I have a TK385 I am attempting to read. I have the new software from Kenwood - KPG26D (I believe) but it keeps asking me for a network file. Has anyone ran into this.

Does any one have an archive of a TK-480 with 1 or 2 conventional channels only. I just purchased 5 of these for our FD, but got really confused in the programming software. It would be alot quicker if I had an existing archive.

If you have a button programmed and scan selected in each channel you wish to scan it shoul work.

Do you have a button programmed for scan ? and A/D ?

Did this ever get answered. I was told it was able to be done. I programmed it via software to do it, but still can't get it to work. Is there a diode that needs removed as in other series ?

BTW, mine is a TK280 (VHF Model)

Well I think I figured it out...and I would think there would only be one list...I now have 3 different lists... !@#$ !!

I have a pile of these units in 800 Mhz, I have all the software and cables, but can't seem to get them programmed right. Does BK use a different "channel" # lineup similar to EFJ. If I put the FCC channel in it tx and rx's on totally different channels. The software has no help built in a...

Has anyone played withthe units from Maxon with the BD9 and DB15 on them. I have a few, but curious to know if I can build the programming cables for it or it uses something specific from Maxon. Think one unit is a SD160, not sureon the 9 pin unit. Also as anyone gotten these out of band...I think i...

Our FD currently has Viking CM and 8587 portables for multi-net. We lost 4 in 2 incidents last week (Fire and lake call). I was now told they are long gone and the new unit is the Ascend. How are these units ? Also what software and programming cables do I need to purchase for these ? Does this radi...

Yes with the F3 only one TX code. With the F33/F50/F70 you can select up to 10 codes to send out.

Set up a button for "CALL"

Well I'd use the Otto version mike myself...but...the radio is great for firefighting, but I found the Otto mike can get trashed and still works. I use mine all the time.

Its a different format. The only way to do this is with aftermarket boards.

You can set these up any way you want. I have one bank with about 65 channels, then a SAR only bank with just 6 channels. You can also set up multiple scan lists, ie: day scan and night scan (my base at home).

Piece of cakes, selling lots of them specifically for this...
