The Radio Information Board

That's odd, because the service manual clearly states you have to turn the unit on while holding the channel up button. Maybe I misread it.

Okay, I found it.... The ribbon connector on the control unit has broken off (CN501). It was most likely on its way out before I fiddled with it.... Can anyone fix this thing?

Okay, I finally got a dud on eBay, but I don't want to let this one go. It it a TK-760G-2 (136-162mhz). When I applied power to the radio, it powered up. Display works, channels change, and all buttons function. Except for the power button. Couldn't turn it off, and also can't program it because of ...

Yeah, I decided to nix the idea. I currently have a TK-830/630 setup in my Jeep now. I am just going to put the other 630 in with a 730 instead of tearing whats in there apart.

I have a 630-3 for 6 meter, and a 630-1 for 10 meter.

I have a TK-630H-3 that I am using on 6 meter. I just got a TK-630H-1 I am going to use for 10 meter. The $64,000 question is am I able to use both of those radios with the same control head? I keep wondering how it would know which radio is which if both are in SP tune while programming. Has anyone...

Yeah..... How did you do that??

Sent the radio to a buddy of mine who has the bench, and equipment to alighn the front end. If I remember correctly, he got it down to .5 microvolts. Reception is WAY better than before.

I'm going to go with a unit that Pyramid Communications makes. SVR-200 is the model number.

Nobody? There was never a module made for this??

Well, never mind the TX output... Apparently the meter I used was crap.... I put it on a Bird meter, and the thing is TX'ing with 120w out.... Still haven't aligned the front end.... That is soon to follow.

Is there any Kenwood made, or homemade way to cross band repeat the x30 series radios? I know most of what I need is in the accessory port, and I have tons of plugs, and pins. The only problem I can think of is that the COR of one radio is high, and the PTT is low on the other. I do have a bit of ex...

.....Or not.

Okay. I think I know which coils to spread. However, if anyone has a copy of the service manual in .pdf, that would be sweet!

I would be happy just to have the rated 110w output. That's fine with me. I just obviously need to invest in some equipment!!

I have the -3 model, 41-50 MHz. I made sure of that before I bought it. I have VR1, and VR2 cranked to max. As for the 1khz signal, that's going to be tricky for me.
