  1. If the radio shows "searching" it is probably a trunking radio, either Passport or LTR-NET, with proprietary Scholer-Johnson firmware. These radios can not be read with Kenwood software. They are also usually inhibited from flash firmware changes. Reprogramming the radio for conventional use requires the SJI software version that matches the firmware and the radio is usually password protected. The procedure, if you can obtain the software and the password for the radio, is to read the radio with SJI, enter the radio password and go to Edit/Optional Features to clear all Data Passwords and check the box to enable Firmware Programming. Write to the radio and read it again to confirm the changes. Then you can use Kenwood FPRO to install the current Kenwood firmware. Then you should be able to read and program the radio with KPG89-D. The radio will probably display garbage and not function until it is reprogrammed. The bottom line is, without access to SJI software, the password, and Kenwood firmware, the radio will only function on it's presently programmed trunking system. The same general information applies to Kenwood TK-880 trunking radios.
