Kenwood: TH-D75A (or D74A) Belt clip upgrade with Kenwood KBH-10 highly recommended!

[hexagon_keyhole]

I’ve almost dropped my TH-D75A a couple of times thanks to the stock belt clip being way too short. It doesn’t grab my pocket securely, and it barely reaches over my belt. I also tried finding a holster that fits right, but no luck so far.

If you’ve got a Kenwood TH-D75A or D74A, do yourself a favor and upgrade to the Kenwood KBH-10 belt clip. It comes with a few extra screws — the 4 mm ones are the ones you’ll want to use (or you can just reuse your originals). The KBH-10 gives you a longer, sturdier hold whether you clip it to a pocket or belt, and it feels way more secure overall.


The belt clip also works fine with Kenwood KSC-25LSK charging dock.

The clip on my D74A broke, so I purchased that KBH-10 for $7 via Amazon back in 2020. It is a definite improvement.

My D75A clip broke having never used it, never dropping it, etc.

The KBH-10 is the way to go.

I’m looking for a very rugged belt clip since I am a wheelchair user and doing transfers can be hazardous to plastic belt clips. In the metal variety for Kenwood, I’ve only seen the leather belt loop with a metal button-type swivel belt clip.

I’m not sure if the hole spacing matches my Kenwood TH-D74A’s hole spacing. Do you have a part number for the metal belt clip that you purchased? Looking for options since the button style hanger shown above causes the HT to stick out further than I would like. Thanks in advance for yours or anybody else’s assistance!

Hi!

Shortly after I bought my TH-D74, I bought a KBH-11 belt clip. It is longer than the KBH-10 mentioned here, and has worked well for me. I put a KBH-11 on my TH-D75, shortly after I bought the radio last year. The screws are a little longer than the normal Kenwood belt clip supplied with these radios.





I don't have the drop-in charger for these radios. It looks like the radios with the KBH-11 belt clips might not fit in the drop-in charger.

73!

Mine fits into the drop in charger.

The drop in charger has a notch at the back to provide clearance for the longer belt clip.

Thanks! Nice to know the larger belt clip works with the drop-in charger.

Going off the product description, these would fit since it replaces the KBH-10 (and KBH-11) since they have the same hole pattern:

SMKW1002 Swivel Clip Kit for Kenwood Radios – A-Wedge Belt Clip & Mounting Bracket

SMKW1003 Swivel Belt Loop Kit for Kenwood Radios – A-Wedge Leather Belt Loop & Mounting Bracket

Now you have me thinking about getting one of these!

Would a belt clip from a TK-290/390 work?

I wonder if Kenwood “standardized” the hole spacing for the belt clip between their commercial and amateur radio equipment?
