The Radio Information Board

This isn't a necessarly a kenwood topic, but since I am running kenwood radio's I'll place this here I have a kenwood tk-760H and a tk-762H that operate between 150 and 160 mostly (possibly into the 160 range, but never lower than 150) I have Larson fender mount lm antenna's with lm-150 (c?) coils o...

Problem solved!!! R247 (4.7 ohms) was faulty (open) preventing the 13 volts from getting to pin 1. I am now able to get into the radio and program with the software. It is unlikely the resistor will go again (used a 1/2 watt as that is all the store had) I checked to see if there was any reason for ...

Well, it's not a trace problem. I went to work with my multimeter and traced the problem back out of the head and onto the main board. R247 (4.7 ohms) is open. when I put my multimeter across this component it still reads ~
i'll try and replace this tomorrow and post back....

Check for 13.8 volts on pin one of the mic jack,there was a problem with a trace opening up that was common. mod with the radio powered on and no mic the voltage was floating somewhere between 7 and 8 volts. this was between pin 1 and the chassis of the radio. What is the "industry standard&qu...

since I don't have a book and I was going by my faulty memory, I have edited my post.
My apologies for the inaccurate content....

*edited for inaccurate content* for about two seconds as it does not go into programming instantly.

a Kenwood TK-7160 can be front pannel programmed, you just need to find a dealer willing to sell you the radio with the option enabled.

as for older radios, a kenwood tk-760 can also be set up for this.

I have a Kenwood TK-762H two channel radio that I can't get into to program. I have the proper software and cable (tested and verified operational with a TK-760H) Whenever I try to read the radio I get the following error ERROR!! Check connection. Retry or Cancel ? Take radio out of scan Take radio ...

How's that??

Can a kenwood tk-780 have the frequencies programmed through the front the same as a tk-760 can??
field programmable without the use of a laptop....
Thanks

Ah, well, It would appear like I have helped myself. I just had to look around a bit.... http://radio.the161.net/viewtopic.php?t=1641

Can the TK-760GH radio be front face programmed like the TK-760H??
