TK 3302 UHF

[ade1b]

Hello all
I am kind of new to this so forgive me if this is a dippy question
I have 2 kenwood TK-3002 and I have the programing software etc. I am running standard 400 to 470mhz
my question is this,
When I log into the 16 frequencies from my pc via the cable can I change say ch1 from 449.31250 to say 449.32250 to give my radios their own frequency. Or wont it work?
Thanks for any tips advise
Ade

Legality issues aside, yes, that would work.

Legality issues? I'm sorry, but I fail to see any.

I think he means, do you have a license for the frequencies? Technically you could change the frequency to whatever you want (within the parameters of the radio) but your license will restrict you to using only a small proportion of this spectrum.

Even if the OP didn't live in the UK ,why on earth would there be legal issues programming a channel into a radio?? I also saw no mention of transmitting on the said frequencies.

Thanks for coming back to me, I have a uk Ofcom licence for the 449 MHz range. All I was wanting is a clear frequency that I can use without others trying to join in whilst we are on a road trip. Having either children or some trucker on the same channel is a pain.

The legality issues being any licensing requirements that may exist in the OP's country.

It just goes to show even if you make a point to disclaim something on this forum, people still want to start a debate over it.

Exactly. I actively avoid this at work. Someone always wants to argue.

This is why the "disclaimer" was there.

I'm not sure how it works in the UK, but over here, the Federal Communications Commission in almost all cases licenses for specific frequencies. You would only be permitted to transmit on frequencies you are specifically licensed for. There are only a few types of licenses you can get from the FCC that would allow programming random frequencies you choose on your own. This is where a legality issue may arise. Transmitting outside the frequency you are licensed for -might- land you on the wrong side of the law.

Like I said, things may be different in the UK, but you should make absolutely sure you are licensed for the exact frequency before you transmit. Choosing random frequencies can cause interference to other licensed users, which can lead to complaints, enforcement action, etc.

What are the main default frequencies for the TK3302 please?

 

[mmckenna]

None. A factory fresh US market TK-3302 will be delivered from the factory with no channels programmed.
They can be programmed to frequencies between 450MHz and 490MHz. Some dealers may program them for you. The only way to know what the radio is programmed with is to read it with the software.
