VHF/UHF FM Mobile Transceiver

All-Terrain Performance

Frontiers are not for the meek. It takes a rugged 4WD vehicle to meet
the challenges of the wilderness. And Kenwood’s new TM-271E is built
just as tough. This compact, MIL-STD-compliant transceiver delivers
powerful mobile performance and such advanced features as multiple
scan functions, memory names, and external TNC connectivity for
packet communications. But on or off the road, you can always enjoy
the sophistication of high-quality audio, illuminated keys and a large LCD
with adjustable cool-green backlighting for simple operation, day and
night. The TM-271E is the ideal companion for all your travels.

HIGH RF POWER OUTPUT (60W)
Despite its size, the TM-271E can provide an impressive 60 watts
of RF power, with a choice of High/Low output.
US MIL-STD 810 C/D/E/F &
EUROPE’S E-MARK
Built tough to take rough treatment in its stride,
the TM-271E meets the strict U.S. Department
of Defense MIL-STD 810 C, D, E & F environmental
standards in categories such as Vibration
and Shock. It is also certified compliant with EU
Directive 95/54/EC (Automotive-EMC).
ALPHANUMERIC LCD AND ILLUMINATED
KEYPAD
Capable of displaying up to 6 large
alphanumeric characters, the positivetype
green LCD display comes with a
32-step brightness control to suit all
driving conditions. Also, the front panel and microphone keypads
are both illuminated for ease of use. Note that keys for only the 5
most frequently used functions are arranged on the front panel for
simplicity (other functions can be quickly accessed via menu).

200 MEMORY CHANNELS PLUS
1 CALL-CHANNEL
Each of the 200 memory channels can be
used to store, transmit, and receive frequencies
independently. Additionally, memory data
can be edited and stored on a PC using the
optional KPG-46 PC interface cable and
MCP-1A Memory Control Software.
MEMORY NAME FUNCTION
At-a-glance identification of 100 memory channels is possible
with up to 6 alphanumeric characters per channel. Up to 200
channels are available if the memory name function is not used.
CTCSS & DCS ENCODER/DECODER
The built-in CTCSS and DCS encoder/decoder enables operation
of the 42 CTCSS subtone frequencies and 104 DCS subtone frequencies.
HIGH FREQUENCY STABILITY
Thanks to the built-in TCXO, frequency stability is ±2.5ppm, while
frequency drift is less than ±365Hz at -20°C ~ +60°C.
1200/9600BPS HIGH-SPEED
DATA COMMUNICATIONS
When hooked up to a TNC, you can make
use of either standard 1200bps or highspeed
9600bps packet communications.

DTMF MICROPHONE
The TM-271E is supplied with a DTMF microphone as standard.
HIGH-QUALITY FRONT SPEAKER
The large oval (58mm x 35mm) speaker mounted in the front panel
provides excellent clarity.
MULTIPLE SCAN FUNCTIONS
For maximum versatility, the TM-271E offers several scan functions,
including VFO (band) scan, all memory scan, program scan, memory
group scan (group scan), call scan, tone/CTCSS scan, DCS scan
and priority scan, which checks a priority channel every 3 seconds.
TO (Time-operated), CO (carrier-operated) and seek scan resume
modes are also provided.
