Command Zones: Radio programming software allows any radio zone to be designated as a Command Zone. A radio user in the field can then populate any command zone with channels from other zones in the radios. Command zones provide a user in the field the ability to quickly build a new zone as appropriate for the current incident.

Continuously Rotating Channel Knob: For users desiring the ability to select more than 16 channel positions using the radio channel knob, the KNG2-P150CMD transceiver is available as an option. Similar in operation to most mobile radio channel selector switches, this allows for a dynamic number of channels per zone. When the selector reaches the last channel in the zone, the radio can automatically reset to the first channel with an audible tone, or an optional soft stop can be programmed. Radios with the 16 channel position knob still allow more than 16 channels per zone. However, channels 17 and above must be selected using the radio keypad.

Legacy Cloning: The new KNG2-P Series portable radios will clone to/from the legacy DPHX/DPH-CMD/DMH Series radios. This will enable direct field implementation of the KNG portables, in conjunction with the legacy DPHX, DPH-CMD, and DMHX radios that are still used in service with the US Forest Service, Cal Fire, BLM, BIA, US Military, etc.  (Requires KAA0701 Universal Cloning Cable)

BK Technologies KNG2 Series radios have now been expanded to include additional features first introduced in BK Technologies DPHX-CMD family of products.  KNG Command radios have a robust wildland fire feature set which includes keypad programming, radio-to-radio cloning, Code Guard Picklists, NAC Picklists, and Talk Group Picklists. In addition to these features, we’ve made some design modifications that came at the request of the firemen, like longer toggle switches, and a continuous channel selector.
