Bought out a business and have quite a few radios.
Tk880-1 (40ea), TK880-1 v2, (8ea) and TK863g-1 (20+)
1-tk762G-1 vhf, 1- TK940 800mhz. 1- TK980-v2 800mhz
Can program the TK880's for GMRS channels tones and repeaters.
Bare radios no mic. or mounting brackets.
If interested in any of these DM for more info.
Or make offer.
1-tk762G-1 vhf, 1- TK940 800mhz. 1- TK980-v2 800mhz
Thank you

What about the label on the back of your radio? Does it say "Ver 2.0" like here:
If not, you have unversioned, or what is called "Ver 1.0" radio. The latest firmware for Ver 2.0 is E613, that's what I run in my radios. The latest for Ver 1.0 is E4B3. I have both firmwares (although I only have 2.0 radios). If you PM me with your email, I can send them to you.
So, if I read you posts correctly, you can upload firmware with FPro when turn on the radio with the SCN down, correct? If yes, your cable and port are fine.
Yep TK-880-1 V2 same as above.. used FPro to upload. SCN down then power to enter program mode and using Ftdi cable.. I have booth versions of firmware sum= OADE.. At this point I think the radio has issues does not make sense.. The firm ware I installed is (V 208-OADE)

Start with steps outlined in Service Manual (http://www.repeater-builder.com/kenwood/pdfs/tk-880h-svc-man.pdf), Page 16. Basically, make sure that your COM port number is correct and KPG-49D and radio operate on the same serial port speed. The default should be 57600.
Read the posts from WRAK968 in this thread to determine if you need to reflash the firmware.
Remember, that firmware for v 1.0 and 2.0 are NOT interchangeable.
May have jumped the gun? When i go the radio it wouldn't go into program mode it had a program password. I uploaded a new dat file for the gmrs channels it loaded fine then allowed me to enter program mode. uploaded firmware, because of message some items wouldn't work.. at first thought i might have loaded wrong firmware KT-880-1 V2.0 but I'm pretty sure at this point I loaded the right firmware.. the radio comes on displays channel 1 in program mode displays 57600 baud rate firmware sum= OADE.
NOW front panel buttons do nothing but beep? figured i messed something up in data file. Made a few changes the one I question is front panel programing? Anyway now the radio will not reconnect to programing cable says check connections and comport. that all shows fine. checked drivers comports everything i know ordered FTDI cable and same message check connections and comport.. will not connect ?

Because when they work they are great radios..

It's likely "Passport" software and will require a firmware update. I'm in the process of doing the same thing for an 8180.
I wish it was that easy.. programming cable will shows no connection in KPG 49D software.. fpro runs but radio does nothing.. comport is fine.. Just received new program cable and same thing.. going to try reinstalling software? Don't know what else to try.. Thanks

I am glad that I am not the only one struggling with a TK-880! I purchased one from Ebay and I have not had any luck getting the KPG-49D software (ver. 4.20) to access the radio. When I turn it on it quickly displays VER: 1.5164 (Passport firmware?) then displays CH 1. I cannot get it into programming mode from the panel and the KPG-49D. I get an error message that says "Please check connection and communication port setting". The power switch, volume buttons and the monitor button work but nothing else.
I have not found a way to do a hard reset or unlock the radio. It is a TK-880-1 Ver 2.0 according to the tag. Frustrating to say the least. Ham radios have been a piece of cake in comparison.
Did you ever figure out the problem? Bought the same radio/cable/software and loaded the firmware now it won't connect thought it was the cable ordered another (FTDI )
