Kenwood NEXEDGE Radios - GMRS

FRS / GMRS Radios
1

Just a quick post. Kenwood NEXEDGE radios are starting to be rather popular for use as GMRS radios. We are not able to list them on our site due to restrictions in place by Kenwood, but we can sell as many as we want. So get the word out that we can get them, we know there are people getting frustrated because they are only being sold at specific stores and cannot find them.

Also, we can get just about anything (well radio related) so let us know (1-800-584-1445) if there is something you are unable to find. Thanks! :slight_smile:

Caution should be used with Kenwood NEXEDGE and GMRS, as, like certain radios ‘certified’ with voice inversion scrambling, some of the modes of the radio are NOT GMRS ‘legal’, even though the type acceptance says they are.

§ 95.631 Emission types.
(a) A GMRS transmitter must transmit only emission types A1D, F1D, G1D, H1D, J1D, R1D, A3E, F3E, G3E, H3E, J3E or R3E. A non-voice emission is limited to selective calling or toneoperated squelch tones to establish or continue voice communications. See § 95.181 (g) and (h).

Emissions in red are NOT legal on GMRS, even though the cert says they’re Part 95a certified.

Danny would like to include a free t-shirt to any forum members that order a NEXEDGE radio. So if any of you are interested make sure to pester Jennifer or Anthony for your t-shirt. :slight_smile:
