Thought I would share this with you guys. We have a Kenwood Nexedge trunking system running, 12 sites, 37 channels here in Cape Town, South Africa.
When we heard about Icom making radios that would be compatible with the Nexedge type c network we were quite excited.
I received the Icom portable, IC-F4360DT portable in July and have been playing with it since then and have had no issues at all, its all 100% compatible (Voice, status, SDM text, GPS, Encryption)
We received our mobile, IC-F6360D, last week and have installed it and all seems good as far as Interoperability is concerned with the Kenwood Nexedge trunking radios
Today I decided to open the radio's up and have a look inside, and I noticed that the ASIC chip in the radio is a Kenwood chip, which I found quite interesting. The software is also very much "Kenwood" looking as compared to Icom looking software.
Anyway its nice to have different option's of radios to offer our clients
