thankyou very much i have alot of work i have adjust those button on my radio like your and how do i add the ctss tones like your thank this video helps my radio is 30 watts
Great Video. Thank you. New subscriber here. Planning on picking one of these up soon. Seem like a solid choice with functionality and 50 Watts. Kenwood is a good company.
The TK-8180H is a great radio…you won’t be disappointed. Are you planning on using this as a mobile or base radio? I’d be happy to help you with programming/tuning, or can do a video showing you how to program (in detail) if you want to try it on your own. Look me up on Facebook (Craig Beare)…might be easier to communicate/help you out that way, versus on here.
You can program it with Chirp as opposed to the Kenwood KPG-89DN software as well. Depending of the firmware revision, the Kenwood may try to limit you to narrow band.
That is true, although Chirp doesn’t cover all the features of this radio. Yes, you don’t want to use the “DN” version of the Kenwood software if you want wideband.
thankyou this video helped i programmed 3 zone fine got all the func button programmed but what is the A button for and how do i add the ctss tones where do i go and where do i go to add last 3 number of my call sign so other can see it when i transmit
qusetion on the button assignments which one do i put the at in the setting i know where to go from the arrow button to the last button ty for the video
I recently bought a Kenwood TK-8180K from Facebook Marketplace and the seller did not give me an antenna. Which antenna do you have here in your setup?
I’m not familiar with the Retevis radios, so cannot comment there, but I have the 8180H in my truck, and another as a base and they’re awesome radios. You can find them for a little over $200 with bracket, power cord and mic. Not saying the Retevis would not work, but the Kenwoods sound great and have a lot of useful features, and pretty easy to program. If you go that route, you can buy this cable (has FTDI chip so Windows friendly) and he will send you a link to download the programming software as part of the cable purchase. I can assist with programming, if need be. I believe you can use mwgmrs (all lowercase) and get a 10% discount. bluemax49ers.com/product-explorer/kenwood-tk-8180-ftdi-programming-cable-kpg-46/
