Kenwood radio programming software tk 730

I thought it would be nice to include it on the repeater-builder site. I noticed that when you save your frequency data from the kpg7d. I found that the first half of the file matches the data in the EEPROM in the base of the radio and the second half of the file matches the data in the control head s of the radio.

So if you had a TK radio that won't program for some reason, like I do, that might give you an alternate programming method. 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.

One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. 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.

Joined Nov 8, Messages I have a kenwood public service mobile that I picked up now that our county has switched over to the P25 digital system.

It is a 50 watt 2m VHF rig. The guy I picked it up from said with Kenwood, if I remove one simple jumper wire, my tranciever will be able to transmit on the 2m ham band.

If consulted a few elmers who have said this is perfectly legal as long as the tranciever stays within bandwidth. Does anybody here have any experience with modifying kenwood public safety radios for amateur radio use? Uses the KPG cable. HT cousin is TK You can use a KPG-4 with a home-made adapter that consists of a RJ-jack, some wire, and a speaker-mic connector.

See these photos of a KPG connector front and rear. See this photo and this schematic of a KPG cable. You can make an adapter cable that will ket you use your KPG-4 on the handhelds that use a KPG very easily using two separate plugs - just use the plug connection info from the schematic.

The earlier KPG has an 8-pin connector RJ style and the center 6 pins are wired the same and the outer 2 pins are not used. If you are careful the 6-pin KPG-4 will work perfectly in the 8-pin mic jack. The plastic tab should only let you put the 6-pin plug into the middle of the 8-pin jack since pins 1 and 8 on the 8-pin jack aren't used for programming purposes. Look carefully at the 6-pin plug however, some have a thicker shoulder that will push pins 1 and 8 of the 8-pin jack up into the plastic body, bending and damaging the two pins.

If it is a "G" model just go to the web page and download the Power Point on the home screen. This is a little more tricky. You need to know a little about electronics and if you do things wrong you can screw things up. With this mod you can get a variety of frequency's. It depends on two things first the supply voltage to the radio second the status of internal components.

You should be able to get good ham frequency's but each radio is different and if you are going to put it into a car the battery voltage is important. If you need anything just let me know.

If you want to, join the Yahoo group and ask questions. I can't get the web page you listed in your reply to display. I was wondering where you find the special freq.
