I have 5 of them in the ham band, they work fine for
most applications. Both with the internal repeater
controller and an external tone panel. I just
interfaced 3 into a commercial voting systems that
works very well.

If you're local to me, I can and will reprogram
the repeater for free.
Email me off the list direct if you need one
(a kpt-50). I'm an Authorized Kenwood Dealer
and keep them in stock.

Not hard, best done with a quality service monitor,
the service manual and by choice I also like to
use a Sinader.

People are selling pdf on cd service manuals on
Ebay for less than my actual dealer cost.
Sometimes they are not the most current manual
versions.
Original Kenwood Hardcopy manuals run from about
$12 to $32, depending on model/size.

I'm happy to field Kenwood LMR (Commercial Two-Way)
Questions direct (off the list).
The tkr-820 willl make a fine Amateur Repeater.
