This Kenwood NX-1700 VHF radio boasts a full spectrum of features that most other radios cannot compete with. This radio is water resistant and can be used in both race and chase applications.

The NX-1700 requires less power to transmit at 50 watts. This means less battery draw, and the capability to transmit at full strength when your battery isn't charging. The NX-1700 makes the ultimate race or chase radio!

Race version includes the intercom interface cable, Chase versions are meant to use with hand microphones. 

The NX-1700 is the same size and utilizes the same brackets as the TK-7360 - making it an easy upgrade. The most notable differences are 132 more channels, a metal cover on the circuit board for additional shielding, lower TX amperage, better frequency stability, a higher wattage audio output for a louder external speaker and less audio distortion.

Make sure to use the cable

I purchased this radio 2 days before I left on a 4 day guided trip. Thinking it was a plug and play type situation I replaced my old Kenwood PCI radio with this new version. The only thing that didn't work was the actual radio traslnsmission. I didn't know I had to also use the new radio to intercom jumper cable. I disconnected the one that was on the new radio and used the one already in my car. PCI was Contacted and thru their tech department my problem was solved and the cable I didn't use ( My Fault ) is on its way to my location. First class operation! Thanks.

Glad we could figure out the issue and get you dialed for your next ride!
