Re: VX-459 update firmwqre?

I used FIF-12 interface and CT-106 cable. I followed Vertex instructions and update was easy. Update was successful, but 2 tone decode is still a problem.

VX-459 update firmwqre?

I have some VX-459 with firmware 1.12 and I am using CE115 ver 5.01. Programming for 2 tone page decode does not work and entries are unstable. I have been told I need to update firmware. What cable is needed and what is the procedure?

Kenwood date of manufacture

I have a TK-2402V-K. How can I tell by the serial B5C11469 how old it is? The battery code is U421F. How old is it?

Re: Vxr-7000 Is this the correct Programming Cable

The internal duplexer will not work with .6 mHz spacing. Look at the physical size of such a duplexer.
I only use factory original programming cables. No ebay junk. Vertex calls for VPL-1 RJ-45 or CT-29/CT-126 serial cable.
FIF10A or FIF-12A/CT-104A USB cable.

VX-2100-DO-50 P1 & P2 program

I programmed a VX-2100 P1 for direct channel 1 and P2 for direct channel 2. Both buttons cause radio to go to channel 1. What is wrong?

Re: two radios to one antenna question

Read about a Comet CF-416A duplexer. I have seen these used for two radios. Also get a dual band antenna like a Larsen.

I need to remove the display board in a VX824. The board only has 4 screws instead of the six screws showned in the service manual. The top of the board has tabs that go into slots in the top of the case. The board does not want to lift out. I am afraid to pry up much. Is there anything else holding...
