I'd like to place another "call for information" to the group about this repeater. It seems to me I've seen mention on this list in the past, that others here are using this machine in the ham band. I want to confirm whether I can program/tune the machine for the US Amateur 70cm band before I try to tackle it personally.
I also still need a source for the manual. I've already responded to Juan regarding his offer... Thanks all ahead of time! Mark - N9WYS --- In [email protected], "Mark A.

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. Mark � N9WYS Yahoo!
