I have a Kenwood TK-730H (6 pin power plug) and a TK-830G (2 pin power plug)
Anyway, I need complete power cable sets or at least the plugs and pins for them.
I recently found out the power cable for an ICOM IC-706MKIIG radio is the same. I can get that one from Ebay for 12.88 plus 4.90 shipping. The low power 2 pin plug seems to be harder to find.
Also, the TK-730H has a X24C04P (32 channel I think) eeprom installed. To increase to 160 channels, do I just need to change the eeprom to the
X24C16P as well as the eeprom in the control head?
Also, is there a 160 channel mod such as this for the TK-830G?
Lots of questions, few answers:-)
Thanks,

Kenwood TK-830G & TK-730H power cables and channel mods?

830
You are correct on the EEPROMs. Change the head and deck to the 24c16. Same thing works on the 830. You will also need to remove 2 little SMD resistors. 1 from the deck and one from the head in order to program the radio. Do a search here and you will find exactly the info you need. Peter.
Re: 830
Also, remember that the 160 channel model is the full feature head. I think it is limited to 99 ch on the KCH-3 basic head.ka7wnf wrote:You are correct on the EEPROMs. Change the head and deck to the 24c16. Same thing works on the 830.

Thanks for the help. The biggest problem I have right now is no power cords. I can get by with 32 channel. I don't really need 160 channels anyway.
Does anyone have some used power cords cheap:-) (what else) lol

I'll see whatI can dig up. Do you need any of the 6-pin or the 15-pin molex connectors? I will have some extra's in a few days..
