KENWOOD Viking Radios are Safe and Simple to Use

The consolidation of EFJohnson’s P25 subscriber portfolio under a single KENWOOD brand signifies the combination of two strengths—EFJohnson’s proven Viking® P25 software expertise and KENWOOD’s recognized hardware quality and reliability. KENWOOD Viking radios are used throughout the world by police, fire, paramedics, military and homeland security personnel. We use smarter technology that is easy to use and easy to maintain.

Perpetual Software License Program
Before today, every time you purchased a P25 land mobile radio you paid for the hardware plus all the software options. In some cases, the software options alone exceed 70% of the radio price. This buying model is outdated, and EFJohnson thinks it’s time the LMR market catches up to the rest of the consumer market. That’s why EFJohnson introduced the industry’s first subscriber radio perpetual software license program, which transforms the way you purchase your radios and adds greater value by extending the life of the software into your next hardware platform - you own the software option forever. And your licenses are easy to manage with our cloud-based tool - Vault™.

A New Generation of Radio Fleet Management

Quickly and easily maintain your fleet of radios and update your radio software with Armada, the industry’s first fleet management and programming software with the most intuitive user interface.

Armada introduces the concept of templates to fleet management. Each user group is able to develop a single profile for its specific agency and designate it as a template. The template is linked to the selected agency’s radio profiles and then as necessary, Armada will download this information into the Viking radio. Programming changes to agency radios only requires an update of the template instead of updating each radio profile. You can also copy and paste an existing template to create new radio profiles for additional agencies.

A Clearer Path to Noise Reduction

To clearly hear the words being transmitted is expected, but to be able to hear the tone of the voice and recognize distress immediately is a true advantage. TrueVoice software-based noise cancellation works in analog or digital mode, eliminates the need for programming noise profiles, and works with any accessory.

Because it is software-based, TrueVoice noise cancellation is standard in both KENWOOD Viking portable and mobile radios.
