• 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.

I have a Kenwood TK-3202L-1 from 2008. I need to program it. What is the part number of the program and what version do I need?

You need KPG-87DN. No idea what version, it will depend on the firmware veraion in the specific radio you have. Having said that, Kenwood radios are pretty flexible on software versions.

What is the difference between KPG-87D and 87DN? How do I find out the firmware version?

I believe the DN software forces 2.5KHz deviation(Post 2013 Narrow Band). that said, the D software should let you select 5 or 2.5KHz deviation, rather than force it,

as for firmware, you will need to read that from the radio. with the radio hooked up, in the KPG-87 software, go to the Tools menu and select 'Radio Information' and it will give you the information you need.

What does the label on the back of the radio say? The whole thing... Also, where did the radio come from?

also, What's the full model number of the software? Where, exactly, did you get it from?

My concern is that you have a mismatch country code. If the radio was from overseas, and you are using US software, or it's a US radio and you are using software from another country, it'll do this.
