[Repeater-Builder] TKR-820 and the Kenwood KPT-20 Programmer
Well, everyone, I finally have my
external controller (CAT-300) configured and working on this machine. My
next task is to reprogram the frequency and PL options. I have a KPT-20
programmer, and the manual for it (and the repeater), but the programmer manual
is not what I would call intuitive.
Can anyone who has experience with
this animal give me some explicit directions on how to change the EEPROMS?
The repeater is currently on 462.155 (+5 Meg, with DPL) and I want to
move it to 444.550 (+5 with PL 114.8). The radio does not have a channel
change knob or channel display, so I assume it is only a single channel
repeater (although it appears the EEPROM doesn’t care about that).
I have tried to fumble my way
through reprogramming this, but when I get to the VERIFY portion, I get a
failure message. It’s apparent I’m not doing something
correctly, but I’ll be damned if I can figure it out. The
reprogramming and retuning is the final issues I need to do before I can put
this on the air, so I’m getting anxious now that I’m close to the
end.
Thanks so much!
