KENWOOD NX-3000 Series – One Radio with Multi-Protocol Support
The communication landscape in retail, corporate, and industrial settings often combines digital and analogue FM two-way radios. Some may currently use only analogue FM and are considering the transition to a digital radio system in the future.
The NX-3000 Series from KENWOOD provides a forward-looking solution by offering support for both NXDN and DMR digital air interfaces (included as standard), along with FM analogue – all within a single radio device. This design allows users the flexibility to choose their preferred digital protocol, granting the freedom to transition to digital communication or expand their digital capabilities gradually. Additionally, the radio presents a unique feature, allowing users to add or remove functions as needed.

Hardware feature highlights
- SMA Antenna Connector.Thanks to the built-in GPS antenna, different antennas such as long whip and stubby types can be attached.
- 7-colour light bar indicator. Each channel can be assigned a different colour from the seven available (green, light blue, blue, magenta, red, yellow and white) for at-a-glance notification of the caller.
- Multi-line LCD with white backlighting. The channel name, status and text message appear on the model with LCD display.
- 2-pin connector (NX-3200/3300). NX-3000 Series portables are available in 2 different connectors; the Universal connector offers connectivity with a wider range of accessories.
NX-3000 Series Mobiles
KENWOOD NX-3720E and NX3820E are adaptable professional mobile radios which support both DMR and KENWOOD NXDN protocols. Designed to be flexible, NX-3720/3820 comes with built-in Bluetooth as standard and can be ordered with integrated GPS. The radio’s front panel can be used as a remote control head (requires optional accessories) and the radio can be extensively customised via additional software.

Supported Protocols
NXDN Digital Protocol
In addition to the narrow 12.5 kHz support, the NXDN protocol can fit into the very narrow 6.25 kHz bandwidth using FDMA technology. Ensuring excellent spectrum efficiency, wide coverage and high scalability, it provides expansion for not only statewide but also interstate: In addition to NXDN Conventional, NXDN Type-C Trunking and Gen 2 Trunking offer enhanced features, flexibility and performance, including the ability to link up to 1,000 sites.
DMR Digital Protocol
Making use of existing infrastructure, DMR is an excellent, cost- effective solution for simple systems. Thanks to 2-slot TDMA, DMR can obtain 2 talk paths within 12.5 kHz bandwidth, effectively doubling the capacity for a single license and/or repeater. DMR Tier II (conventional) and Site Roaming are supported, as well as Tier III Trunking.
FM Analogue
FM analogue protocol is offered in 25 kHz* and narrow 12.5 kHz channel spacing. Conventional and LTR systems are offered including QT/DQT, DTMF 2-tone/ 5-tone, MDC-1200 and KENWOOD’s own FleetSync® signaling**.
*Some limitations apply in certain regions when configuring wide channel spacing.
** Signaling availability varies depending on the region
Mixed Digital & FM Analogue OperationFor gradual migration at you own pace, the NX-3000 radios that are set to Mixed Mode will automatically respond to calls from either digital or FM analogue by indicating an icon on the LCD display.
Designed for systems of all shapes and sizes
Capability to operate in digital protocol allows extending your channel capacity. The NX-3000 radios are designed to fit in different systems, from shopping mall or hospitality setting using conventional digital system in NXDN or DMR, to wider multi-site trunking systems using IP networking such as NXDN Type-C and Gen2 that extend across a campus or plant, even as wide as state/province or nationwide.
NXR-1000 Series – ultra-compact repeaters
The KENWOOD NXR-1000 Series (NXR-1700 VHF and NXR-1800 UHF) is a light, ultra-compact, multi-mode conventional repeater. NXR-1000 series supports features and performance that make it ideal for users wishing to increase the range and capacity of an existing FM Analogue system while also offering the option to migrate to DMR or NXDN digital operation.
