MAIN FEATURES
128 Channels or 128 Zones total capacity
The 128 channel or 128 zone capacity leaves room for virtually any current or future
requirement for single- or multi-site radio systems.
Wide Band Coverage (70MHz in UHF)
The TK-2312/3312 Series offer wide frequency coverage, 38MHz band-spread for
VHF (136-174 MHz) and 70MHz band-spread for UHF (400-470 MHz). Great for a
wide range of customers, and very useful for rental business.
Easy Operation
The 128-channel, 128-zone capacity is ample for virtually any current or future
requirement for single- or multi-site radio systems.
Clear and Crisp, Enhanced Kenwood Audio
The TK-2312/3312 Series provides loud clear audio even in noisy environments.
Kenwood has utilized its longstanding audio heritage to optimize voice frequency
components so that the audio output cuts through typical ambient noise. This
enhancement and the companded noise reduction provide clarity and low distortion
especially on narrow bandwidth systems.
Robust & Water Resistant
The TK-2312/3312 Series are built to survive hard knocks, drops and all-weather
environments of its users. It meets or exceeds the stringent IP54/55 dust and water
intrusion standards and the MIL-STD 810 C, D, E, F and G environmental standards.
It still meets IP54/55 when used with the KMC-45 external speaker microphone.
Variety of Signalling
9QT/DQT
The Encoder/Decoder function uses QT/DQT to segregate talk groups, so
users only hear calls from their own group.
DTMF PTT ID is included for dispatch operations or for a simple remote
control application.
95-Tone Signalling
Built-in 5-tone encoder/decoder provides 6-different formats, ZVEI, ZVEI2,
CCIR, EIA, EEA and the Kenwood format. It is also possible to set not only

3
5-Tone but also 6-Tone, 7-Tone, 8-Tone, 2-frames 5-Tone and the 3-frames
5-tone signalling.
9FleetSync® PTT ID, SelCall & Emergency
Utilizing Kenwood’s FleetSync® signalling protocol, the TK-2312E/3312E
series have PTT ID (ANI: automatic number identification) and Selective
Calling capabilities for managed dispatch operations. For hazardous/hostile
duty environments, a PF key can also be programmed for Emergency status
to alert the dispatcher and/or operator to a user in distress.
9MDC-1200 Signalling Compatible*
The following features are available with the built-in MDC signalling.
The function can be set per zone.
■PTT ID Encode ■Emergency Encode ■Stun/Revive Decode■Radio check Decode
9 Programmable Function Keys
No fewer than 9 programmable functions keys (7 on the front, 2 on the side) allow the
radio to be customized to fit specific requirements. A PF key also can be
programmed for the Emergency function to send a help signal to a pre-determined
person or group, using DTMF, FleetSync®signalling.
Emergency Function
For hazardous/hostile duty environments, the side keys can be programmed for
Emergency use to transmit an alert to predetermined person or group using DTMF,
FleetSync®signalling.
GPS Ready
The TK-2312/3312 Series can be used in conjunction with the KMC-48GPS optional
speaker microphone and the KAS-10 PC software*, focusing on the demands for
human location management application.
* The TK-2312/3312 Series work as subscriber terminal. For Base station operation, you need a mobile
radio.
4-Colours LED (Blue, Red, Orange and Green)
On top of existing colours (Red, Orange and Green), the TK-2312/3312 Series radios
feature a Blue LED. With this variety of colour LEDs, radio users can recognize the
caller when the radio receives a selective call transmission.
Priority Scan
Scanning is a simple way to monitor multiple channels. There are both standard and
priority scan modes available to the TK-2312/3312 Series. And Talk Back allows you
to respond immediately to a call regardless of the pre-programmed or selected scan
revert channel.

4
Programmable Voice Inversion Scrambler*
The built-in programmable voice inversion scrambler provides protection against
casual eavesdropping.
*This function cannot be used in certain countries. Please contact your Kenwood contacts for further
information.
VOX Ready
The TK-2312/3312 Series offer convenient hands-free operation with a compatible
headset. The TK-2312/3312 Series internal VOX (voice-operated transmission)
circuitry provides automatic PTT and a 10-level sensitivity adjustment for different
ambient noise levels.
Independent Setting Per Channel (VOX, Compander, Scrambler)
The TK-2312/3312 Series can be dealer-programmed with VOX, Scrambler and
Compander functions “per channel”. If you program the same frequency on different
channel, you can easily switch the function on/off by selecting the appropriate
channel.
