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.
