Joe,what is the model number of your radio? Is there a'G' in the model number? If so,you should have a choice when programming freqs to do wide or narrow.If you don't have this choice,you need newer software.
If it is not a 'G' model,then possibly a newer version was used when it would scan,and you may have older software.There was a scan bug in earlier version software.

The model of my radio is a TK-730. The radio box underneath the rear seat says KRK-3DH. If there is another way to tell which model I have, I cannot tell. The only way I found out that I even have a TK-730 was by searching Kenwood products on eBay. If pictures of the actual radio itself would help, please let me know. The radio is only wideband. I would like to convert it to narrow band, as FD's in my area will slowly be converting. Of course, why do I get the feeling that the tag is under the radio where you cannot see it. thanks for all the help!!
Regards,
Joe

Look on the backside or underneath the transceiver unit, not the remote head, for the FCC id. You can then do a search at the FCC's site for more info on that radio.

The version of software I have is 1.00 Is this the version that is having problems?? Also, if I need the newer version of software, will I still be able to use my saved file so I will not have to rewrite in all of the information?? Thanks again!!

Usually the newer versions of programming s/w are backwards compatible with older codeplugs.

Joe's ver 1.0 codeplug read just fine in my 2.01 software. If you need a G radio it would be fairly easy to find a radio deck only on Ebay and swap it out.

Scan problemo
Make sure BOTH the channel AND the GROUP (zone/whatever) are
in the list., eg. there should be TWO arrows pointing down for it to
work properly. Took me a week to realize that one. (I mean realize that
TWO....)

Re: TK 730 scan
You may have something as simple as a bad mic cord or the mic
may be bad , also like someone suggested make sure the mic is grounded
to a good ground, make sure the radio has at least 3 channels set for scan
and you might even want to program another button for scan instead of the scan button now
try a known good mic that scans in another vehicle on the radio
