Kenwood TK-8360HUs Turns on When Power Supply Turned On.

[9Track]

I have some Kenwood TK-8360HUs and use them on 12v power supplies as base stations. When you turn on the power supply, the radio turns on. Is there a way to disable this? I would prefer to turn on the power supply and manually turn on the radio a little later.

I've not seen anywhere in the Kenwood software to disable this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't have that software on this computer, but….

Look under "Optional Features", probably Common Page 1 for a click box that says something like Power Switch Status Memory. If that box is clicked, it will remember if the radio was on or off when power was removed. When power is restored (turning power supply back on), it will turn itself back on.

If that's not it, let me know. I'll be in the shop tomorrow and can look it up on the correct software.

Power Status is correct. Uncheck it and it will force button power use.

Thanks much to both of you - that was it! It was a great help.
