kenwood

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...

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...

In the Kenwood catalog, there are versions of the NX-1000 series, one under business radios designated as NX-P1000 (ProTalk), and one under land mobile radios designated as NX-1000 (no P in the model name). I’m wondering what the differences between these models are, if any.

Good afternoon, Is there a way I can program a Kenwood 3820 to still scan with one of the channels in the bank being NXDN with Site roam? What we have is on our main bank is below: 1. Analog 2. Analog 3. Analog 4. NXDN with site roam 5. Analog etc. When we made this program it...

Anybody else have the new NX-1200AVK2 radio (the analog version)? I just purchased a bunch of them along with the KPG-D6N program software since the TK-2312s are being phased out. My issue is whenever I go to read or write to the radio, I get an error message "Ensure that model name and market...

Good morning, I am working to program some new radios, but I am new to the "site roam" world. Local dept here is using a roaming system and we would like to add their frequencies to our main bank (we have permission) but when we do the radio does not display their channel name. Instead it...

Hi, I work in forestry in BC, Canada and my contractor has in the past always "rented" us these ICOM truck radios. This year we have to provide our own so I bought a Kenwood TM-281a. It seems like a really good radio but I'm very confused. With the old ICOM, to use repeaters i would just...

Hello, this is my first post here and indeed my first time to ask a question concerning DMR with which I am very much a newbie. As a part of a large construction project a client has installed two Kenwood THR-D810-E repeaters for use with some 30 or so Kenwood TK-D340 handhelds for security...

My department is in the process of switching our "beloved" Motorola HT1250's out for some new-to-us Kenwood NX300 and NX800 radios. These radio were purchased from a local police department and we are doing all the programming in house. So far, we haven't had many issues, but I am getting a lot...

Later today I have to program 2 Kenwood TK-5820's. What is the most current software/firmware? I have KPG-112D v2.01 and KPG-112DN v2.33 Should either of these work? I am unsure about firmware on radios but they are fairly new. I deal with Motorola much more often and rarely do I program...

I know over analog, these would obviously be compatible, and I'm pretty sure that Kenwood is the only brand that uses NXDN, but Motorola is not the only brand that uses Trbo. In simpler terms, do the Kenwood Digitals have a Mototrbo mode or is it only NXDN?

Hi, I am very new to Digital Voice decoding - but have used SDR# & Airspy for quite some time. I just purchased a Kenwood TK3401D digital PMR - and am attempting to decode digital voice using the guides found for SDR# and DSD+. Unfortunately, DSD+ does not appear to react to transmission from...

Setting Up Your Kenwood TM-V71A Many people are confused about the bands (VHF and UHF) and the two sides (A and B) of this transceiver. I want to clear up this confusion and tell you how I set up my 71A for maximum convenience. Let’s clear up the first thing. The V71A has two sides, left and...

Over the weekend I experienced a problem with our or Kenwood NXR-710 repeater sites connected to site roaming. The area that was affected called and advised that they could not transmit and they were not receiving any radio traffic. Looked at the system had it showed all sites up and running...
