• 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 am new to Kenwood. I do have a TS-2000 though and I love it. I have a bunch of Motorolas and ICOMs. So excuse all my questions.

I just purchased a TK-730H (ALHTK-730H-1) and a TK-790H (ALH 22933210). So far from the research I have done I have come up with this:

TK-730H - Software = KPG-7D Ver. 2.01, Cable = KPG-4

TK-790H - Software = KPG-44D Ver. 2.02, Cable = KPG-43

Is this correct? Are there any newer versions of software?
If the software versions are current and correct I think I may have obtained the software.

The cables are a different story. I found the 790 cable on eBay but it cost over $100 with shipping. Does anyone know of a cheaper source?

The TK-730 cable is all over eBay, but I am not sure which seller to purchase it from? Any recommendations?

Also, will I be able to program the 2M ham frequencies into both radios? If so, is there any special thing I need to do to get it to work.

Thanks,
Mike
