Kenwood NX5000 "S" Series

[Remington12G]

I have heard some people talking about a portable and mobile version of the NX-5000 Series but an Analog, DMR, and NXDN Only model with no P25 capability. I believe it was like 5200S/5300S. Has anyone else heard about this or happens to have a Data Sheet?

Just reread the release ANALOG DMR NXDN BLACK AND WHITE SCREEN.
PM me 12G

Yes, the radio was announced today, the screen is Black on White by software.
No, a release date has not been posted. basically told, it's NX-3000 with a 5000 body.
Same goes for the mobile 57/5800-S.
I have asked about the remote kits, was told, Single Deck, Single Head. KRK-14 and KRK-15. No multi deck.

A post from the release
As a countermeasure to the NX-3x00/3x20 delay, JVCKENWOOD has developed the NX-5000S Series (models below) as a substitute. NX-5000S models will be available starting July, 2021. Please refer to the included NX-5000S Portable and Mobile Product Sheets to reference model similarities and differences.

Yep, same thing I heard form my Kenwood rep. We're using NX-3400's and NX-3300's at work, so if we need to purchase anything right now, it's going to be the NX-5000S line.

I feel bad for the 900MHz people that are going to have issues

Anterix will gladly hook them up.

?

Is there a 900MHz mobile/portable from Anterix? I was just implying the NX-3901 / 3401 customers don't have an NX-5000 model to fall on.

No, I was referring to Anterix buying up 900MHz spectrum thanks to the FCC changing rules for them. Anterix is getting 10MHz of spectrum to build out a nationwide LTE network. Because we really need another LTE network (sarcasm)

But, yes, correct, 900MHz LMR radios from Kenwood does have a crimp in the supply line.

Just out of curiosity, will they be interfering with the ISM band at all. Just bought a fleet of DTR license-free portables that are in the ISM (902-928) range.

No, it's below and above ISM.

And I was incorrect, it's not 10MHz. They are getting a total of 6MHz, 3MHz for uplink and 3MHz for downlink.
Anterix will be using:
897.5MHz to 900.5MHz
936.5MHz to 939.5MHz

ISM is 902MHz to 928MHz as the primary user. Ham radio has the same spectrum for the 33cm band as a secondary user.

Your radios/investment is safe.
