Most amateur radio manuals are available free to download at the manufact. web sites. I don't know about Kenwood but Yaesu and Icom do. sb106 |

It's available at Kenwood if it's a recent model. If not, you may have some success if you email their customer service department. I checked quick and it's available at mods.dk:

If you don't find one, I bought one on an internet auction site and it should be here by the end of the week. It has the owners manual and I'll be able to check for you if you don't come up with the answer. |

Hollowpoint...THANK YOU..
I cant get the computer to show on the monitor the individual pages or print the manual... but that is this old computer.
All I want to know is how to change the ctcss codes and info about them...I already know how to program memory frequencies in it. |

KD4MAG,
Most of the files are in pdf format.
You will need Adobe to read them.

It's a Microsoft .doc document. To read it you either need to have Microsoft Word or their free viewer installed. Here is a link to their free viewer for older operating systems:

KD4AMG - I read through the manual quickly and it doesn't appear that this radio had CTCSS capability in stock form, but it could have an aftermarket CTCSS kit installed. There is a tone button, but it's not for CTCSS. This is what I found in the manual:
19. TONE Switch
When this switch is pressed, the repeater control tone burst signal (1.750 Hz) is emitted for about 0.5 second at the beginning of each transmission.
3-5 TX OFFSET and REVERSE
After setting channels by the number keys on the keyboard. press the [+] or [-] key. The transmit frequency will be switched up or down 600 kHz from the receive frequency and the TX shift indicator (3) will illuminate. By pressing the REV switch (15). the transmit and receive frequencies will be reversed. If, at this time. the transmit frequency is beyond the amateur band frequency, A tone will sound and the transceiver is automatically set in simplex mode.
When the REV switch is pressed, the frequency indicated on the display is also reversed, but the TX shift indicator (3) does not alter the indication.

There's some pages missing on that site. I received mine today. The tone switch is also there to use an vendor supplied tone board or external. Kenwood doesn't make one for it. I ordered the TE-32 exteranl box to wire into the radio for it. There are posts inside the radio to solder to for these kits. I got it scanned, I wasn't sure if I could put a pdf file as an attatchment so you could view it. |

I looked IN the radio...cant tell if any one has done any modifying to any board, if any diodes / etc have been added to any boards. There is a repeater in Huntsville that REQUIRES a 82.5 tone and if I push the TONE button in, I can access ( use ) the repeater, same TONE button out..no access. So somewhere inside some one has modified that much of the rig, but it was done real good, cause all the solder connections, etc all look the same ( none look newer / older than others )...so I dont know. I guess I will just use it as is or sell it.
THANK YOU for your help...maybe all this talk helped some one else who has stayed quiet, or has a similer rig and wondered about the ctcss tones...lots of folks read this a month / year later and get good info on a current rig...
