Hi guys I’m new here I am also new to radios. I am a school bus driver and we have the Vertex Standard Vx2200 they are programmed in conventional. Any ways I bought a kenwood 820HG-k Type D it’s a used unit the privoius owner said he was using it in conventional it was not trruncked. I paid around $300.00 for the unit I ordered the software 141D only to find out that it does not read the unit. So much researching I did I ended up confused I read that once these radios are programmed they can’t be programmed by anyone else but the original owner like I said the original owner got them programmed for conventional use. He said he did not use any of the trucnking features. So I serched and found out that the software for the D Type is 176DNK I Found it for $75.00 but I am not sure if I should spend more money and at the end for it not to work Please some one advise. My question is if the radio was only originally programmed to be used in a conversational mode will I be able to use the software to program the radio myself. ? Thanks in advance
