TK-D300E FM/DMR


Lscott

This is a very unusual radio. It appears to be a predecessor to their new NX-5000 series radios. It does FM, wide and narrow band, along with DMR. It's sold, or was, in Europe, not in the US. I was lucky enough to win an eBay auction to get it. The detail specs are here:

I recently found an electronics shop in the Netherlands that had these for sale, new, and best of all they ship to the USA. Most places either shows it as discontinued and or don't ship to the USA. I ordered one radio, core and belt clip only. This gives me a spare.

The model(s) I have don't include the GPS RX in them. You need a special antenna for the radio for the GPS to work. Since people have GPS included with other devices having it in the radio isn't that useful. The GPS data is not sent like Ham APRS. You need special software on the RX'ing radio to make use of location data sent anyway.
