TH-K20A
144 MHz FM TRANSCEIVER
Empowering Communications
Boasting 5.5 watts of RF output, Kenwood’s new TH-K20A radio
is powerful. Despite being small enough to fit comfortably in the
palm, it offers full-size performance and numerous features to
ensure superb operating ease. Both display and keypad are
backlit for nighttime use, and for added convenience everyday
functions are pre-programmed to 11 keys with an additional
PF key that can be assigned with a custom function. Plus, its
construction is rugged enough to stand up to the worst weather.
Inside and out, the TH-K20A is fully equipped for clear
communications – wherever and whenever needed.

High Sound Pressure for Audio Clarity
Another feature that sets the TH-K20A apart is sound: it
benefits from the audio expertise for which Kenwood is
renowned. High sound pressure – which is not the same as
volume – delivers a clarity that is unmistakable. Just listen
once and you will appreciate what a difference it makes.
▲
200 Channels with 6-Digit Memory Name
The TH-K20A has 200 memory channels – with a 6-digit
Memory Name function to enable clear identification – plus 6
program scan memories, 1 call channel and 1 priority channel.

Li-ion Battery & Cradle Charger
This radio is supplied with a rechargeable
Lithium-ion battery plus a convenient cradle
charger.
▲
Weather Alert/RX/Channel
Scan (US only)
In addition to reception of the NOAA Weather Radio (10ch),
this transceiver can notify you of emergency transmissions
such as storm warnings with an audible alert.
▲
Conveniently Compact, Reliably Robust
This radio is remarkably light (just 7.4 oz or 210 g) and
thin (2.13 inches or 54 mm). Yet there is no compromise
on construction: it meets or exceeds the stringent IP54
dust and water intrusion standards as well as the MIL-
STD 810 C, D, E, F & G environmental standards,
making it rugged enough
for demanding outdoor
use in bad weather.
