Kenwood ProTalk PKT300 Two-Way Radio
At under 5 ounces and roughly the size of a deck of cards, the Kenwood PKT-300 is one of the most compact business radios on the market — but don't let the size fool you. This little radio delivers 2 watts of transmit power, covering up to 275,000 square feet indoors and 1–2 miles outdoors, making it a reliable workhorse for restaurants, retail stores, warehouses, and hospitality venues.
Built for a Full Shift — and Then Some
A 14-hour battery life means your team stays connected from the opening shift to the last call. No scrambling for chargers mid-day. No dropped communication during peak hours. Just reliable, consistent performance when your operation needs it most. Need to power multiple radios? A multi-unit charging station keeps your entire fleet ready to go.
Crystal-Clear Audio in Any Environment
Enhanced Kenwood audio technology cuts through background noise to deliver crisp, clear communication — even in loud kitchens, busy sales floors, or crowded event venues. Your staff will spend less time saying "say that again?" and more time taking action.
Organize Your Team With 6 Channels
With 6 programmable channels, you can segment communication by team, department, or task. Front-of-house on channel one, kitchen staff on channel two — clean, organized, and efficient. Need more flexibility? The PKT-300 can be upgraded to support up to 16 channels.
Hands-Free Operation
The built-in VOX (Voice-Activated Transmission) feature allows hands-free communication when paired with an external microphone or compatible headset. For staff who are always on the move — carrying trays, stocking shelves, or managing a crowd — that's a significant advantage.
Durable Enough for the Job
The PKT-300 is rated IP54 for dust and water resistance and meets MIL-STD 810 C/D/E/F/G standards across 11 categories. It holds up in real working conditions, not just ideal ones. The integrated swivel belt clip keeps it secure and accessible throughout the day.
Ready Right Out of the Box
Every PKT-300 ships with a battery, charger, AC adapter, and swivel belt clip holster — everything your team needs to start communicating immediately. Wireless cloning makes it easy to configure multiple radios with identical settings, saving time during setup.
