INTRODUCTION
The KH-500 (Scan) and KH-600 (DTMF) portable
radios are lightweight, full-featured radios that provide
reliable two-way communications on 1 to 16 channels.
The KH-500 radio contains three (3) buttons on the
front panel. The KH-600 contains three (3) buttons
along with a twelve (12) button DTMF pad on the front
panel. The scan function allows monitoring of any or all
channels. Any channel may be scanned with or without
a priority level. One channel can be programmed for
Priority 1 (P1) and another for Priority 2 (P2), with any
or all remaining channels programmed as non-priority
channels (S). There is also an Emergency GE-STAR
mode transmission capability. A LCD display provides
status display of the radio functions along with the
display of the selected channel number.

The Universal Device Connector (UDC), located on
the side of the radio, provides connections for external
audio accessories. This connector also allows the
