New Kenwood Amateur VHF/UHF Gear to be Announced

Kenwood will soon announce a series of new VHF/UHF radios
for the amateur. Among these will be the TR-2600, a 2 meter
walkie-talkie with continuous receive coverage of 140 - 160
MHz, allowing monitoring of some military, public service,
and business frequencies. This radio resembles the TR-2500
physically, but has a more colorful front panel. Tradi-
tional programmable CTCSS will be optional.

The TR-2500 will contain a new Kenwood designed digital
squelch system. From what little information I've seen, it
looks like one's call letters, among other information, will
be sent in ASCII during each transmission. An optional,
outboard accessory 1 line LCD display will permit display of
these call letters. This appears to be a new form of selec-
tive calling scheme for amateurs.

Other new Kenwood offerings will include:

o+ A new 2 and 3/4 meter combination FM transceiver, smal-
ler than the present TW-4000

o+ a new low cost series of 2 and 3/4 meter walkie talkies
with thumbwheel switches (a la the ICOM 2AT and Yaesu
FT203R), with much hype about robot manufacturing tech-
nology and chip components

o+ a multi-mode 2 meter transceiver that looks like the
TS400.

Watch QST and other publications for details and pictures.
