Hi all! I've had an account here for quite some time, but never really used the forums.
Anyways, I have all Kenwood NX200/NX300/NX700HK/NX800HK radios for my work (UHF) and FD/other job (VHF).
Specifically relating to the portables, I hope I can explain this easily, on my UHF NX300s, when you turn the radio off, it does not matter where the channel selector knob is located when it's powered down, if you put it back to channel 1 while the radio is off, when you turn the radio back on, it goes back to the home channel.
On both of my VHF NX200s, if you shut the radio off on let's say channel 2, then turn the channel selector knob to back to channel 1, then turn the radio back on, the radio is still on channel 2 (which in essence makes channel 1 on the knob now channel 2). The only was to correct the issue is to go to whatever channel you want as 1, turn the radio off, then turn the knob to 1, then turn the radio back on. This is dangerous in situations where you may accidently bump the channel knob then accidently turn the radio off, then need to turn it back on and immediately make a transmission.
I have the programming software and have compared both radios and cannot find any setting that may change this. The UHF radios in the "zone edit" have none under home channel. I've tried setting the VHF's channel 1 as the home channel, doesn't work. I've looked through all of the other settings and can find nothing. On the VHF's there's one bank with only 5 channels. I even filled the remaining channels with dummy channels hoping that might fix the issue, but negative. I looked through all the other optional features and everything with no luck.
I'm sure this is probably an easy fix, but I can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, John
