Kenwood TM-271A Programming Help!!

[firefighter3021]

Hello,

I recently purchased a kenwood TM-271A and had it modified so that I can use it on my fire dept. and ems frequencies, "I am liscensed to TX on these frequencies." I'm can't get the spilts to program into the radio correctly, I have the RX of 156.105 and a TX of 159.525 that relates to a +3.42 split if I'm correct but the radio only goes in 50 increments, I was wondering if there was a way to shrink that down or if I have the split right.
Also, We have repeaters with different tx and rx dpl's such as tx 365 dpl, rx 125 dpl, i was wondering if there was a way to program both dpls on one channel for the repeater.

If someone could help me with these small problems that would be great.

THANKS!!!

This is going on a lot more these days, in a time when surplus commericial equipment is dirt cheap, just boggles the mind.

Seems this is not his 1st time with this...

N4voxgill, Dont be so hypercritical. The 271a is in essence the same radio as the TK-7150, made on the same line just half get the Fcc certification and half the 271a case. Yaesu used to do the same thing with the VX-150 which was absolutely identical except for the type accepted one had a "Vertex" name plate. The 271a even has the option board sockets for voice scrambler,etc. There will be no "splattering" lol.

RTFM! (Read The F* Manual)!!!

Very Easy Fix!! Look at Page 30 of your Kenwood TM-271A Manual..... It tells you how to enter odd splits!!

STORING ODD-SPLIT REPEATER FREQUENCIES
Some repeaters use a pair of reception and transmission
frequencies with a non-standard offset. If you store 2
separate frequencies in a Memory Channel, you can
operate on those repeaters without programming the
offset frequency and direction.
1 Store the desired reception frequency and related
data by following steps 1 to 6 given for simplex or
standard repeater frequencies {page 29}.
2 Turn the Tuning control or press Mic [UP]/[DWN] to
select your desired transmission frequency.
3 Press [F].
4 Turn the Tuning control or press Mic [UP]/[DWN] to
select the pre-programmed reception Memory
Channel in which you want to store the data.
5 Press [MR] (1s).
• The transmission frequency is stored in the Memory
Channel.
