Kenwood NX-1700 / NX-1800: Cost-effective mobile radios for vehicles and fixed installations

The Kenwood NX-1700 / NX-1800 is a mobile radio designed for users who need solid in-vehicle or desk-based communications without losing the benefits of modern digital capability. It supports NXDN, DMR and FM analogue operation, offers up to 260 channels, 128 zones, loud 6W audio, GPS connectivity, emergency features and a white backlit LCD with 7-colour LED status indicator.

One of the biggest advantages of this model is that it gives you a multi-protocol mobile platform at a cost-effective level. For businesses with mixed fleets or a gradual migration plan, that matters. It also brings the kind of features users expect in real operations: scan, site roaming, remote stun/kill/check, display customisation, horn alert/public address, and ignition sense.

Key benefits for the user

• Excellent for vehicles: ideal for vans, estate vehicles, security vehicles and engineering fleets.
• Digital and analogue flexibility: supports DMR or NXDN plus FM analogue, helping mixed fleets work together.
• Strong operational audio: Kenwood specifies 6W loud audio with optimisable TX/RX profiles.
• More control and visibility: LCD display, 7-colour LED and wide scan options help operators work faster.
• Good for dispatch and fleet work: GPS connectivity, public address and horn alert features add value beyond basic voice.

Who it suits

A good option for transport operators, maintenance fleets, mobile security, logistics, councils, engineering contractors and site supervisors.
