About NX5000

JVCKENWOOD NX-5000 radios are the industry’s first triple-mode digital transceivers designed for public safety, law enforcement, and enterprise use. These radios support NXDN, DMR, and P25 digital protocols, as well as FM analog. NXDN support is included by default, while DMR and P25 require paid options.

The NX-5000 product line includes six base models: three portables (NX-5200, NX-5300, and NX-5400) and three mobiles (NX-5700, NX-5800, and NX-5900). The lineup covers the VHF, UHF, and 700/800 MHz bands. Low-band mobile radios (sorry, no portables) were rumored to be coming in late 2018, but this remains unconfirmed. Many people assume these radios are multiband, offering dual-band or even tri-band operation like some Thales or Harris models. That is not the case: each transceiver operates in a single band.

The radios are rugged and protected against environmental hazards such as water and dust.

They are rated IP67 or IP68 for ingress protection:
