...but will not do MDC1200 or (for you fire guys) 2tone decode or encode, bummer!
Actually, according to
Kenwood's brochure, the 2312 will do single-tone, two-tone
and MDC encode/decode!
I've been thinking about getting a new mobile, and have been looking at the Tk-7360, which seems to be the mobile equivalent of the 2312; and also have a couple of questions. (they should also apply to the 2312)
Do these newer radios still have the same great audio that Kenwood is known for in the older series?
How fast is the priority sample? I have never used a Kenwood radio, but other radios I've used (Icom, Vertex) have had very long priority sample times, leaving large gaps in the receive audio when using priority scan and makes conversations hard to follow. The exception is Motorola, with their radios having a very fast sample that does not really disrupt the audio; I'm hoping Kenwood is similar.
I have noticed from threads
like this, that this series doesn't seem to have all of the "configurability" of the x180 series (that I'm also looking at). Is there much more stuff like that missing from the software for these radios?
Does the 7360 also have FPP like some other Kenwood mobiles, and the 2312?
Any answers would be much appreciated!
