JVC Kenwood exhibits a new 144/430MHz car transceiver under development

JVC Kenwood Corporation exhibited a new 144/430MHz band car transceiver (compatible with APRS/D-STAR) at the Ham Fair 2024, which began on Saturday, August 24, 2024. Although the model name was not indicated, the company said it is currently developing it for release in 2025. In 2007, the company released the D-STAR compatible mobile transceiver “TMW-706/S” exclusively for its own online store as an OEM supply from Icom Inc., but this is the first time it has developed its own product.

The new car transceiver exhibit was a mockup in an acrylic case, with no model name written on it. There was no catalog or explanatory panel, but the monitor on top showed images conveying the image and concept. The design of the operation unit and other parts may be subject to change as development progresses.
