Kenwood NX-3720E / NX-3820E: Flexible mobile radios for serious operations

The Kenwood NX-3720E / NX-3820E is a highly capable mobile radio for operations that need more flexibility than an entry-level vehicle set can offer. It supports NXDN, DMR and FM analogue, includes built-in GPS and Bluetooth, offers 512 channels and 128 zones with a 1000-channel option, and even allows the front panel to be used as a remote control head with the appropriate accessories.
That flexibility is the key sales point. In the real world, radio installations are rarely one-size-fits-all. Vehicles, plant rooms, gatehouses and control points all create different mounting and usability challenges. The NX-3720E / NX-3820E gives buyers a platform that can adapt to those situations while still delivering proper professional digital performance.
