it auto reset when i powered it back on
nickcarr ,thanks for the help on tge mod.
I need some advice which antenna would be the best for this radio ,as far as range,or what do i look for in buying a good antenna ? These are prob stupid questions but i have no clue on antennas.
yes it will work if you take out the R768 resister. have already done this and it will work. when you take out the resister and power it back up the display will read: WAIT and then it will reset and your ready to start programming again.......
Kenwod TM-281 Mod. Take out the r768, Turn it back on,you will see wait while it resets it's self and then you are ready to go. If you use a solder pen put a neddle or the tip of a sharp knife with a little pressure on the resistor,touch one end of that little baby for a split second and it will pop up. Be sure you don't leave it loose in the radio! Find it. Enjoy
You have to use a little bit of force. I wouldn't use a knife though as you could potentionally scratch another component or worse yet -- a tracing.
Use a small screwdriver (watch size is best) -- they're relatively sharp and will easily poke the resistor off.
A pair of *fine-tip* tweezers can do the trick too.

Yes taking out that resistor will open up the tx and receive. I belive to 170 mhz. I know I have marine band freqs in mine in the 160mhz.
