Seamless Integration of Zetron Products with Kenwood Radios
Simpler, seamless integration. Smoother project implementation. Improved system performance. These are just a few of the benefits that result from the integration of Zetron and Kenwood equipment.
Since Kenwood’s acquisition of Zetron, Zetron has developed a number of technical information documents, cables, and cable drawings that are designed specifically to simplify the integration of Zetron and Kenwood products.
M38A Repeater Panel BASELINE PRODUCT
The Zetron Model 38 Repeater Panel is a flexible, remotely programmable repeater tone panel that converts any station capable of duplex operation into a full featured repeater. The Model38 is an ideal replacement for older card-per-user tone panels, eliminating time consuming trips to remote repeater sites as well as the high cost of individual tone cards for each customer. With a Zetron Repeater Panel, a system operator can add or remove customers without travelling to the repeater site. Up to 60 different customers or user groups can be accommodated by a single Model38. (With the 50CTCSS/18DCS option, up to 68 users can be accommodated.) The Zetron Model38 is an ideal choice for retrofitting existing repeaters or developing new shared systems.

The Zetron Model 37 RepeaterMan repeater controller makes repeater control simple and economical, without sacrificing traditional Zetron quality or performance. The Model 37 and a pair of low cost simplex mobiles or a single duplex-capable radio create a sophisticated one or two-user repeater. The Model 37 can also be used to add a second user to an existing single user repeater.
