Bonjour j'ai programmé un NX-700 avec le KPG-111D. Après avoir tout programmé tel que lu dans un tk-780 et mis le radio en marche ... meme avec les qt/qtd et les tones bien rentré je capte tout les usagers sur la même fréquence utilisant d'autres tones ....

I hope you understand what I am saying. If you wish to recieve any help or are trying to past on information, then you need to post in English.

No English, no help. Sorry.

Sorry I was reading on the forum using Google translate !!

I just got a NX-700 and programmed it using KPG-111.
I used the same config as my TK-780 : frequencies, QT/QTD Tone and etc ....
But I heard everybody who's talking on the frequencies on different tone .... Is there a place I have to config that I want to use QT/Qdt tone either on the main prog page ???

Not sure I follow you here. Are you saying that the CTCSS tones or DCS tones are not working the way you programmed them?

[paglt78]

Yes that's what I tried to explain. Sorry for my english ;-)

Hello, I have 2 radios Nx-700K. Could you please tell me how I can program on these 2 radios to let them communicate ? Which frequency for each channel, others ?

Do you have a list frequency standard for VHF radio ?

How I can send and receive the signal with 2 radios ?

Thanks

First off, you'll need a license. If you are going to use these for a business, then you need to work through a frequency coordinator who will help you identify and license for appropriate frequencies.

If you are going to use these for hobby (non business use) then you could look at getting your amateur radio license.

Without a proper FCC issued license, you cannot legally transmit with these radios, and you certainly cannot put in random frequencies and use them without a license. The VHF spectrum that these radios operate on are assigned to police, fire, paramedics, local/state/federal government and military. Accidentally transmitting on one of their frequencies will get you into trouble with the law really quick, especially in Southern California where there are not going to be many unused frequencies.

Using them as receive only would be permitted, but by the time you purchase the programming cable and a legal copy of the software, you'd be better off getting a scanner.

Please, do not randomly program these radios and start using them. You could end up transmitting on public safety frequencies, or close enough to them to cause interference. Doing this can put someones life at risk.

You really need to find a radio shop that can help you get what you need. It's going to cost money.

THANKS A LOT FOR ANSWERING.

But how I can TEST the radio without licence ? The software KPG-111D have a TEST MODE function with fews frequencies allready setup. Can I use these frequencies to program on 2 radios and testing the communication ?

Thanks

Testing could be performed with the test frequencies. The best way to do it would be to hook the transmitting radio to a dummy load and an antenna on the receiving radio. Test should be short. Even though they are programmed as test frequencies, they likely are working frequencies for someone, somewhere.

Best thing to do would be to have a proper radio shop do it. The questions you are asking suggest that your knowledge in this field is not extensive. Performing a test won't tell you much unless you can interpret the results correctly.

You are right. I'm new on the radio field. That why i'm here to learn from this forum. I'm very appreciated your help. Thanks very much.
