The BK Radio KNG-P150/P400 from RELM Wireless Corporation meets or exceeds the highest performance specifications of all comparable digital two-way radios, providing clearest sound with least distortion.

The KNG-P150/P400 meets or exceeds requirements for APCO Project 25 (P25) and TIA Class A specifications including interoperability with other P25-compliant VHF/UHF radio products.

The KNG Series is Smaller and lighter than any other P25 portable radio, the KNG-P150/P400 is infused with advanced features, yet designed for ease of use and custom-programming in the field.


The KNG P150/KNG P400 also offers certain practical advantages to radio users in the field. It is the smallest and lightest P25 digital portable radio among all comparable radios, making the radio less obvious to others. The KNG P150/KNG P400’s lower current drain and power consumption give it significantly longer battery life (18+ hours) while providing up to 6 watts of RF output power for extended communications. This is beyond the reach of most other manufacturers’ comparable radios.

The KNG P150/KNG P400 shares interoperability with other manufacturers’ VHF/UHF digital radio equipment also in compliance with P25 requirements.

Other advanced features and functionalities include:

• Enabling easier operation and custom-programming in the field are advanced features such as an enhanced multi-line dot-matrix display window and customizable keypad menu, OTAR (Over-The-Air Rekeying), cloning, USB (Universal Serial Bus) software to program the KNG P150/KNG P400 via PC or laptop, plus automatic digital/analog/mixed-mode detection/talkback.

• Design and construction provide maximum rugged reliability to withstand hazardous conditions. The KNG P150/KNG P400 meets MIL-STD 810 C/D/E/F specifications and has earned an IP67 submersible rating. There is also the option of a modified radio for IS (Intrinsically Safe) certification by FM Approvals.

• Embedded FIPSCOM cryptographic module provides secure encryption compliant with requirements of FIPS 140-2 for AES encryption/decryption of digital communications as well as enabling legacy DES encryption.

*New!!! "Wireless Tactical OTAR"

"Wireless Tactical OTAR”, allows the Brigades to maintain their Key loading equipment at the Brigade level and issue Master KNG radios (no cost difference from soldier radios) that are capable of Re keying Soldier radios over the air. This allows the US Army not to have to rely on key management infrastructure that can cost in excess of a half a million dollars, which by design has a limited range similar to what a Repeater system provides. Through this Wireless OTAR feature radios do not necessarily need to be brought back up to a higher command level for Re key, and sensitive and expensive key loading equipment does not need to be purchased and distributed to the lower echelons.
