Frequently Asked Questions

What is a two-wire palm microphone?

It's a surveillance-style headset that splits into two cables: one for the palm-held mic and push-to-talk button, and one for the earpiece. The Kenwood KHS-8BL uses this design so radio audio stays private through a clear acoustic tube earphone while you talk discreetly.

Does the Kenwood KHS-8BL come with an earpiece?

Yes. The KHS-8BL kit includes a clear acoustic tube with an earbud for private listening, along with clothing clips for secure cable routing.

How do you connect a palm mic to a Kenwood radio?

The KHS-8BL uses a Kenwood K1 connector that plugs directly into a compatible Kenwood radio's K1 jack — no adapter required. Confirm your radio uses the K1 plug before ordering, and contact us if you're unsure.

What radios is the Kenwood KHS-8BL compatible with?

It's intended for Kenwood radios that use the K1 connector, including the TK-3000, TK-3230DX, TK-3400, NX-P1200, NX-P1300, and PKT-23. Connector and model fitment can vary, so we recommend confirming your exact Kenwood radio model with us before ordering rather than relying on a model name alone.

Is the Kenwood KHS-8BL waterproof?

This listing does not state a waterproof or IP rating for the KHS-8BL. If water or dust resistance matters for your use, contact us and we'll confirm before you order.
