To connect the speaker microphone to the radio:

          For dual-pin models (GPS-2201)

          * Insert the speaker/microphone plugs into the speaker/microphone jacks of the transceiver.

          * Push the connector toward the transceiver until you feel it “snap” into place.

          * To prevent the connector from accidentally coming unseated during use, you may optionally                               

             install the Kenwood locking bracket which is supplied with the transceiver.

          For multipin models (GPS-2211)

          * Insert the guide tab of the Trooper II GPS’s radio connector into the slot just below the radio’s           

              universal connector. 

          * Align the connector with the radio’s universal connector.

          * Tighten the thumbscrew on the connector to secure it to the radio.  Do NOT over tighten.

NOTE: You should ensure that the two-way radio is powered off whenever you connect/disconnect the 

PRYME Trooper II GPS speaker microphone from the two-way radio.

Operation of the Trooper II GPS is transparent to the user.  The user may transmit voice messages by 

pressing and holding the Push-To-Talk button on the side of the Trooper II GPS and then speaking into 

the microphone.  Received calls will be heard Trooper II’s front-firing speaker or through the optional 

listen-only earphone, if one is used.

As long as the Trooper II GPS is connected to the radio’s accessory jack, the radio is powered on, and the 

GPS receiver inside the Trooper II GPS has a valid location fix, the user’s GPS coordinates will be sent as 

data across the radio system at the pre-programmed intervals.  The user can also manually send their 

GPS location by selecting the “Send the GPS Data” option from the radio’s menu.

Note: GPS-2211 model shown.

Other models may vary slightly in appearance.

Radio Connector

This port allows the 

speaker microphone to 

connect to a compatible 

Kenwood 2-way radio.

Microphone Cable

The Trooper II GPS uses PRYME’s 

military-grade RINO™ microphone 

cable.  The cable has a tough 

polymer jacket on the outside and 

Kevlar® reinforcement inside and is 

engineered to last longer and retain 

its shape better than other cables.

Listen Only Earphone Jack

The microphone uses a standard 

3.5 mm mono earphone jack for 

connecting an optional listen-only 

accessory (sold separately).

Swivel Clip

The metal-reinforced 360° 

rotating clip allows the user 

to secure the microphone to 

their clothing.

Rubberized Grips

The grips on each side of the 

GPS-2200 Trooper II™ make it easier 

to hold the microphone

Push-to-Talk Button

Pressing and holding this button 

causes the two-way radio to 

transmit.  The large PTT button is 

easy to operate even when 

wearing gloves.

Speaker

Received signals are 

heard over the loud, 

front-firing speaker.

Polycarbonate Housing

The weatherized housing is made 

of durable high-impact 

polycarbonate.  It meets the 

requirements for MIL-STD-810 and 

has an IP56 rating against dust 

and moisture.

Noise Cancelling Microphone

The noise cancelling microphone reduces 

the amount of background noise 

transmitted over-the-air, making the user’s 

voice clearer and easier to understand, even 

in high-noise environments.

GPS Antenna (Internal)

The Trooper II™ GPS uses an internal high-gain “stealth” GPS antenna.  

Placing the antenna inside the microphone results in a more durable 

design and prevents the GPS antenna from drawing attention.

These settings allow the radio to provide power to the GPS receiver in the PRYME Trooper II GPS.

In order for the GPS receiver in the Trooper II GPS to work properly, the two-way radio that the 

speaker microphone will be used with must be properly programmed using the appropriate 

Kenwood CPS (Computer Programming Software) and programming cable.

NOTE: The information in this section pertains to Kenwood Nexedge NX-200 and NX-300 radios.  

Other radio models may require slightly different programming.
