A friend of mine just got his Kenwood TK-2107 off eBay. It feels really cheap and we had the hardest time programming it. I finally figured out that we needed an old computer, so we plugged it into an old 386 or 486 running windows 3.1. That worked, now it gets to 100% and says "Programming Complete". But, we still can't seem to get it to rx or tx on any of the channels. If you go to the desired channel, and hold the squelch button, it will open up and you can hear the transmissions. But, no matter what we set the squelch at (0-9), you can not hear anything unless you hit the button.
Does this sound like we have a defective radio, or should I assume since this is a Singapore radio and weighs less than a minitor III that it by nature alone is crappy?
Thanks for any help.
