Re: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood Repeaters
Jim, I thought I'd drop you a line. I respect your thoughts on protecting the dealers, although most dealers tend to gouge the [EMAIL PROTECTED] out of the ham radio market as we only buy one or two repeaters at a time. Granted, this is the way things work in the real world. Dealers are looking for big sales like a P.D. to make any money, most buyers would request a price break after xxx units bought:) Not here where I live:) These morons pay list price for 500 units of M gear xts5000 stuff...off subject someone is in bed with someone:) Here is my thoughts on the subject, if I have a dealer that wants say $1500.00 for a repeater and another dealer offers me the same gear for $1100.00, I would buy from the guy not charging me list price! Since Kenwood gear is of such high quality I would be very surprised if it failed and had to be returned for warranty repair unless it was a lemon or got blown up by the ham radio owner. Either way, the unit would be send to a Authorized service center, not some dealer with a magic screw driver and an ohm meter to figure out what blew up. I'm luck I have a deal that will sell me any product of Kenwood for dealer cost plus 5% and S H here so I have no problems with my commercial ham stuff... After speaking with my dealer I was informed that all warranty repair items send to him were to be sent to an Authorized service center not him for repair and he would be reimbursed for his shipping cost. Therefore I can only assume the dealer your referring to that gets burned for repair in a moron... I suggest your moron friends of Kenwood get in touch with Kenwood to follow up on return policies as it appears to be in the dark. Regards, Barry --- wrote: Richard W.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood Repeaters
Joel, When seeking the best price for a radio or repeater, I send out an RFQ (Request for Quote) form to at least a half dozen dealers, both in and out of state. I specify EXACTLY what I want, so the dealer cannot try to bundle some slow-moving accessories with the repeater or make substitutions, and I call for a bottom line price that includes all applicable taxes and shipping charges. After all, the bottom line is what comes out of my pocket. Invariably, the best prices come from large-volume dealers. I know that a dealer who does a half million dollars per month in sales is going to get a much better wholesale price from Kenwood than Billy Bob's Radio and Bait Shop in East Podunk. (Used only for illustration; East Podunk residents, please don't write!) I will not pay an outrageous price, just to keep Billy Bob in business! If you want to buy a TKR-750 repeater for Amateur Radio use on 2m, be careful that you specify a TKR-750K2 radio, and NOT the TKR-750K radio. The K2 radio is specified for 136-150 MHz, while the K radio is specified for 146-174 MHz. Obviously, the K2 radio is peaked over the entire 2m band- but you still must tune the RF front end for optimum sensitivity before placing the radio in service. When you order the radio, also order the Service Manual B51-8556-10, the KPG-66D Programming Software, and the KPG-46 Programming Interface Cable. Naturally, your RFQ should include these accessories with the order for the TKR-750K2 repeater. One last comment, although the TKR-750 repeater has many useful features, including a built-in Morse IDer, it does not have a Courtesy Beep. If you desire this feature, you'll need an external controller. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY Joel Mele wrote: ... Can anyone recommend a source for a Kenwood TKR-750 ? Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood Repeaters
Hi Joel, the typical 750 dealer cost is around $1000.00 give or take $100.00 so when you get your quotes from dealers you'll know who is giving you the best deal. I would recommend Skipp's radio service shop here in California for the best deal or at least an honest deal. Check out his web site... http://www.radiowrench.com/basicone.html; Regards, Barry --- Joel Mele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Good Morning: Thanks to Kevin and Jim for their comments on Kendecomm equipment.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood Repeaters
Being a retired dealer that used to sell them to hams$1000 to 1100 is a good price. The list price is 1500 + and we always did ham clubs at or around 1000 including programming and alignment. They are excellent repeaters, when I sold my business I had 18 channels of Narrow-Band UHF trunking using 850's with TPL amps putting out 110 watts. We never had a failure and some of the sites were extremely busy, so much so you would think hams were talkingI'm talking large fleets of school busses, 125 or so busses to each dispatcher, so they would run continuous for 2 or more hours at a time. If you have a problem getting a good price, email me direct and I'll try to hook you up with a dealer that will help you out. 73, Gregg R.
