Kenwood Nx700/800 trunking & software

[ghayon]

Hello all users.

I've been trying to buy the programming software for kenwood nx700/800 and was told that I can get it from a dealer in my area. My dealer refuses to sell it to me and so I would appreciate it if anyone can let me know where I can purchase it online. I have already purchased the programming cables from epcom and tried purchasing the software but they said they do not have it.

I need this software to program my NX800 to digital trunk and have my computer communicate with my scanner. I also especially need it because I have no use for my programming cables without it.

Thank you very much and have a good day.

Don't waste your money on 111D because it won't allow you to program a nexedge trunked radio without the .skf file which the system administrator will never give you..

so...?

 

[pachanga22]

So...what?

ghayon, where are you from? My dealer sold it to me.

Will the Kenwood NEXEDGE radios work going through a ICOM IDAS repeater in conventional mode?

 

[radionerd13669]

Will work fine .They use diffrent trunking formats how ever so that will not work

 

[kblazk]

thats good to hear, will an analog repeater pass the digital through it? can it be modified to work?

 

[CommJunkie]

No, an analog repeater will not pass digital. My firehouse is actually looking at upgrading our repeater to digital because we like these radios so much. We use the scramble feature on our analog repeater and digital for simplex for now.

Only in 6.25 kHz bandwidth. The Icom radios and repeaters only do NXDN digital at 6.25 kHz. The Kenwood radios and repeaters do NXDN at 12.5 kHz and 6.25 kHz bandwidths.

Make sure the Kenwoods are programmed to operate at 6.25 kHz or it won't work with the Icoms!

The Icom IDAS repeater set in Digital mode with pass both Digital and Anaog transmissions.
if the repeater is set in analog mode is will only pass that mode traffic

Icom Information

We use the scramble feature on our analog repeater

Scrambling fire comms? Why?

Sorry took so long to get back to ya.

We don't scramble official fire comms, just our private channel.

Okay guys, so I have the 111D software and the proper programming cables. Now, let me explain my scenario. I have two nx700s, one of which is part of my complete business system, and another which belongs to a seperate system. What I want to do is clone my nx700 to my other nx700, to add it to the seperate system. The 111D software limits this ability however, because it requires a .skf file that my system administrator has (and will not give). Is there any way around this? If so, please leave a reply or send me a message. Thanks!

No way around it .Talk with the system admin again.If he doesnt give it to you I guess you out of luck.

Hi ghayon, have you gotten the .skf file from administrator ? If I don't want to clone 2 nx-700, may I load the same program on both the radios ? Could you please explain more how to set these 2 radios to communicate propely ? thanks in advance !
