Aurora User’s Manual

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations, you now own a BK Radio Aurora Series
Flex•Mode™ Radio! This synthesized portable radio uses a
microprocessor core to give you features and performance
previously unavailable in a hand-held two-way radio. The
Aurora radio has been designed to meet the tough
requirements of today’s communications environment.

The Aurora Series Radios include two models:

•

A basic radio model with 1 group of up to 16
channels without keypad or display

•

An advanced radio model with 1–15 groups of up to
16 channels each with a keypad and display

These Aurora radios all offer VHF frequency band units.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

External Speaker/Microphone

The Aurora radio has optional external speaker/microphones
(LAA0208 and LAA 0222). When the speaker/microphone
is installed with the options connector, the internal speaker is
defeated.

External VOX Headset

Another option for the Aurora radio is an external VOX
headset. When the headset is installed via the options
connector, the internal speaker/microphone is defeated.
