5. INSTALLATION PLANNING – CONTROL STATIONS<br />

5-1. Antenna system<br />

Control station. <strong>The</strong> antenna system selection depends<br />

on many factors and is beyond the scope of this <strong>manual</strong>.<br />

Your KENWOOD dealer can help you select an antenna system<br />

that will best serve your particular needs.<br />

5-2. Radio location<br />

Select a convenient location for your control station radio<br />

which is as close as practical to the antenna cable entry<br />

point. Secondly, use your system’s power supply (which<br />

supplies the voltage and current required for your system).<br />

Make sure sufficient air can flow around the radio and power<br />

supply to allow adequate cooling.<br />

SERVICE<br />

This radio is designed for easy servicing. Refer to the<br />

schematic diagrams, printed circuit board views, and alignment<br />

procedures contained in this <strong>manual</strong>.<br />

Note<br />

When you modify your radio as described in system setup,<br />

take the following precaution.<br />

<strong>The</strong> rating of pin 7 (SB) of the accessory connector cable<br />

(KCT-19) on the rear of the radio is 13.6V (1A). Insert a 1A<br />

fuse if you use the SB pin for external equipment.<br />

speaker, fit the supplied speaker-jack cap (B09-0235-05)<br />

to stop dust and sand getting in.<br />

1. Operation Features<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>TK</strong>-<strong>880</strong>/<strong>880</strong>H is a <strong>UHF</strong> FM radio designed to operate<br />

in both trunking format (LTR model) and conventional format<br />

(Conventional model). <strong>The</strong> programmable features are<br />

summarized.<br />

Model Trunking format Trunking mode<br />

Conventional format<br />

Conventional mode<br />

1-1. Trunking Format<br />

This format can handle up to 32 systems with up to 250<br />

groups in each system. <strong>The</strong> transceiver can be used in both<br />

trunked mode and conventional mode. Systems, groups,<br />

and their functions are programmed.<br />

1-2. Conventional Format<br />

This format can handle up to 250 groups with 250 channels<br />

in each group. <strong>The</strong> transceiver can be used only in conventional<br />

mode. Groups, channels, and their functions are<br />

programmed.<br />

2. Transceiver Controls and Indicators (Fig. 1)<br />

2-1. Front Panel Controls<br />

All the keys on the front panel are momentary-type push<br />

buttons. <strong>The</strong> functions of these keys are explained below.<br />

• POWER key<br />

Transceiver POWER key. When the power is switched<br />

off, all the parameters, such as the system and group in<br />

trunking format, and the group and channel in conventional<br />

format, are stored in memory. When the power is switched<br />

on again, the transceiver returns to the previous conditions.<br />

• SYSTEM UP/DOWN key<br />

(Trunking format, programmable)<br />

• GROUP UP/DOWN key<br />

(Conventional format, programmable)<br />
