FleetSync
FleetSync is a general term for the proprietary KENWOOD message communication system using MSK (Minimum Shift
Keying) modulation. This message communication system can be used only in an Analog Conventional system and LTR
Trunking system. The function identifies individual transceivers, and allows for text message and GPS data
communications.
The transceiver can be connected to a PC or external devices since FleetSync also supports serial data communication.
12.1 Basic Configuration for FleetSync
This section describes the basic parameters used for various communications using FleetSync.
About Own ID (Fleet (Own)/ ID (Own))
Communications using FleetSync use a FleetSync ID, an identification code which consists of a 3-digit (100 to 349) Fleet
number and a 4-digit (1000 to 4999) ID number.
Each transceiver is identified by the FleetSync ID. To initiate various communications using FleetSync, own FleetSync ID
(Fleet (Own)/ ID (Own)) needs to be configured for the transceiver. One Fleet (Own)/ ID (Own) can be configured for each
transceiver.

FleetSync Baud Rate
FleetSync Baud Rate is the data baud rate for the MSK modem used for FleetSync.
FleetSync Baud Rate configuration for the transmitting and receiving parties must be configured for the same baud rate.
Configuration
1200 bps This configuration is recommended for regular data communications.
With this configuration, a user can transmit more data in shorter time as compared with 1200 bps.
2400 bps However, errors are more likely to occur as communication proceeds at higher speeds.
The optimum data communication area is smaller than that of 1200 bps.

FleetSync II
FleetSync II is a new FleetSync format utilizing FEC (Forward Error Correction) technology. By using this error correction
method, more reliable data communication can proceed compared with the original FleetSync format.
With FleetSync II, additional bits are added to handle error correction. Therefore, the data length is 4 times longer than that
of the original format.
Note
The FleetSync II format has no compatibility with the original FleetSync format.
