Greetings all. I work in an industry that issues us Kenwood NX-210s with remote mics. We frequently need to change channels during a shift. When you're outdoors and bundled up in the cold it gets very inconvenient constantly unclipping the radio, unlocking it, dialing in your channel, talking, going back, etc. I was wondering if anything like the KCH-21R handheld control head is available for portables or could be adapted to work with them? Sure would make life easier to have the controls on my remote mic and leave the transceiver on my belt.
Also we occasionally need to dial DTMF codes and we're either expected to memorize them or write them down and look them up all the time. Well, the radio has a memory function specifically for that purpose but it isn't programmed. Is there any way this can be done in the field, and if not, how can it be done? I asked our radio guy and he just shrugged, didn't know anything about it. Thanks for any help!
