I'm working on reprogramming some old TK-980s for my employer, in an attempt to fix the most boneheaded radio system I've ever seen (800 MHz system with a repeater located behind a hill in a corner of the property, in hilly terrain, no talkaround). My main goal is to program in a talkaround so personnel away from the repeater can communicate. The repeater is completely inaccessible from much of the site and cell service is unavailable, so reliable communication just isn't possible. This has become a life safety issue and management is unwilling to pay our radio shop to reprogram the newer radios (9180s and NX-420s), so the pile of 980s and 930s I found covered in dust in a back corner of the parts room is basically my only hope.
Management does not know the frequencies used, but a coworker with a scanner determined the frequencies in use to be 860.5625 repeater input and 815.5625 repeater output. KPG-49D only allows TK-980s to be programmed as trunking models, and there is no RX/TX frequency programming field, only "FCC Channel". How do I go about programming in a repeater offset?
