Hi, I am looking for some help or advice on what to do with a problem I am currently having with a Kenwood TK-5310G UHF portable radio. I decided today to look at the test mode for the radio and clicked on the Battery Warning Level. Well i clicked on transmit and now it is flashing that i...

I am having trouble finding information regarding adjusting the power on a Kenwood TK-830H. I am unable to find a service manual. I have searched this forum and others, but have found no information on this process. I have programmed the radio with KPG-7D. The software does not seem to...

Hi, I belong to a volunteer fire department and we have a private channel that we use that is connected to a repeater system, which we are able to talk on county wide with no problems. We are dispatched by our local 911 center, and then once a unit responds were placed onto an operations...

Does anyone know where I can get programming software for kenwood TK3140 as I can not find it anywhere on the internet. I have looked on the Kenwood website and it says I have to look on listed websites and when I have there isn't any so any help would be great Thanks Phil

Hi all! Just got TK-790H CDF version. I've never heard about CDF radios before and recently found that it's special version for Fire Dpt. (e.g. California FD). Also tried to understand differences between CDF and regular radio. Firstly I found non-standard jumper configuration. One jumpers was...

I have inherited the management of 6 Kenwood TK-790 mobile radios. I thought they were all the CDF build, but after running into problems trying to update the program in one of them, I looked more closely and am quite certain now that they are not, at least not all of them. How do I tell if...

Hello all, I have recently started a new feed. Since being approved and initial broadcast, I have been getting ticking, thumping and static sounds. I have tried several different pieces of equipment, Baofeng uv-5r & uv-b5, Kenwood tk 2170, and a bearcat 855 scanner. I figured It was the sound...

i was wondering if anyone knew the factory password for "embedded message with password" for reading data from radio. it is not locked out. but i would like to set my own password. thanks

Just recently my TK-290 has given up the ability to scan. I even tried reassigning a new key & it still would not come up. Is this a common issue with this radio?

I need some help with this one. I have a kenwood tk 880-1 uhf 450-490mhz. I recently programmed the radio with my county's frequencies. The radio accepts the code plug with no problem. Now here comes the tricky part. When I go to power off the radio and power it back on it gives me a blank...

I have a kenwood tk 880 with the band split of 485-512mhz. Is it possible to change the band split to 450-490mhz. I tried programming the radio with this band split. the programming took but when i key the radio mic up i hear a loud beep and it wont transmit. Is it possible to change the band...

I have a Kenwood Tk 840 uhf mobile radio. I have been studying the software and trying to figure something out with the radio that has been bugging me. Every time i release the mic, there is a weird sound that transmits. Is there a way to disable the sound. I have a copy of the sound and can...

Is there such a beast? I have a box of nice Motorola desk mics, and I'd like to use two of them on my Kenwood TM-D710As. If I weren't lazy, I could make an adapter (if the mics are compatible with the radios; I've haven't investigated that). But I'd much rather buy something nice that someone...

I read a post recently that asked questions about removing certain 0 ohm resistors resulting in making a 2M radio a 20cm radio in a Kenwood 281A. My question is can a switch be put across that path to make a 281A a dual band traciever? Has anyone tried this mod, and how does it work?

I am curious if anyone has any experiance with using Icom Digital IDAS radios on a Kenwood nexedge IP conventional digital networked repeater system? I am not talking about the trunking portion, but the digital conventional side. Thankyou everyone!

Hi, I got a kenwood tk 840 uhf mobile radio. I got it programmed but am highly confused on how to do a scan list. I have the scan option turned on but the radio only shows a small "s" for scan but actually wont scan. I tried to make a scan list but it will only let me scan the first 2...

Hello all! I got a TK-250 and one TK-250(G) a while ago, but haven't done anything with them until recently. Anyway, I got the programming cable, a USB version- not USB-Serial adapter. I've tried using DosBox to run KPG23D and it works just fine except for the fact that the software won't...

Hi all, I have a kenwood tk 3312 uhf portable radio. It's a very good radio and I like the features and the complexity. I just have one question about a programming issue that I was looking to get help with. This radio has the option to show the caller id of another individual with a mdc...

Hi, I recently bought the UHF kenwood TK 3312 portable. Currently i am trying to figure out how to set up the 2 tone function correctly. I have 3 different sets of tones i need to place in to my radio. I went under the 2 tone function menu and placed the tone numbers in the 2 tone decode 1, 2...

Hey guys, I do SAR in Colorado and I purchased a Kenwood TK-280 2-way radio. I am using an antenna given to me by the generous person who does the radios for our organization. I am picking up static on almost every single channel except for our home channel (155.160) and NOAA...
