KPG-36 and TK-2180 ???

Post by redbird »

I am thinking about an ebay generic KPG-36 for my TK-2180. Which cable have you had good luck with. I want a serial cable.

Get a real Kenwood cable... the aftermarkets do generally tend to work OK, but - some get picky and won't program certain radios. I have a knock-off and an OEM at work, and the knock off will, for example, read and write 3160s all day long, but barfs up errors on 3170s or 3173s, or even 3200s. It's hit or miss.

But with any programming cable situation, it's always best in the long run to get the real thing.
