[Repeater-Builder] Re: Kenwood TKR-830
I'd like to place another "call for information" to the group about this repeater. It seems to me I've seen mention on this list in the past, that others here are using this machine in the ham band. I want to confirm whether I can program/tune the machine for the US Amateur 70cm band before I try to tackle it personally. I also still need a source for the manual. I've already responded to Juan regarding his offer... Thanks all ahead of time! Mark - N9WYS --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "Mark A. Tomany" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Well, a couple of months ago, I posted that I was looking to purchase an Icom IC-FR4000 to replace an ailing MSR2000 that I "administer" for the local hams. After long last, I was told by the vendor that Icom is not currently making the "-2" model (ham split) and probably will not begin any production in the near future. The best they could offer was "Icom says it may start production in the second quarter of 2005" May is the operational word here. To keep this long story as short as possible, the "repeater fairy" paid me an early Christmas visit today, and delivered a Kenwood TKR- 830. I haven't had any opportunity to check what freq it was on, but the courier stated it was in operation until taken off the air. An attempt to find anything about this animal on Kenwood's website was futile, so I ask (hoping for many kind assists from the list): 1) Does anyone have a manual scanned in for this machine? If so, can I trouble you for a copy? (I do have broadband, or will send a blank disk) 2) Is the programming software available for any source even if it's Kenwood? (If so, can I get a product ID # to order it?) 3) Can I assume this machine is fairly easily tuned down into the ham band? 4) Is there anything I need to watch out for regarding this machine?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Kenwood TKR-830
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]) - Original Message - From: "n9wys" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Friday, December 17, 2004 2:30 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Kenwood TKR-830 > > > I'd like to place another "call for information" to the group about > this repeater.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Kenwood TKR-830
Well, gang. I finally have the monster in my hot little hands!! And I find it is NOT a TKR-830, but rather a TKR-820... From reading the Repeater-Builder's web page, I see that Gene - WB0PKP has a TKR-820 operating on the ham band. Gene - if you're out there reading this, can you get in touch with me off-list?? For Gene and all, some questions... 1) Can I use the software for the 830 to program this, or is there another version? 2) How difficult is it to get it to go to 444 MHz? (I need mine on 444.550) It is currently on 462. 3) Will be looking for manuals, etc... Thanks all, and sorry for the confusion. Mark - N9WYS Yahoo!
