RELM/BK Radio
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the BK Radio KNG Portable radio
from RELM Wireless.
RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL
INFORMATION, AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS
The KNG APCO Project 25 radio offers an array of programmable
functionality to help radio users get the most out of their portable
communications. Check with your RELM/BK Radio dealer or
communications officer for information on the programmed functions of
your radio prior to operation.
BEFORE USING YOUR PORTABLE 2-WAY RADIO,
READ THIS IMPORTANT RF ENERGY AWARENESS AND CONTROL
INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE
COMPLIANCE WITH THE FCC’S RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES.
This manual contains information concerning the operation procedures
for the BK Radio KNG Portable radio. The KNG has been designed to
meet the tough requirements of today’s communications environment.
Please take a moment to read the information in this manual so you can
get optimum performance from your new radio.
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled
conditions, where users have full knowledge of their exposure and
can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC limits. This
radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or
any other use.
FCC Requirements
Your radio must be properly licensed by the Federal Communications
Commission prior to use. Your BK Radio dealer can assist you in meeting
these requirements. Your dealer will program each radio with your
authorized frequencies, signaling codes, etc., and will be there to meet
your communications needs as your system expands.
Safety Precautions
• Do not operate the transmitter in close
proximity to blasting caps.
• Do not operate the radio in an explosive
atmosphere (petroleum fuels, solvents, dust,
etc.) unless your radio is an intrinsically safe
model designed for such use.
This 2-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF)
spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a
distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and
receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy; other forms
include electric power, radar, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however,
should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy,
which when used improperly can cause biological damage. Very high
levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.
The energy levels associated with radio waves from portable 2-way radios,
when properly used, are not great enough to cause biological damage.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health and industry work with
organizations to develop standards for exposure to RF energy. These
standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers
and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include
substantial margins of protection. All 2-way radios marketed in North
America are designed, manufactured and tested to ensure they meet
government established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers
also recommend specific operating instructions to users of 2-way radios.
These instructions are important because they inform users about RF
energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it.
Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF
energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance
with established RF exposure limits.

KNG User’s Manual
RELM/BK Radio
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION REGULATIONS
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy
exposure limits for portable 2-way radios before they can be marketed in
the U.S. When 2-way radios are used as a consequence of employment,
the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their
exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can
be facilitated by the use of a product label directing users to specific user
awareness information. Your BK Radio 2-way radio has a RF exposure
product label. Also, your BK Radio owner’s and service manuals include
information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure
and to satisfy compliance requirements.
RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE AND CONTROL GUIDELINES
AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/
controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following
procedures.
Guidelines:
•
Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.
•
User awareness instructions must accompany device when
transferred to other users. Do not use this device if the operational
requirements described herein are not met.
Operating Instructions:
COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS
Your BK Radio 2-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number
of national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) for
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio
complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/
controlled RF exposure environment at operating duty factors of up to
50% transmitting and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use only.
In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure
guidelines, your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it
is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in
Standby Mode. Note: The approved batteries supplied with this radio are
rated for a 5-5-90 duty factor (5% talk - 5% listen - 90% standby), even
though this radio complies with the FCC occupational RF exposure limits
and may operate at duty factors of up to 50% talk.
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To
transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls,
release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important
because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when
transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
•
Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of face with the
microphone (and the other parts of the radio, including the
antenna) at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the nose. Keeping
the radio at the proper distance is important because RF
exposures decrease with distance from the antenna. Antenna
should be kept away from eyes.
•
When worn on the body, always place the radio in a BK Radio
approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this
product. Using approved body-worn accessories is important
because the use of BK Radio or other manufacturer’s nonapproved accessories may result in exposure levels which
exceed the FCC’s occupational/controlled environment RF
exposure limits.
•
If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using
the radio in the intended use position in front of the face, then
ensure the antenna and the radio are kept at least one inch (2.5
cm) from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio at the
proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease
with increasing distance from the antenna.
•
Use only BK Radio approved supplied or replacement antennas,
batteries, and accessories. Use of non-BK Radio approved
antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed the FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
Your BK Radio 2-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure
standards and guidelines:
•
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of
Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091 and
2.1093
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
•
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.11999 Edition

