The new Kenwood PKT-300 is a compact, lightweight, and ready-to-use radio, designed to simplify everyday communication. Easy to use, robust enough, and surprisingly affordable.
With a modest investment, you can equip your team with a professional tool that guarantees clear, instant, and reliable communications throughout the workday. Its rugged and compact design makes it the ideal choice for dynamic environments focused on customer service, such as retail, hospitality, warehousing, and entertainment.
Communication becomes lighter
Not only compact but also surprisingly handy: the PKT-300 radio weighs just 140 grams including the battery and has small dimensions (50 x 98 x 27 mm), making it perfect to carry in a pocket or on a belt. No complex configurations or optional accessories are needed to get started. The package already includes a battery, charger, and belt clip—just turn it on, and it’s ready to go.
This radio is built for the fast-paced and dynamic rhythms of those who work closely with the public or move around frequently. The backlit LCD display provides all essential information at a glance, while Kenwood’s audio quality, guaranteed by a 32 mm speaker and compander technology, ensures clear communication even in noisy environments.
Autonomy and performance for the whole day
One of the most appreciated features of the PKT-300 radio is its battery life. With power-saving mode enabled, the 2200 mAh lithium-ion battery allows for up to 24 hours of continuous use. This means you can rely on the radio throughout your workday, without needing to worry about recharging or interruptions.
The range is also impressive: under optimal conditions, the PKT-300 can reach up to 9 km of coverage. A significant advantage for those operating in large facilities, outdoor environments, or multi-floor buildings, where instant communication is critical to efficiency.
All the technology you need, without complications
What makes this radio so popular is precisely its ease of use. No technical skills are required to get started: the controls are intuitive, logically arranged, and easily accessible. The power switch and volume knob are located at the top of the device, while the PTT button is well-positioned on the side.
But simplicity doesn’t mean giving up advanced features. The PKT-300E radio includes enhanced features designed to make every communication more effective, secure, and personalized. These include hands-free transmission (VOX), Privacy Talk function to protect conversations, and the ability to choose from 16 preset channels, with automatic scanning to monitor multiple frequencies hands-free. All this is enhanced by QT/DQT sub-audio codes, ideal for avoiding external interference.
A particularly useful feature is Super Lock, an advanced key lock that prevents accidental changes to settings by the user. There are two lock levels available: the first disables menu, call alert, and channel change; the second only limits access to the menu and call alert, leaving other core functions active.
In high-traffic communication contexts, Busy Channel Lockout also comes into play, preventing transmission when a channel is already in use, reducing overlap and confusion in the field.
The PKT-300E radio requires no license to operate and integrates easily with existing Kenwood microphones and earpieces. It is MIL-STD 810H certified and has an IP52 protection rating, built to withstand shocks, vibrations, and harsh environmental conditions. A true work solution—simple only in appearance.
