KNG User’s Manual
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION REGULATIONS The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for portable 2-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When 2-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a product label directing users to specific user awareness information.
Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the BK Radio KNG Portable radio from RELM Wireless. The KNG APCO Project 25 radio offers an array of programmable functionality to help radio users get the most out of their portable communications. Check with your RELM/BK Radio dealer or communications officer for information on the programmed functions of your radio prior to operation. This manual contains information concerning the operation procedures for the BK Radio KNG Portable radio.

Battery Installation and Removal NOTE: For safety reasons, rechargeable battery packs are shipped uncharged or only partially charged. Therefore, a rechargeable battery pack should be properly charged in an approved battery charger before use. Installing the Battery 1. Turn the radio off. 2. Align the tabs on the bottom of the battery with the slots on the radio. 3. Push the top of the battery toward the radio until release tab "clicks" into place. Removing the Battery Release Tab 1.
Battery Care and Maintenance BK Radio battery packs are available in a variety of capacities and types for special applications. Rechargeable battery packs can be charged separately or while attached to a radio. Periodically check the contacts on the battery pack for dirt that could prevent a good electrical contact with the charging base. WARNING! Do not drop a battery pack into fire.
Programmable Switch and Button Functions The KNG portable radio is equipped with seven programmable control buttons and three programmable switches. Switch and button functions are assigned via PC programming.
LIGT T/A MENU Functions assigned to the diamond, square or up/down buttons will be highlighted on the display when turned on. TXD Keypad Menu Operation One button can be programmed as 'Menu'. Items shown in the previous table can be programmed and arranged via PC programming. These items can then be accessed with the 'Menu' button. To select from the menu: 1.

channel is busy (see Busy Channel Lockout). Select an authorized transmit channel. NOTE: When using a channel programmed for mixed mode transmit the signal will be transmitted in the mode selected by the TX Digital selection. Or if programmed for Mixed Mode Talkback, the radio will transmit in the mode of the last received channel while the “RX” icon is displayed. (See Mixed Mode Operation.) Channel Zone Selection The KNG P-150 can be programmed with up to 512 individual channels.
Code Guard Operation Analog Squelch Control Sub-audible signaling (CTCSS/CDCSS) is used to allow a group of radios to be selectively called in an analog system. Programming the receive code guard equal to zero allows for Carrier Squelch operation, where the radio will unmute whenever a carrier is detected regardless of the transmitted Code Guard.
receive NAC and TGID for the radio to unmute. The default TGID is 1. The TGID value 65535 ($FFFF hex) is used to effect an “All Call”. If the radio receives a signal with a matching NAC and the TGID = 65535 ($FFFF hex), it will unmute. Also, if the radio’s programmed TGID is 65535 ($FFFF hex), it will open on any signal with a matching NAC, ignoring the incoming TGID. A TGID = 0 means “no one”.
Mixed Mode Operation The receiver and transmitter are capable of operating in analog wide-band (25 kHz channel spacing), analog narrow-band (12.5 kHz channel spacing) and APCO Project 25 Digital Mode.
DTMF/ANI Operation The KNG portable radio can be programmed, on a zone-by-zone basis, to send DTMF tones manually via the keypad and/or send a DTMF ID automatically (ANI).

software must be used to enable OTAR and to mark the channel(s) that will communicate with the Key Management Facility (KMF). In addition, the radio must have key encryption keys (used only to encrypt other keys) loaded with an APCO Project 25 compatible key fill device such as the Motorola KVL 3000 Plus, using a BK Radio keyloader cable. Operation The receiver can be programmed to automatically detect both clear and secure signals.

The LCD will display "Keys Zeroized" after a successful operation. Over-the-Air-Rekeying (OTAR) If the radio has OTAR the radio optionally provides a method for the user to manually request a rekey from the KMF (Key Management Facility).
If a successful rekey occurs, an ascending tone will sound, and the display will momentarily show "REKEYED". If the rekey attempt fails, a descending tone will sound, and the display will momentarily show "NO_REKEY". If the selected channel has not been marked as an OTAR channel, the radio will boop and "NON-OTAR" will appear on the display. Keyset Viewing and Selecting The radio can hold up to 8 encryption keysets. Only one keyset can be active at any time.
Tactical OTAR Option (KZA0584) Tier III KNG portables may be equipped with Tactical Over-the-Air Rekeying option KZA0584. The tactical OTAR option allows a key source KNG radio to send individual encryption keys to OTAR equipped target radios without the need for a full Key Management Facility (KMF). For proper operation the Source and Target radios require specific control key loads and PC editor settings. See the programming section of this manual for required setup details.
Press the enter key to begin the key transfer. When the key information has been sent the radio will momentarily display “Key Transfer Successful”. Key Tr a n s f e r Successful CANCEL OK If the radio is not programmed for Tactical OTAR operation or is on a non-OTAR channel the display will read “Non-Tact., OTAR Channel”. Should the key transfer fail for any other reason a failure message with a two digit error code will be displayed. (See table below.
