Well, a couple of months ago, I posted that I was looking to purchase an
Icom IC-FR4000 to replace an ailing MSR2000 that I �administer� for the
local hams.
After long last, I was told by the vendor that Icom is not currently making
the �-2� model (ham split) and probably will not begin any production in the
near future. The best they could offer was �Icom says it may start
production in the second quarter of 2005�� May is the operational word
here.
To keep this long story as short as possible, the �repeater fairy� paid me
an early Christmas visit today, and delivered a Kenwood TKR-830. I haven�t
had any opportunity to check what freq it was on, but the courier stated it
was in operation until taken off the air.
An attempt to find anything about this animal on Kenwood�s website was
futile, so I ask (hoping for many kind assists from the list):
1) Does anyone have a manual scanned in for this machine? If so, can I
trouble you for a copy? (I do have broadband, or will send a blank disk)
2) Is the programming software available for any source � even if it�s
Kenwood? (If so, can I get a product ID # to order it?)
3) Can I assume this machine is fairly easily tuned down into the ham
band?
4) Is there anything I need to watch out for regarding this machine?
Thanks to everyone � you�ve all been a big help in the past.
