BK Technologies launches the BKR 5000 portable radio

WEST MELBOURNE, Fla. — BK Technologies Corporation, a holding company with an operating subsidiary that designs, manufactures and markets two-way radio communications equipment for public safety applications, today announced the market introduction of the BKR 5000 portable radio; the first model in the new BKR Series of APCO Project 25 Land Mobile Radio products and solutions. The BKR 5000 radio offers an array of programmable functionality to help first responders get the most out of their tactical communications.

The BKR 5000 comes in three tiers allowing maximum flexibility and customization for the radio user’s mission-critical needs and has been designed to meet the requirements of today’s tough Public Safety communications environment. The BKR 5000 was designed and developed by the BK Technologies engineering team with extensive input from customers to incorporate the features and options needed by first responders, including Bluetooth, GPS, and BK’s long-popular cloning capability. The new form factor includes a top-display, large control buttons for use with heavy gloves, and an IP68 ruggedized housing available in either black or optic yellow. The new intuitive user interface maintains the same ease-of-use characteristics that have been customer-proven and well accepted in the current BKTI products, software, and programming editors; which further allows for an easy transition from current BKTI products to the new BKR Series.

A full line of accessories is available including intelligent battery and charging solutions, IP68 remote speaker microphones, and the popular BK wildland fire alkaline battery “clamshell”. The new BKR 5000 is expected to be a platform that enhances BK’s ability to address significant new vertical markets leading to expanded growth and market share.
