for utmost efficiency in a palm-size format Kenwood's
TH-22E (VHF) and TH-42E (UHF). So small and slim
that they can easily slip into a shirt pocket. Remarkably
light too. Yet these super-compact FM transceivers deliver
impressive performance, thanks to the MOS FET power
module - a world-first in this class - which enables low-voltage
operation while enhancing reliability. Long hours of operation
are possible on just one charge. Size considerations don't mean
a compromise on sound quality either: the large speaker ensures
that everything is loud and clear. Other welcome features include
an easy-to-use menu system, multiple scan functions, and 40
memory channels (plus 1 call channel).
MOS FET power module
High RF output (5W) with 9.6V battery. A 6V
battery pack provides 3 watts
(TH-22E) or 2.5 watts (TH-42E).
User friendly
operation
In addition to menu system operation of
this transceiver has been made simpler
with 6 keys on the front (VFO, MR, CALL,
MHz, T/CT, and REV) and
3 on the side (PTT, LAMP, and MONI).
DTSS (Dual-Tone
Squelch System) and pager
DTSS opens the squelch to allow DTMF access
to the receiver, while the pager will
alert the operator to an incoming call.
40 multi-function
memory channels plus 1 call channel
All 41 memory channels can independently
store essential data - transmit and receive
frequencies, frequency step, tone (CTCSS)
frequency, tone on/off, CTCSS on/off,
DTSS code, DTSS on/off, shift, reverse on/off
- in non-volative E2PROM, so there's no
need for battery backup.
Powerful multi-scan
function
You can choose VFO, call and memory scans (with
programmable memory channel lock-out).
Scan stop modes include CO (stops on a busy
channel and resumes 2 seconds after the
signal drops out), and TO (stops on a busy
channel for 5 seconds, then resumes).
Tone alert with
elapsed time indicator
To signal the presence of an incoming
signal, this tone alert system will cause a distinct audio
tone to be emitted from the transceiver for
10 seconds. A flashing bell provides a visual
indication, and the time is also shown in
the display.
