Move from Analogue to Digital at Your Own Pace
|
NX-1000 Series digital radios also support FM analogue operation. Mixed-mode functionality allows compatible radios to recognise digital and analogue calls without relying on a separate channel-scanning process.
Organisations may continue using existing analogue equipment while adding digital radios in stages. This approach reduces disruption, spreads investment across a planned period and gives users time to adjust to the new system.

Clear KENWOOD Audio
|
Clear audio helps users receive instructions in busy, noisy or safety-related environments. NX-1000 Series radios draw on KENWOOD’s experience in professional communication and audio technology.
Portable radios provide up to 1-watt audio output. Mobile radios deliver up to 6 watts of audio output through their built-in speaker. Programmable audio settings help dealers configure the system around the working environment.
|
Feature-Rich Menu
|
Display models give users access to a wide range of programmed features through the built-in menu. Your authorised KENWOOD dealer will configure the available functions according to each team’s responsibilities.
Simple user profiles reduce unnecessary controls. Advanced profiles give supervisors and experienced users access to wider communication and system functions.
|
Digital Voice Security
|
NX-1000 digital models include a 15-bit digital bit scrambler for supported voice and data communications. DMR configurations also support optional 40-bit ARC4 enhanced encryption through a separate licence.
Your KENWOOD dealer will advise on the appropriate level of voice security. Organisations with strict information-security requirements should review their policies before selecting a radio system.
|
Digital and Analogue Mixed Mode
|
Digital and analogue mixed mode helps maintain communication between new digital radios and compatible legacy analogue equipment. The radio identifies the incoming signal type and responds using the correct operating mode.
This function supports a gradual digital migration without forcing an organisation to replace its entire radio fleet at once.
|
Emergency and Lockdown Communications
|
A programmed emergency channel allows users to send an alert or contact a designated group. This function supports emergency and lockdown procedures in schools, colleges, venues, warehouses and other managed sites.
Emergency features require suitable programming, staff training and an agreed response procedure. Your radio dealer will configure the system around your organisation’s operational plan.
|
Digital and Analogue Mixed Mode
|
Digital and analogue mixed mode helps maintain communication between new digital radios and compatible legacy analogue equipment. The radio identifies the incoming signal type and responds using the correct operating mode.
This function supports a gradual digital migration without forcing an organisation to replace its entire radio fleet at once.
|
Battery Level Check
|
Portable radio users need clear information about their remaining battery power. Display models provide visual battery information.
On non-display models, a programmed button starts a battery-level check. Audible tones and LED flashes indicate the remaining charge without requiring a screen.
|
Site Roaming
|
Site Roaming allows a radio to select a site with a stronger available signal when the user presses the push-to-talk button. This supports communication across larger buildings, campuses and linked operational locations.
Correct coverage planning remains essential. Your dealer will complete a site survey and determine the number and position of repeaters required.
|
Over-the-Air Alias
|
Over-the-Air Alias sends the transmitting radio’s programmed identity with a call. A compatible receiving radio displays the user or radio name without requiring every identity to sit within its local contact list.
This function helps teams identify callers and manage larger fleets of radios.
|
Programmable Seven-Colour LED
|
The large seven-colour LED indicator provides fast visual information. Different colours may represent individual users, teams, call types or radio status.
Visual identification helps users understand incoming activity without reading the display. Your dealer will programme the colours according to your operating requirements.
|
Dual-Slot Direct Mode for DMR
|
Dual-Slot Direct Mode allows two separate simplex calls to use the two time slots within one 12.5 kHz DMR channel. This increases direct-mode capacity without a repeater.
Both radios must support the feature and use the correct system configuration.
|
Auto Slot Select for DMR
|
Auto Slot Select allows compatible DMR radios to identify and use an available repeater time slot. This helps balance radio traffic across both slots and makes more efficient use of available capacity.
Your dealer will configure this function as part of the DMR radio system.
|
Surveillance Mode
|
Surveillance Mode switches off alert tones, the display backlight and LED illumination. This supports discreet operation for security teams and other users who need to reduce visible and audible radio alerts.
Incoming communications remain available according to the programmed radio settings.
|
Front Panel Programming
|
Supported keypad models allow authorised users to change certain conventional channel information from the radio. This provides flexibility when teams need to establish communication without access to a computer or programming software.
Dealers should restrict this function to trained and authorised users. Incorrect frequency or channel settings might prevent communication or conflict with radio licensing requirements.
