Help setting up kenwood TK880H-1

[WRFP595]

Hello. I have acquired a used TK880H-1. I am trying to program it for gmrs and 70cm ham, I got the cable from bluemax49ers on ebay just fine, but the software they said to use said it didn't support the radio. What software do I use and where do I find it? ZI gather the different versions of this radio use different software.  I also see that 70cm is outside what this radio is going to want to do, but it sounded like when the software warns you of this you can just ignore the warning and its going to work?

It is the KPG49D software for the TK880-1 and the radio operating band should be 400-470 MHz.

I checked mine, V4, and the attached photo are they only frequency options shown for the TK-880 mobile radio.

I believe the correct software is KPG-49D.  I can verify tonight when I get home. I am unsure about the 70cm, as I have not attempted that.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

Oops, I made another second mistake in life. I misread that info from the Kenwood Installation manual and from the wrong page. That figure was referencing the test equipment required. I hate googling from a smart phone.

My KPG shows the same info for the band splits.

That reminds me of a joke:

"I've only made one mistake in my life, buying an eraser."

As a person once said: “I thought I was wrong; it turned out I was mistaken.”

Definitely not me.

I tell my wife all the time  "I've only been wrong once in my life. It's when I thought I was wrong but I wasn't."

She sees right through that lie.
