• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Hi,

Is there anyone out there with the patience to help an old bloke with a couple of tips on operating a TK-830G.

I bought is second hand and just want to set it up so it easily switches between Ch 1-40.
Currently is has settings from the previous owner and i appear to be too stupid to nut out how to delete the previous settings and get it so it's easy to switch between channels 1-40

You don't state which model type you have, 99 or 160 channel (doubt you have a 32 if there are 40+ channels)

Assume 160 channels. Kenwood sets these up as 10 groups of 16 channels (max). In the first group, the rotary knob would give you access to channels 1-16. To access channels 17-32, you would first have to press the group up button once, then spin the knob. This continues through the groups and the rotary knob will select a max of 16 in that group.

If you need to add or delete or rearrange channels/groups, this can only be done with the KPG-7D software and a programming cable.