Code Guard Operation
Analog Squelch Control
Sub-audible signaling (CTCSS/CDCSS) is used to allow a group of
radios to be selectively called in an analog system. Programming the
receive code guard equal to zero allows for Carrier Squelch operation,
where the radio will unmute whenever a carrier is detected regardless
of the transmitted Code Guard.
APCO Project 25 Squelch Control
Network Access Codes (NACs) provide the digital equivalent of analog
sub-audible signaling (CTCSS/CDCSS) allowing a group of radios to
be selectively called within a system.
TXD
Microphone
NOTE: When using a channel programmed for mixed mode transmit
the signal will be transmitted in the mode selected by the TX Digital
selection. Or if programmed for Mixed Mode Talkback, the radio will
transmit in the mode of the last received channel while the “RX” icon
is displayed. (See Mixed Mode Operation.)
If the length of your message exceeds the
programmed Time-Out Timer setting, the
transmitter automatically shuts off and a tone
sounds. To continue transmission, release the
PTT switch, then press it again and continue
talking.
If the Transmit Indicator does not glow and a tone
sounds, you are on a receive-only channel or the
KNG User’s Manual
Users in the same area (using the same NAC) can be further divided
into Talk Groups, with each group having its own Talk Group ID
(TGID). Group Calls are made by designating both the users’ NAC
and TGID.
Each radio also has an individual P25 unit ID. A Unit-to-Unit call
contains the addressee’s NAC, and uses the addressee’s P25 unit ID
instead of the TGID.
When operating in Digital Mode, each channel can be programmed to
use either Normal squelch or Selective squelch.
Normal squelch is used to mimic analog operation. Signals are
only qualified with the programmed NAC. TGIDs and P25 Unit IDs
are ignored. Each digital channel is programmed with a receive NAC
and a transmit NAC. When an incoming signal’s NAC matches the
channel’s programmed receive NAC, the radio unmutes. The default
NAC is 0659 ($293 hex).
RELM/BK Radio
17
The digital equivalent of carrier squelch is achieved by programming
the receive NAC = 3966($F7E hex). The radio will unmute when a
digital signal with any NAC is detected. The 3966 ($F7E hex) NAC is
reserved for receivers and is not allowed as a transmit NAC.
Selective squelch is used for processing Group Calls and Unit-toUnit Calls. TGIDs are assigned on a per-channel basis. Users can
be separated into Talk Groups with each group having its own TGID.
Then, on channels programmed for Selective squelch, the incoming
signal’s NAC and TGID must match the channels programmed
receive NAC and TGID for the radio to unmute. The default TGID
is 1.
The TGID value 65535 ($FFFF hex) is used to effect an “All Call”.
If the radio receives a signal with a matching NAC and the TGID =
65535 ($FFFF hex), it will unmute. Also, if the radio’s programmed
TGID is 65535 ($FFFF hex), it will open on any signal with a matching
NAC, ignoring the incoming TGID. A TGID = 0 means “no one”. If
the radio is programmed with the TGID = 0, it will accept incoming
group calls containing the “All Call” TGID, and correctly addressed
Unit-to-Unit calls only.
Mixed Mode Operation
The receiver and transmitter are capable of operating in analog wideband (25 kHz channel spacing), analog narrow-band (12.5 kHz channel
spacing) and APCO Project 25 Digital Mode.
Each channel’s Receive and Transmit Mode can be set independently as
follows:

Transmit Encryption Key Selection
Encryption Operation
The radio may optionally be configured for Secure communication on
channels operating in Digital Mode. No encryption is available for analog
channels.
Required Setup
The radio can hold up to 32 DES or AES encryption keys. Each
channel is assigned a default key for transmit. The key can be locked
to the channel, or if programming allows, a transmit key other than the
default key can be selected from the radio’s Key Pick List. If a key
is selected from the pick list, it will be used during transmit on every
channel that allows selectable keys.
Follow the steps below to select the encryption key.
Radios that have the DES/AES factory option for encryption must
have encryption keys loaded with an APCO Project 25 compatible key
fill device such as the Motorola KVL 3000 Plus, using a BK Radio
keyloader cable. The radio can hold up to 32 AES and/or DES keys.
After loading keys in the radio, the KNG PC programming software
must be used to configure the radio’s key table and to assign default
transmit keys to each channel.
Radios that have the OTAR factory option support Over-the-Air
Rekeying of encryption keys (OTAR). The KNG PC programming
software must be used to enable OTAR and to mark the channel(s)
that will communicate with the Key Management Facility (KMF). In
addition, the radio must have key encryption keys (used only to encrypt
other keys) loaded with an APCO Project 25 compatible key fill device
such as the Motorola KVL 3000 Plus, using a BK Radio keyloader
cable.

Priority Scan (PSCN)
Priority Scan enables the radio to receive on any channel while
monitoring for a message on the designated priority channel(s). The
radio samples each priority channel at a preset rate (.25-2.0 seconds)
regardless of activity on any other channel. Priority Scan operates
only while the radio is not transmitting and can be used in combination
with scan operation.
Up to two priority channels can be programmed on a radio wide

The two channels, designated as PR1 and PR2, are periodically
sampled for activity, even if a different transmission is being monitored.
Activity on PR2 preempts activity on any of the non-priority channels.
Receptions on PR1 have priority over any other channel, including
PR2.
Either priority channel can be programmed as a fixed channel, tied
to the Channel Selector knob, or programmed OFF. If the radio is
programmed to transmit on PR1, transmissions will occur on the first
priority channel when operating in Priority Scan Mode.
Priority Scan can be used in combination with Code Guard. If a
message is received on a priority channel, the radio receiver locks on
to the priority channel and checks to see if the proper Channel Guard
value is present. If the signal contains the proper Channel Guard value,
the radio receives the message. Otherwise, the radio will re-check the
channel every 4 seconds, until the activity on the channel ceases.
If enabled the user can use the keypad to change the priority channels.
The Priority Channel selection can be programmed to a programmed
