Kenwood TKR 850 (version 1&2) Software
gortex2 replied to WSEL330's question in Technical Discussion
The majority of LMR radios do not have free downloads from their sites. Many Kenwood shops will sell yo uthe software. It most likely is on a CD and not a floppy. I'm sure there are places on ebay that sell a download but I've alwasy preferred software from the vendor vs internet -

Cool. Looking forward to getting the wheels dirty in PA. First week of October is Uhwarrie JJ so will be there for that one as well. We have busy summer with events. SMJI is in August so will be there, then October have 3 JJUSA trips planned and Windrock for hopefully November.

Assume you mean AOAA in PA ? We will be there this weekend for Jeep Jamboree. Got home from Uhwarrie last night and had enough time to pressue wash semi clean to head north Wednesday night.

The radio is going out of lock most likely. There is a slim chance you could retune the vco if you have a service monitor and manual but sometimes there are componants that need changed as well. As suggested best bet is to sell the unit and get one in the lower split.

I have yet to see a mobile radio in a race car. Every radio I have seen is a portable with an antenna adapter. I dont know if indy or F1 is different but at least in the nascar world its all portables. Rarely do you even see a mobile in a safety truck either. If you are doing a mobile I'm with others get a quality LMR radio with limited functions.

Utilizing GMRS vs Ham repeaters for a newbie!
gortex2 replied to WSJF256's topic in General Discussion
Whats really sad is the amount of folks on this forum that encourage folks to break the rules. Regardless if its uncertified radios, using non gmrs frequencies like ham. Then on top of it it we tell folks dont worry no one cares or can do anything. What happened to be a stewardess of the hobby/service ? Lately this forum isn't much better than the prepper forums out there. -

As said NMO mount dead NMO mount dead center of roof. I run 1/4 wave on mine but all depends on use case.

I can tell you for sure half of the ones listed dont even exist. And the other half exist but are dead quiet.

Still do. XTL Consolette is all over for cheap online now, newest is APX 8500 Consolette. I have multiple 7500 Consolettes in my office.

I only run the larsen NMO now and for the price you can't beat the mount. Spend a few bucks more and get a quality mount. If you plan to keep a vehicle this mount will outlast most. https://theantennafarm.com/shop-by-categories/antennas-mounts/mobile-antenna-mounts/nmo-mobile-antenna-mounts/266-permanent-hole-mounts/291-nmo-3-4-hole-mount-high-frequency/1126-larsen-nmokhfudfme-detail Center of roof on truck will be great with a 1/4 wave

New Install - Dual Astro XTL5000 - VHF / UHF, 110w
gortex2 replied to marcspaz's topic in General Discussion
The XTL allows up to 4 control heads per deck. Ive installed up to 3 on a radio in a command post/mobile communications unit. Many ambulances and firetrucks have 2 heads, one in cab and one in rear. There was a special cable (SP) made to allow control of 2 decks from one W3 head but was specific to three letter agencies. Some have made it to the public but they were not higely used. THE APX series allows dual deck or multi head or both. -

gortex2 replied to WRPL657's question in Technical Discussion
I have done similar with our SAR repeaters. We use a different input PL on the repeaters but common transmit PL. That way ou can hear folks on both repeaters regardless which channel I have selected. In the old days this was considered poor man voting but worked well for many public safety agencies. -
I have multiple repeaters. None are listed. I dont need or want them listed. Why should others list my repeater ?
