Is your security channel a narrow-band (2.5kHz) FM channel, but your radio programmed for wide band (5kHz)? A 380 listening to narrow-band transmissions while in wide-band mode will hear low audio...

Just a thought

Not coffee, soda, or oil-proof either. Keep the drawer unit someplace dry and away from the vehicle operator and vehicle operating systems, if possible. I found out the hard way that hydraulic oil and these 30 series drawer units don't get along.

Julian - I don't know what part of the planet you're on, but if you're in the southern California area you might try MH Electronics in Rancho Cucamonga. I've dealt with them for years, they make a good product and stand behind their work. Their customer support is excellent *after* the sale, too! (8...

Just a thought... is one of your front panel buttons stuck in the active (pressed) position?

Thanks, Ware!

My original cable is getting quite service worn. Maybe before I buy a new one I'll try and build one.

I went to the SIIG website and downloaded it: http://www.siig.com/product.asp?pid=252

My adapter now lets me tell it which COM port I want it assigned to. My Kenwood software now works easily with it, now that my USB to serial adapter is at COM 1 instead of COM 4.

Hi guys, NodrogCop's comment about the continuous tone caught my attention. Are the frequencies you're having trouble with by any chance at the edge of your programming band? By that I mean is the frequency in question the highest or lowest of the lot being programmed? Perhaps that one frequency fal...

Thanks Jim. I didn't have any trouble running the software on my XP machine, I was just having trouble talking to connected devices through COM4. A driver update for my SIIG USB-serial adapter has solved my problem. Now I can tell the adapter which COM port I want it to assign itself as, and I can u...

Latest version of KPG7D software?

I'm new to the site, greetings all. I maintain a fleet of TK-630s for a water utility, and have encountered a problem of sorts with the KPG7D software for programming these radios. Recently my employer purchased a new laptop for me, and this new laptop has no serial port. No problem, thinks I, I'll ...
