    Kenwood NX-3320 and 3320 K2 UID Names not appearing

    You need to either update the unit id list in each radio, or enable OTA Alias on the radios that are not receiving the radio names.

    M17 Project - megathread

    Agreed. This has been on my radar for some time, but I have a hard time pinching my nose to buy a $100 MD380 just to prove I can figure it out then set it on the shelf to be untouched for ages.

    NX-5200 DES 4key encryption

    4 Key DES is only software loaded via KPG-D1N and does not require the SCM module. If you want AES or more than 4 DES keys, you need the SCM module and it unchecks the 4 Key option. The SCM can be programmed by KVL or of by Kenwood key loading software. You cannot have 4 Key and SCM enabled...

    NX5200 issues…….

    Check under the model tab, Product Information Also, just to confirm, that is ARC4/ADP encryption for P25. Unchecking it will clear anything in the multikey list.

    NX5200 DMR question

    DMR Encryption Type set to 1 or 2? Groups ID Scan checked? OVCM? Is OTA Alias used? Those are the things that have tripped me up before. I have no issues between Moto and Kenwood DMR, simplex.

    Cell phone overload due to eclipse.

    I'm not saying there is going to be doom and gloom, but the local municipalities and state agencies keep pushing reminders like this: All issues are going to be "public stupidity" created, i.e. massive congestion if people being to stop on the side of the interstate. It's not going to be a...

    Cell phone overload due to eclipse.

    Yea, my wife is getting out of the office early to drive to my office for the "watch party". We are already having to plan her route avoiding highways, and getting secondary communications plan setup. I really hope it's not as bad as the doom and gloom state agencies are spewing.

    Coax/Antenna Analyzer Recommendations

    It also depends how high you need to go? Is 900MHz high enough, or do you want GHz coverage? I have a NanoVNA and a TinySA, but I did end up getting a RigExperts Stick XPro that does up to 1000MHz. For the quick check, its instantly faster than the NanoVNA, and the app is helpful for capturing...

    NX-5700/5800 dual deck with KCH-20 head randomly powers off

    That beep is the ignition sense timer. I've only experienced this a few times, and only when I used my remote start to warm up the car then get going. If I make a short stop after leaving the house (radio stays on) then restart the truck, the timer resets and I don't have the shutdown issue...

    How do you go about finding an existing tower to lease space for a new GMRS repeater setup?

    The above is IF you can even get one of these tower owners to give you a call back.

    XTL 5000 RECEIVING ISSUE

    Sounds like the anytone is over modulating in narrowband mode, and your radio filtering is clipping. Not a problem with your radio.

    Motorola XPR 7550 Dropout Issue

    I'll second that you need to tune the hotspot for BER. After tuning for BER I have never had problems with any commercial DMR radio (NX-3320, NX-5300, XPR7550e, SL7550, etc.) What does the dashboard say your transmit BER is? I bet its 3+% all the time.

    Kenwood 5700 Firmware Loading Question

    As Evans said, just set the dip switches as final build out, connect it all together, add power and then reflash the whole setup from one of the heads.
