TK-863G conventional

[wcu02mpa]

I have a TK-863G and I am unfamiliar with programming. I am able to get several conventional channels into it, get it to scan, but I have read that it holds 600 conventional channels. I assume it is programming systems, then groups. Is this set up like a TK-840 where I can scan only 32 channels, but it will hold several hundred? Anyone know where to find a good programming manual? Thanks for any info.

the 863G is kinda a unique beast.

You can have multiple systems porogrammed (up to 32). Each system can have hundreds of channels in each

If you use the KPG-76D software, click on "EDIT" and then "System Information". This will bring up a list of the 32 possible systems. Make System 1 say "Conventional". Then click on System 1 (the gray box 1) and the channel list should appear.

When we first sold the 863G; it was only to conventional users. To get the scan to work in the manor our customers were accustomed to - we only entered one channel per System (which limited the total channel count to 32); and configured the scanning to:
"Fixed System Scan"
"Selected"
"3"
"4"
"1.25"
"2"

and programmed a front panel button for "Scan" (the button labeled SCN), and another button for Del/Add".
