GENERAL

The KPC-300/400 Portable Radio Unit operates in the

conventional 150 to 174 MHz frequency band. There are two
versions, Scan and System, with the System Version having
a DTMF keypad. Up to sixteen (16) RF channels may be
pre-programmed into the radio using a personal computer.
Power output on each channel can be programmed for either
high power (5 watts) or low power (1 watt). The power output
on each channel can be toggled between high or low de-
pended upon the pre-programmed setting with High/Low
button on the left side panel. 

Each radio is capable of operation in 12.5 kHz or 25 kHz

channel spacing systems. System deviation for 12.5 kHz
channel spacing is 2.5 kHz and 5 kHz for 25 kHz channel
spacing.

The KPC-300 radio contains three (3) buttons on the front

panel. The KPC-400 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
Emergency 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 radio system
personnel to connect programming equipment and program
the per-channel and overall radio features.
