Billy Hill Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I'm in a bind, if any of you have any information (or even directions) on how to program a Kenwood Fm radio, the style from a pick-up truck, would be gladly appreciated!

R22Captain Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 The ENG machine I was flying had a pair of those. I know our avionics guy had software on his laptop he used to program them. Hope that may be of some help! There very well could be another way but that's all I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 What type of Kenwood is it? I used to be able to do these off the top of my head. Even a picture of the face would help. (The radio face... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidz Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 If you had the actual model number you could easily download the manual from the Internet. I just checked Kenwood's site and tehy're pretty much all available in pdf form... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidz Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 The model # is TK-760HG-1. Just checked the Kenwood site and downloaded the pdf manual but there is no directions on how to program them. You need the dealer or field programming guide. I didn't find it, but I did find these programming instructions on an amateur radio forum. Dunno if they're applicable to your model: From: http://www.eham.net/forums/VHFUHF/4835 ================================================ Press and hold "A" key while turning the power on. ("SEL" will be displayed) Press "MON" ("CH 1" should be displayed.) Press "SCAN" or "D/A" to select the channel to edit (1 - 32). Press "CHANNEL DOWN" to view the receive frequency If you see "------------" press "CHANNEL UP" and then use the following to set the required frequency. If you see a frequency and it is wrong, use the following to change it. "VOLUME UP" and "VOLUME DOWN" keys set the megahertz of frequency. ( ---.000 ) "SCAN" and "D/A" keys set the kilohertz of frequency. ( 154.--- ) Press "CHANNEL DOWN" to advance. Do you need a "Receive CTCSS tone"? If not, then press "CHANNEL DOWN" If you need a tone, and you see "OFF", press "CHANNEL UP", then use "SCAN" or "D/A" to change it to what you want. If you see the wrong tone frequency just use "SCAN" or "D/A" to change it to what you want. Press "CHANNEL DOWN" to advance to transmit frequency. If you see "------------" press "CHANNEL UP" and then use the following to set the required frequency. If you see a frequency and it is wrong, use the following to change it. "VOLUME UP" and "VOLUME DOWN" keys set the megahertz of frequency. ( ---.000 ) "SCAN" and "D/A" keys set the kilohertz of frequency. ( 154.--- ) Press "CHANNEL DOWN" to advance. Do you need a "Transmit CTCSS tone"? If not, then press "CHANNEL DOWN" If you need a tone, and you see "OFF", press "CHANNEL UP", then use "SCAN" or "D/A" to change it to what you want. If you see the wrong tone frequency just use "SCAN" or "D/A" to change it to what you want. Press "CHANNEL DOWN" to advance. Do this a couple of times to step through to the next channel. (Channel number will appear.) IMPORTANT - When you are done, turn the radio off, wait a second, turn it back on. You are ready to use it.
