Where did you order from? I need to order some.

I am trying to use a VXR-1000V for inband mobile extender. I have tried several things eliminate interference from mobile to VXR receiver. I had to program carrier squelch to eliminate the delay that was cutting off the first word of transmissions. I am running very tight squelch (75 on software set...

Align the VCO. I can sell you a manual if you need it. You might need to align RF circuits also.

Can a TK-760 HG be programmed to encode two tone pagers? Also what is the software part number for this radio?

The lids snap on and off. Stick a wide blade screw driver in the slots above and below the mounting bracket holes and pry.

Problem solved. I had tried writing several saved files to the radio. I got wrong model number errors. I tried to write the last file I had and it wrote to the radio. I then edited the file for my needed frequencies and wrote to the radio. Modulation was low and PL tone was very low. I went to test ...

I have a TK-760H-1 that display shows UNPROG. I have tried KPG-20D ver2 and get an error message when trying to read. I tried to write a saved file from another radio and got error of wrong model number. Radio display says -PC- when trying to write. Radio also does a reset after trying to read or wr...

I have been told that Kenwood on sells software to Kenwood dealers. Dealers sell to customers and others who need it.

I am setting up my first VXR-1000V. It will be connected to a Motorola CDM1250. Does anyone have any tips for setup or programming?

I need to program a 242-7510. I tried Icom CSF3G for windows and it did not work. Will CS-F3 for DOS work? What is the Johnson part for the software? Will the ICOM cable work? What is the Johnson number for the cable? Is there a Yahoo group for Johnson?

Seems like there were two models. One model could be programmed by keypad and other model required an eprom burner. This model can be returned to Shinwa for programming.

I ordered 39 radios and they all worked out of the box. There are some things on scan and page that I do not like the programming options. The radios have in service about 30 days and no failures. The only problem is extra belt clips have been on back order for over 30 days.

I have a TK805D that sputters and PL tone is unstable if I transmitt with less than 13 volts for supply. I am thinking VCO adjustment. Is TP3 the VCO test point? I measure 4.05 volts on receive and 7.7 on transmitt there. Is this normal? Where is adjustment?

I just bought 37 of these radios. I will post later about how they work and last.

I just programmed a RPV516A and have these comments. Scan seems a little slow. When using priority scan, there is too much gap in the received audio. Also, when using two-tone decode on a communications channel, there is not a way to know if receiver is set to monitor or is muted.
