Windows programming software for TK-2170/TK-3170 E & K Versions
Evening all, I bought my first 2M Kenwood TK-7360HV-K and it arrived today so I wanted to start programming it. I have the correct cable and Programming software KPG-135D V2.21 with what I believe is a correct engineering serial. According to what i have read up it looks like i need to get KPG-135DNK instead of 135D.

Kenwood seems to use the convention of model numbers starting with TK for Commercial two-way Land Mobile Radios (LMR), TKB for Commercial LMR Base Stations, TKR for Commercial LMR Repeaters, TM for Amateur Mobile radios, TH for Amateur Hand-held (portable) radios, and TS for Amateur Station radio equipment.

| The PG-4S programming cable is used to program a TM-V7A or a TM-G707A. You can make your own using info from the KA7O web site page on the PG-4S. Supposedly you can use an inexpensive KPG-4 (6 pin) or KPG-46 (8 pin) cable from eBay and change the plug (the plug and cable from a dead PS/2 mouse works just fine), or make an adapter from a 6-pin or 8-pin jack and the plug end of a PS/2 style PC keyboard or mouse extension cord. |
| Homebrew programming interface equivalent to the KPG-4 35 kB PDF from K9MN The KPG-4 is the RS-232 to TTL cable that is used for programming most any commercial or amateur Kenwood radio. |
| Another version of the above KPG-4 replacement Courtesy of KC7GF This diagram is similar to the above but with a lot more info - it shows the DB9 and DB25 connections, and the handheld connections. |
| A programming interface similar to the above KPG-4 units This one corrects a few omissions in the above diagrams. Best of all, it actually works. |
| Art Bross KC7GF used to have a TK-705 and TK-805 Radio page but the hosting company went away. BEFORE YOU BUY AN 805(D) CHECK THE VERSION NUMBER ON THE BACK. There are 4 different versions of the 805 and 805D and you need to look at the rear FCC ID# label. A -1 is for the 450-470 MHz band. A -2 is for the 470-490 MHz band, a -3 is for the 490-512 MHz band and a -4 is for 406 to 430 MHz 'government' band. The 450-470 MHz band TK-705D and TK-805D will work fine with no modifications in the ham bands, however you will need the 'H' version to get 45 watts out of them. The stock non-H versions only put out around 30 watts (retuning with a Service monitor makes them better). Art's group page also has links to other Kenwood-related sites. |

A few simple hex-edits are all it takes to expand the coverage into the ham bands. This same idea might also work for other bands and other KPG programming packages. |

The Kenwood publications group seems to have decided that a 'dual band' radio is one that is capable of operating on two bands simultaneously, while a 'twin band' or 'two band' radio operates on only one band at a time.

| John W1GPO reports 'The TK-8180 (K) radio covers 450-520 MHz but the KPG-89D software will let you program it with amateur frequencies. You may have to adjust the radio's VCO trimmer capacitors to let it operate down as low as 440 MHz. Unfortunately these two trimmers are on the solder side of the RF board and you have to remove the board to get to them. This requires unsoldering the antenna connector and the four leads from the power amplifier module. The adjustment procedure, if you can understand it, is in the service manual. You can also just set the two trimmers for maximum capacitance as measured with a capacitance meter.' |

| Dan N2AYM reports 'I have repaired quite a few Kenwood TM-331 radios, replacing the memory batteries and RF Amp modules. The TM-231 / 331 / 241 / 441 / 541 models are of the same basic configuration inside and if you review the service manuals it is evident they are almost the same with the possible exception of the spectrum covered. They all use the same Lithium Memory backup battery. This part number has changed so the service manuals will have the old part number (W09-0326-05); the new number is W09-0599-05. When I called East Coast Transistor Parts their price was only $6.00 each which seems very reasonable. This battery is a CR2032s with solder tabs for installation in the control heads. When I replaced the RF Amp module (M57774), I found that there had never been any thermal compound between the amp mount and the heat sink, which may have been a production error and may have contributed to the amp's problem with excessive heat over a period of time. I naturally used thermal compound with the new one.' |

| The TM-641/741 radios can draw as much as 12 amps on transmit, and the DC wire pigtail hanging from the back of the radio and the matching power cord that was shipped with it was undersized. The transmitter is sensitive to low DC voltage, a voltage drop of less than a volt can cost you 25% of the transmit output power. Measure the voltage at the radio while transmitting (the simple way is to temporarily push a couple of sewing pins through the insulation of the power cable right by the strain relief). If it does not remain above 13vDC you will have to check the voltage at the power source (i.e. at the vehicle battery). If that is fine then you will need to change the wiring to a larger size (lower resistance) wire. Been there twice, done that twice, got the t-shirt (but not the coffee cup). I replaced the short pigtail in the back of the radio with the heaviest red / black zip cord I could find and enlarged the hole in the back of the radio for a larger strain relief. The pigtail had a 15 amp mini-ATO type automotive fuse in it. I also replaced the cable from the battery to the pigtail. At the time the biggest wire available was #12, but since then I've seen #10 at HRO, and saw #8 in a catalog. Be careful, don't trust the insulation size to be indicative of the wire size; look at the copper cross-section. |

| A tip on the 641 / 741 / 642 / 742 series from Rian AG4ME: If you have no audio output and the light dimmer does not work, look at resistor R121 and maybe transistor Q102 in the control head becoming un-soldered. |

| A 'usability' note from Dan Hopper KU4NF on the TM-V7A radio and the PC software they provide to upload and download the 180 memories: if you download the radio's memory, move some locations around and thus create some newly empty locations, and then write it back to the radio, it doesn't seem to delete the now-empty locations like it should; it merges the upload with the memory contents resulting in duplicate locations where the old entries are visible in the empty channels in the new data. My workaround is to delete all the memories in the radio before doing a write to the radio, thus giving the new data a clean slate to program into. How do you erase only the memories and none of the other settings? None of the power-up hotkeys seem to do this. However, if you have the radio change the VHF/UHF channel ratio, it'll prompt you to OK erasing all the memories. Do that, then change it back to your original ratio or a new ratio, and then write from the software to the radio. Kludgy, but it works. |
