Help with Kenwood TK730 programmming

[stangmansvo]

Need assistance with programming a tk730 mobile. I cant get the radio to read or write. Im using a KPG-7D software & KPG-4 cable under DOS. Is there a special trick to program these radios???

HELP ASAP : I have a medic unit in my driveway that needs to go out on MONDAY !!!!!!!!!!

Press the left hand key on the bottom row while powering up, the display should read "program". You can read the radio. Repeat the above for programming.

Depending upon the control head you need to hold down a button while powering it up. The display will show "program" if its a KCH-4 head. I think PR if it's a basic KCH-3 head. On the KCH-4 it's the button just to the right of the channel selector. Not sure on the 3 head, try all of them one at a time.

Hold button 1 when turning the radio on. Button 1 is located just to the right of the volume and channel wheels. According to the help file in the software that is for both control heads.

Thanks guys,
Everything you all said worked. This is my first Kenwood installation (Dual Heads) and the Rescue Squad didnt have any information on the radio.

thanks again

I have a TK330, TK705, TK730 and a TK830. Also have service manuals for the 705 and 830 if you need any more info.

what setup do I need for a Kenwood 930 series mobile? Picked one up for $15 which was a hell of deal since its complete and like new.

You'll need the KPG-5D software and I beleive the KPG-4 programming cable.
