My business partner and I are looking at setting up a repeater for multiple users to lease time on. And it is my understanding that Fleetsync and MDC do the exact same job by Identifying the radio that is transmitting. We are looking at the pros and cons but I'm leaning probably more toward the...

Has someone checked the SINAD of these radios at the bottom of the 2m band to see if there is an appreciable difference? If you had a K2 radio on APRS, or perhaps as a repeater receiver, and you replaced it with a K radio, would there be a significant difference in receiver performance? Or is...

Looking for something similar to the Motorola APX8000 portables that support VHF, UHF, and 700/800 MHz. I like how Kenwood portables such as the NX-5200 can support multiple protocols such as P25, DMR, NXDN, and Analog but what about multiple band splits?

We're looking at a radio system upgrade and I'm curious at what others in the Oil & Gas industry are using. We're familiar with Motorola XPR7580s on a Cap Max trunked system, and even APX4000s on an Astro25 System. Anyone using Kenwood, VF Johnson, Hytera, or even Tait? They obviously need to...

Hi This is interesting. We all know there is a chip shortage. And there is a shortage of new Kenwood's. I think The DTMF chip is part of Kenwood's problem. The TM-D710GA is being sold again BUT serial number B8610000, and above no longer has the DTMF decode ability so the wireless remote in...

Does anyone know how to enable the auto backlight on the TK-5220. I have the latest programming software from Kenwood. But under the Optional Features 1 tab -the auto backlight selection is greyed out.

Hello All. I was chatting with mmckenna about this a couple days ago and thought I would take it to the masses: I have a Kenwood TM-V71A in my truck. NMO mounted Laird 5/8 antenna with an SWR of 1.1 on 146mhz. Install is as tight as a drum. As it pertains to 2M SIMPLEX will I get any...

Greetings, First time posting. Our agency has two tk-5720 in our cruisers. Since the past summer, the units have been resetting themselves (power down and back on), at random times. They have been sent back to Kenwood and "reprogrammed" with no success several times. Is anyone else having...

I'm not sure if something like this exists already, I know there is one for motorola...but I was tired of typing and typing IDs from a spreadsheet into D1N, so I made a spreadsheet that I can paste the IDs into, and it formats them correctly to be pasted directly into the ID list. Please give it...

Hi, I am hoping somebody can help me. I just purchased 3 TK-8180 K-2s, used on Ebay for my ham radio use. We use the 7180s at my VFD, and I love everything about them, so the UHF version made sense to me. I tried to program it with the VFD's computer and it comes up "USE SJ-180!". I understand...

Hello. I have recently purchased 4 Kenwood TK-840 radios on ebay, I am able to program 3 of them but the 4th powers on and flashes "UNPROG" and I can not figure out how to get it to go into program mode from either the software or the radio itself. Any suggestions? Is the there a special key...

I'm looking to buy a good to excellent condition Kenwood TK-2312, with accessories. I'm in Canada; will PayPal. Thanks.

In the coming days we're getting a shipment of VP5430's with the KNB-L2 batteries and the KSC-Y32K intelligent chargers. We're looking to order extra batteries as spares and since the chargers do not have an extra charging slot for the battery I was wondering if Kenwood has a gang charger that...

Hello All! My tiny local radio shop went out of business because the owner passed. The owners kids put all the stuff for sale in an estate. I acquired 4 Kenwood NX-800's that are read and write protected from the estate sale. I do have the "Engineer" version of KPG-111D v1.40, I am just unaware...

I’m using a Kenwood NX-1200 AVK that I programmed to use on duty with the ambulance service I work for. I’m available to receive transmissions from dispatch and I can hear myself on the radios of other units when I transmit, but it seems that dispatch can’t hear me as I get no response when I...

My company just purchased a bunch of NX 3000 and NX 5000 radios. These are brand new, with the latest firmware updates. I have a single deck in my office (5800), and a dual deck (5700 - 5800) in my vehicle as well as a portable. These 3 all are all set up for Commercial NXDN, and Ham Analog and...
