I am looking to pickup a radio from ebay soon, and am considering one of the Kenwood TK-8360H units. I understand they are rugged, and a quality build. UHF (GMRS) 45w and relatively new. Anyone out here have any experience using them? I have read and heard of many people using older Kenwood TK-XXX units. Curious to hear if there is any reason not to go with a newer hardware unit. Thanks for any advice. -Mark WREQ867 Sylva, North Carolina Was u able to find a program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kenwoods are good radios. I have a TK880 and it's been a good radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rccooper4 Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 I have one of the 8360 radios and it was pretty easy to program, I got the programing cable and software from BlueMax49er's. They are good radios https://bluemax49ers.com/product-explorer/kenwood-tk-8360-ftdi-programming-cable-kpg-46/ WRXB215 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunkworks Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Thanks for the good info here. I have been dabbling with used Kenwood commercial radios a little bit and I'm really liking them. I have one 8360 and another on the way. The display isn't quite as good as the NX series or the old TK-890H, but it is more than adequate and much less expensive than some of the others. So far, I have: TK-880 TK-890H NX-800H TK-8360 SteveShannon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
