Kenwood PKT-23K UHF Radio 4 Pack

Kenwood PKT-23K UHF Radio 4-Pack: lightweight team comms for retail, schools, and hospitality

UHF 451–470 MHz · 1.5 W output · 4 channels · 3.9 oz per radio · up to 15 hrs runtime · IP54 rated

The Kenwood PKT-23K 4-Pack equips small businesses, retail floors, schools, and hospitality crews with simple, clear two-way voice without the bulk. Each radio weighs just 3.9 oz and slips into a pocket, with reliable UHF coverage for day-to-day team coordination. Because the PKT-23K operates on UHF business-band frequencies (451–470 MHz), it requires an FCC business radio license to operate legally in the U.S.

Who it's for

It is built for teams that need discreet, easy-to-use radios for short-to-medium range indoor and outdoor coverage. The 4-pack is a fit for retail stores, restaurants, schools, warehouses, and event staff who want to equip a full shift at once — and who are set up with (or ready to obtain) an FCC business license. It is not ideal for casual or recreational users who want a license-free radio out of the box, or for operations needing long-range, high-power coverage across large outdoor sites.
