In high-power mode RF output is an impressive 5W. LARGE BACKLIT LCD The large 13-segment LCD display with backlighting ensures excel- lent visibility when using memory names or choosing settings. PC PROGRAMMABLE Handling multiple memory channels and memory names is easy from a PC (requires optional PG-4Y interface cable and free MCP-1A software). This is also convenient for copying settings to another transceiver. 13.8V DC-IN In addition to offering both battery-powered and 13.8V DC operation, the TH-K2AT can be used during battery-charging. Moreover, charg- ing is faster than the previous models. BACKLIT FRONT KEYPAD Backlighting now makes key operation easy in low-light situations. HIGH-GAIN ANTENNA Shortened for easier carrying, the 4-inch antenna still offers high gain. LARGE SPEAKER, LOUD AUDIO Speaker output has been more than doubled to 400mW, ensuring clearer communications even in noisy environments. RUGGEDIZED WEATHERPROOF CONSTRUCTION This transceiver is built tough to meet the stringent MIL-STD 810 C/D/E/F standards for resistance to rain, vibration, shock and humidity. It also meets the international IP54 standard for dust and water resistance. DTMF encode Wide/narrow deviation selection Memory channel transfer Automatic simplex check Automatic repeater offset SMA antenna connector Time-out timer Auto power off SOPHISTICATED DESIGN In sharp contrast to other transceivers in this class, the smart navy-blue TH-K2AT is sophisticated inside and stylish outside. PRIORITY SCAN By specifying a priority channel for scanning, you can be ready to receive on either of two different frequencies. Among the many other scan functions are VFO, MR, call, tone, CTCSS, DCS and program. 6-CHARACTER MEMORY NAMES There are up to 100 memory channels available, or 50 if you use memory names (up to 6 alphanumeric characters to identify a channel). And in addition there are 8 special function memories. WEATHER ALERT/RX (US only) In addition to reception of the NOAA Weather Radio, this transceiver can warn you with an audible alert to emergency transmissions such as storm warnings. BUILT-IN CTCSS, DCS As well as CTCSS (42 sub-audible tone frequencies) and DCS (104 codes), the TH-K2AT offers a 1750Hz tone burst. INTERNAL VOX Convenient hand-free operation is possible when used with the optional KHS-21 headset. A triumph of advanced engineering and design Kenwoods new TH-K2AT! TH-K2AT 144MHz FM TRANSCEIVER Even at first glance, its obvious that Kenwoods stylish new TH-K2AT is in a class of its own. Though compact enough to fit snugly in either pocket or palm, it offers all the features necessary to make operation simple and sure. And despite its smart looks, this144MHz FM transceiver is tough enough to survive the rigors of outdoor use, while delivering superb performance. So roam freely while enjoying the clear, reliable communications for which Kenwood is renowned.
