Programing Kenwood Fm's

[Billy Hill]

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!

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

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... )

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...

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:

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.
