Kenwood NX-3720E Nexedge VHF Mobile Radio

Kenwood Nexedge NX-3720e Mobile Radio Product Description

The Kenwood NX-3720E is a vehicle mounted multi-protocol digital radio designed to deliver high performance, a rich range of advanced features and flexible deployment options.

Part of the Kenwood Nexedge range, one of the NX-3720E’s unique selling points is it is designed to operate using mixed digital and analogue protocols simultaneously. On the one hand, seamless switching between digital and FM analogue operation makes the NX-3720E ideal for use as a mobile control base for mixed fleets, and a useful option for migrating from analogue to digital over time.

At the same time, the NX-3000 series offers future-proof flexibility with support for both NXDN and DMR digital protocols. In DMR mode, the industry standard for digital radio, users have access to features such as call interrupt and dual slot direct mode, which doubles the number of channels from the 512 available as standard. NXDN provides excellent spectrum efficiency, ensuring wide coverage and scalability, with the ability to scale up to large, high capacity networks through Type-C and Gen2 trunking. This includes the option to link up to 1000 sites.

Whether in NXDN or DMR digital mode, the NX-3720E benefits from outstanding audio quality courtesy of Active Noise Reduction (ANR), a patented Kenwood audio technology. ANR utilizes built-in DSP to digitally remove background noise from the signal, ensuring that only voice is received and processed at the other end to ensure clean and audible communications in all environments.

The unit comes with a built-in internal speaker, but also has a port for connecting an external speaker, and a switch for swapping between the two. There is a seven-colour LED indicator on the radio’s front panel which displays the current operational mode and status of the device, along with a four-line, 14-character display which supports text messaging, i.e. texts from handsets in the fleet can be viewed and read.

As a VHF two way radio, the NX-3720E is well suited to use in open outdoor environments, such as on farms, parks and nature reserves. The additional signal range you get from VHF makes it a popular choice for security and coordination at large outdoor events such as festivals or road races.

For ease of use, the NX-3720E comes packed with convenient features like Bluetooth for hands-free operation while driving, with a choice of Bluetooth profiles for connecting different wireless accessories, so the radio can still be used even when someone is driving. Another highly useful feature is built-in GPS tracking, which means that even when the vehicle is in transit, its location can be monitored to help with work coordination across a large area.

All NX-3000 series radios require an Ofcom licence to operate.
