This post is aimed at those who purchased and currently own a KNG / KNG2 series of portable radios. Purchased new or used? I'm seriously considering a KNG2-P150. Purchased online, direct from BK Technologies or through a dealer? What options did you purchase? If through a dealer, who had the best price / service? Does the radio have a standard SMA female connector (not RP)? I'm looking at: the radio, software, programming cable, Li-Ion battery, drop in charger.....I'll use my own antenna.
The rest of the story: I'm interested in using this as a 2 meter HT and to SCAN a phase 1 P25 statewide system. I have a ton of scanners, some work better than others & some don't work worth a darn. From what I've read, they will actually SCAN through a trunked system, not like my G5's that find an active CC & sit there.
I'm asking these questions so I don't make a very expensive mistake. If I do take the plunge on this, there will be LOTS of items listed in the classifieds........sds100, hp-1, hp-2, 996T, pair of Icom F70DT's (P25 enabled), GRE PSR800, Icom R2-R3-R5-R6 (NIB), Alinco DJ-X7T (Might keep this one) and about 25-30 Icom, Kenwood, Yaesu & Alinco HT's and a TON of accessories.
I'd appreciate any & all input from owner / users.
Thanks & 73,
