Let me see if I can straithen out some of this.
There is no such thing as a TKR-620. The TKB-620 is a low band base
station of the same type as the TKB-720 and 820.
The 'R' in TKR indicated repeater. 'B' indicates base station. A base
cannot be converted into a repeater. The Repeater adds a second VCO and
synthesizer to allow full duplex.
The first number indicates band. A TK-6xx is low band, a TK-7xx is high
band, a TK-8xx is UHF, a TK-9x0 is 800 Mhz, and a TK-9x1 is 900 Mhz.
This applies to mobiles.
The newest commercial radios from Kenwood have four numbers instead of
three, but still follow the same basic format.
The TK-722 is a trunk-mount version of the TK-720 *mobile*. Parts from
it could possibly be used to repair a TKB-720 base, and maybe a few can
used in TKR-720 as well.
I don't really think the 'R' on the end of TK-722R means much of anything.
One of our other techs here just installed a TK-802R in a vehicle
yesterday. Just a trunk mount TK-801...
Finding a place to mount everything in a Chevy Trailblazer was fun though...
