguarded against splashes of water. The TK-3000 is also built to military standards meaning that Kenwood have put it through various tests to confirm that it can continuously perform in environmental conditions such as humidity, salt fog, vibration, shock and temperature shock.

The TK-3000 has 16 channels available for programming, this more than sufficient should the radio be used in a small to medium sized business. Should you want to, or require it, then the 16th channel can be programmed to be a scan channel, this will allow for the user to quickly scan through any programmed channels to check for ongoing transmissions.

Kenwood TK-3000 is a UHF radio. If you would like the VHF version, please either select VHF when ordering or see the Kenwood TK-2000.

• Tricolour LED is a visual indicator to the user of the current status of the radio. Solid red light means the radio is currently transmitting, Solid green means the radio is currently receiving, Alternating between red and green means the VOX (voice activation) gain is being adjusted, Blinking red means the battery power is low and blinking green means the radio is in scan mode (requires dealer programming)
• 9-Hour Use means that the TK-3000 can last up to 9 hours when used 5% for transmit, 5% for receive and 90% in standby mode.
• Powerful RF Output allows the TK-3000 to transmit on 5W, with it's brother, the TK-3000 UHF to transmit on 4W.
• Battery Saver Mode allows the radio to enter a low power mode and extend battery life. Whilst in low power mode the radio may take a fraction of a second longer to recognise an active radio transmission.
• Busy Channel Lockout mode will help prevent transmission collisions. This means that whilst a transmission is being broadcast and received, the user cannot initiate a broadcast. Pressing the push-to-talk (PTT) will result in an error code. This function needs to be enabled by Radiotronics when programming.
• Compact Design means the TK-3000 weighs only 203g, making the TK2000 one of the lightest two way radios on the market.
• Commanded Audio ensures the TK-3000 delivers superior audio quality and helps to prevent audio distortion when receiving or transmitting.
• DTMF enables the radio to receive pre-determined codes to recognise an incoming transmission.
• Enhanced Kenwood Audio ensures the ultimate in loud and clear audio from the TK-3000.
• Kenwood ESN is the Kenwood electronic serial number which allows the radio to be recognised during transmission.
• Multiple Scanning Function allows the dealer to program multiple different scan types.
• Kenwood TK-3000 has a Programmable Function Key below the PTT paddle that can be programmed to allow modification of almost any radio function from power hi/low, to a quick access function.
• CTCSS and/or DCS means the TK-3000 can block out unwanted interference and other radio traffic, ensuring an interference free radio experience.
• When using a repeater, in the event of repeater failure, talk-around allows the user to switch to broadcast on the repeater's transmission frequency. This allows the user to make important announcements, even when the repeater has failed.
• Time-out Timer means that in the case that the user has accidentally jammed the PTT paddle, the radio will stop transmitting within 30 seconds. This can usually be programmed to anywhere from 5 seconds to 30 seconds by Radiotronics.
• Voice Activation (VOX) means that the user can use the radio in completely hands-free mode. This can only usually be achieved by using a voice activation (VOX) enabled accessory such as an earpiece. It's important to note that the user must be using a VOX enabled earpiece in order for VOX to work.
• Dealer / Software Programmable means that the TK2000 by Kenwood is completely programmable and customisable. Either the user can request the dealer (Radiotronics) to program the radio, or the user can download the programming software and purchase a suitable programming lead to program the radio themselves.
