The NX-1300DE3 is a digital hybrid two-way radio from Kenwood.
The NX-1300DE3 is the simple black box design of the three available models including the NX-1300DE2 and NX-1300DE.
The replacement for the hugely popular TK-D340, the NX-1300 is a mid-tier two way radio that can be used in a variety of work environments due to both its modern styling and exceptional durability. A channel capacity of 64 is more than sufficient for medium to large sized businesses, with these channels being able to be split over multiple zones in order to give factions of your business their own private channels. Due to the NX-1300 having the potential to be a analogue/digital hybrid due to the optional upgrade to DMR or NEXEDGE, this allows for it to be used as a transitional radio when implementing a new system, meaning that should you have working older analogue radios they will work alongside your new radios until they need to be replaced.
With an IP55 protection rating this ensure that the NX-1300 not only has a limited Ingres against dust intrusion but is also safeguarded against jets of water from all angles. Having been tested to MIL-STD-810 C/D/E/F/G alongside the NX-1300's Ingres protection rating, this ensures that the radio is certified for use in all magnitudes of weather conditions and is able to continuously operate in temperatures as low as -30°C through to 60°C.
The NX-1300 has an amass of features that aide with both usability of the radio and the safety of operators at work. VOX Voice Activation is a feature that can be used when you have a compatible accessory, allowing for your radio to be used hands free as the radio begins transmitting when you begin to speak, such a feature is ideal for environments whereby both hands are required when completing a job. An emergency button can be programmed to the NX-1300 as a safety precaution for your workers, should a situation arise whereby an operator has a safety or security issue then pressing this button will quickly notify other radios within the fleet that a worker may be in danger. Alongside this emergency button that is manually pressed, the NX-1300 can also be programmed with the feature Lone Worker. This feature will monitor the activity levels of the radio and should it be inactive for a pre-programmed amount of time a beep will sound, if this beep remains un-responded to then an alarm will be sent to other radios within the network to let workers now there may be an issue.
