Product Information
Kenwood ProTalk NX-P1300NUK Two-Way Radio
The Kenwood NX-P1300NUK is built for teams that can't afford communication breakdowns. With 4 watts of UHF power, 64 channels, and a rugged IP54/55-rated housing, this radio keeps your crew connected—across warehouses, manufacturing floors, grocery stores, and beyond.
Built to Withstand the Job Site
Dropped radios. Dusty warehouses. Unexpected rain. The NX-P1300NUK handles it all. It meets 11 MIL-STD 810 C/D/E/F/G environmental standards—including resistance to driven rain—so it keeps working even when conditions don't cooperate. The IP54/55 rating means moisture and dust won't slow your operations down.
Crystal-Clear Audio, Every Time
Poor audio costs time. The NX-P1300NUK uses the AMBE+2™ vocoder for natural-sounding voice with virtually no delay, paired with a BTL audio amplifier that delivers a powerful 1-watt output. Your team hears every word clearly—even in loud, high-traffic environments.
Manage Large Teams with Ease
With 64 channels and a coverage range of up to 550,000 sq ft across 50 floors, coordinating large teams is straightforward. The Second PTT (Push-to-Talk) feature lets supervisors send separate instructions to different staff members simultaneously—no confusion, no crossed wires.
Analog Today, Digital When You're Ready
The NX-P1300NUK operates on analog out of the box, with the option to upgrade to digital when your team is ready. This makes it a smart, future-proof investment for businesses that want to migrate to digital at their own pace—without replacing their entire radio fleet.
Security You Can Count On
A 16-code voice inversion scrambler protects your communications in analog mode, keeping sensitive conversations private. In digital mode, robust NXDN 15-bit encryption provides an additional layer of security.
All-Day Battery Life
A 12-hour battery life ensures your team stays connected through full shifts without interruption. For teams managing multiple radios, a multi-unit charger base station is a smart addition to keep everything powered and ready to go.

Durability & Water Resistance
How durable is the NX-P1300NUK?
Built to take a beating. This radio meets 11 MIL-STD 810 C/D/E/F/G environmental standards, including resistance to driven rain, extreme temperatures, and shock from drops. It's designed for light-to-medium commercial use—think warehouses, grocery stores, and manufacturing floors where conditions can be unpredictable.
Is the NX-P1300NUK waterproof?
It is water resistant, rated at IP54/55. Moisture in the air, splashes, and light rain won't cause issues. However, it is not designed for full submersion. If the radio is accidentally submerged, power it off immediately and allow it to dry completely before use. All interfaces must be fully sealed with appropriate covers or designated Kenwood accessories to maintain the IP rating.

The NX-P1300NUK delivers a full 12 hours of battery life on a single charge—enough to keep your team connected through a complete shift without interruption. It comes with a 2,000 mAh lithium-ion battery as standard, with an optional 2,550 mAh battery available for extended use.
Are there options for extended battery life or multi-unit charging?
Yes. If you're managing a fleet of radios, a multi-unit charger base station is a smart investment. It keeps all your radios charged and ready to go, so there's no downtime between shifts.
Features & Functionality
Is this radio analog or digital?

What is the Second PTT feature?
The Second PTT (Push-to-Talk) feature allows supervisors to send instructions to different staff members on separate channels—simultaneously. For example, a floor manager can direct warehouse staff on one channel while coordinating with receiving staff on another. No confusion, no crossed wires.
Is communication secure?
Yes. In analog mode, a 16-code voice inversion scrambler keeps conversations private. In digital mode, NXDN 15-bit encryption provides an additional layer of security. Your team's communications stay between your team.
