Kenwood NX-5000 dual-mode P25/NXDN radios

[TRob55]

has MIXED MODE and MDC from what I have found so far.

LTR not in this one, it will be forthcoming.

I am working on my radios right now, but there are others things in this release I have not come across yet.

Sounds great, my dealer only sent me the Firmware, I'm trying to contact him so I can update my KPG-D1N and LMC

Do you have the installer i can use to update my 1.20 install?

Evans, please jog my memory...Is any version of the programming software capable of programming channels with "wide" deviation on analog (16K0F3E) as opposed to "narrow" deviation (11K0F3E) for those services where "wide" is still allowed?

 

[mmckenna]

Not 100% sure about the NX-5000 line, but last time I checked, all the KPG softwares limited the radios to narrow band on the 150-174MHz and the 420-470MHz sections of the bands.
I just filed for a "W" license about 2 weeks ago and the form didn't have an option for the KPG-1DNK software. Not sure if the W/WDE license form is just out of date or they are handling it a different way.

I didn't have any trouble at all getting a W license for use on Part 80 frequencies as well as a few channels we use for broadcast RPU's. No trouble at all putting other NX series radios on 2 meters. 70CM's requires the W license due to 70cm amateur allocations being secondary.

Only below 148mhz. All else is narrow for compliance in the US.

[TRob55]

has anyone figured out how to use the channel information key mentioned in the PDF release notes?

 

[Markb]

I don't have the new FW/SW yet, but are you able to assign a key to "Channel info"?
I'd imagine that would be all there is to it.

 

[kd4efm]

I will work on that today (4-12-15) and post any screen shots that I can.

External Accessory Connection Cable for KCH-19M / KCH-20R* *Available in 2015 3Q

KCH-19M - Standard Control Head
KCH-20R - Full Feature Control Head

If I recall from the intro power point, this puts the aux connector on the remote head mount?
Our price guide leaves little to go on. Sorry. I am waiting for the multi RF DECK to come out
so I can put my VHF and UHF together and use the KCH-20R.


* Side Note *
Hands-free operation
To promote driver safety and meet hands-free regulations in certain regions,
NX-5000 series mobile offers external microphone and PTT as options.
NOTE: Connecting to the radio via DB25 terminal on backside of RF Deck
or via optional KCT-72 "Connection Cable" on backside of KCH-19M and KCH-20R*.
KCT-73MIC is not compatible with other NX/TK-mobile radios.
*Available in 2015 3Q

Channel Information Setting (softkey)

I will work on that today (4-12-15) and post any screen shots that I can.

Okay, as plain and as simple as I can put it,
1; for conventional use only

a: Channel Name
b: Zone-Channel Number
c: Frequency
d: Tone / DPL
e: RAN code

Can be programmed to the A/B Lever. Can not be used is DISPLAY FORMAT is used on a PF or menu mode.

(see help file of version 1.40 or newer)

Guessing, but it should be an adapter cable to utilize legacy accessories that would normally plug into a KCT-19.
