KENWOOD KRK-14HV

[Elfin]

Hi All,

is there any way to make KENWOOD KRK-14HV remote control head installation Kit containing KRK-14HV and KRK-15B for EF Johnson(Kenwood) Viking VM5000 work with nx5000?

it is absolutely same as for NX-5000, fits well, even part numbers are same but when installed, the viking logo followed by "radio failure" pops up on the screen.

It does not accept regular nx5000 firmware upgrade either, just spits out - data error.

Negative. May look the same but the circuits are different. Get the correct kits. Save the headache for later.

thanks, understood. do you know if it is KRK-14 or 15 which do not let work with NX? may be there is a chance to save by not buying both new ones, I hope that at least the connecting cable is same

The viking 14 and 15 and the NX 14 and 15 are different. typical price for the NX is 133 for the 14 and 45 for the 15.

It's the V (HV) that's the problem. Been through this myself. There's a reason those two have been sitting on eBay so long.
