• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Any dealers in here have a hook up on the replacement/additional key plates for the Kenwood KCH-20R? I just installed my dual deck setup using the KCH-20R and would love to swap out some of the keys!

I found the KCH-20R service manual online.
If you're seeking the Rubber Key Top, the part number is K2K-0139-00.
On www.pacparts.com it's $40.86.
Didn't try East Coast Transistor's site, but it couldn't hurt to look.
Hope that helps.

Those are TK labels. Don't think they will fit the KCH-20 buttons.
I'm still looking for mine from 5 year
They are for the KCH-20 buttons. One of the dead give aways would be the "BT" for Bluetooth and "SD" for SD Card Access . The TK series didn't have Bluetooth or SD Card. Anyway, I sent out 2 packs to the OP yesterday afternoon.
