Hello Mark, The answer is yes they work very well on both two meter (Kenwood TKR-750) and wonderful on 440 (Kenwood TKR-850) they just came out with a ver. two for the 850 and it does a few more things. Contact me direct and I will pass along who I buy Kenwood repeaters from and they sell them tuned to the Ham bands. Oh! The old software that worked the Kenwood TKR-850 will not work on the ver. two you need the KPG-91D or better to program this newer repeater. 73 Russ, W3CH ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
