Let me trow my two cents:
Normally the TKR-850 came from factory programed and
tunned
in the 460 Mhz. range, so if you want to operate in the
amateur
freq's; is very important to retune the front end to bring
into specs.

<----I'm afraid I have to disagree with your analysis that
simply because others have retuned them to 70 cm is no guarantee. In fact,
Kenwood spec's the TKR-850 in the ham band.
I'm looking at the
service manual and there, in black and white, is the freq.
spec "Frequency range 440 to 470 Mhz". Not to mention the Kenwood
FPU programming software has 440 to 450 Mhz as a valid range.
They
tune easily and meet full factory spec when retuned. I haven't seen one yet
that doesn't.
