Sophisticated Design
In sharp contrast to other transceivers in this class, the smart navy-blue TH-K2E(ET)/K4E is sophisticated inside and stylish outside.
 Priority Scan
By specifying a priority channel for scanning, you can be ready to receive on either of two different frequencies. Among the many other scan functions are VFO, MR, call, tone, CTCSS, DCS and program.
6 Character Memory Names
There are up to 100 memory channels available, or 50 if you use memory names (up to 6 alphanumeric characters to identify a channel).
Built-In CTCSS, DCS
As well as CTCSS (42 sub-audible tone frequencies) and DCS (104 codes), the TH-K2E(ET)/K4E offers a 1750Hz tone burst.
Internal VOX
Convenient hand-free operation is possible when used with the optional KHS-21 headset.
 High Capacity Ni-MH Battery
Supplied as standard is the environmentally friendly PB-43N Ni-MH battery, offering higher capacity than a Ni-Cd battery. In high-power mode RF output is an impressive 5W.
 Large Backlit LCD
The large 13-segment LCD display with backlighting ensures excellent visibility when using memory names or choosing settings.
PC Programmable

Handling multiple memory channels and memory names is easy from a PC (requires optional PG-4Y interface cable and free MCP-1A software). This is also convenient for copying settings to another transceiver. PC PROGRAMMABLE

13.8V DC-IN
In addition to offering both battery-powered and 13.8V DC operation, the TH-K2E(ET)/K4E can be used during battery-charging. Moreover, charging is faster than the previous model.
Backlit Front Keypad
Backlighting now makes key operation easy in low-light situations.
 Large Speaker, Loud Audio
Speaker output has been more than doubled to 400mW, ensuring clearer communications even in noisy environments.
 Ruggedized Weatherproof Construction

This transceiver is built tough to meet the stringent MIL-STD 810 C/D/E/F standards for resistance to rain, vibration, shock and humidity. It also meets the international IP54 standard for dust and water resistance. COMPLIANT LOGO
