Your details are so vague that it is hard to figure out which model it may be.

How about you add to this post once you are in possession of the radio , perhaps someone
owns a similar model and can fill you in.

I'll guess it is a TK "something or other" for now.:roll:

I am gonna go out on a limb and guess it is either VHF or UHF or 800Mhz...I could be wrong though

Probably a Ham radio. Could be a dual-bander.

Free is always good!

Kenwood TK-802R

This seems to be a rare or old model.

I found this site that does programming for a fee (I assume): http://www.brinkleyelectronics.com/prog/ken/x01.htm

Here is a site where you can purchase the service manual: http://www.manuals-in-pdf.com/tk802rsc-p-346382.html

I havent been able to find anything on the net about this radio-
the two links previously didnt help much- want to try to program on my own

That radio is programmed by burning a chip each time.
How are you going to get even with the person that gave it to you?

So is this something I even want to try to do or just throw the thing out

 

[Thayne]

Unless you really want to go thru a lot of trouble every time you want to reprogram. I threw 2 newer ones out for the same reason.

I just want to program it once- dont have a need to have to re-program in the future
