any radio feature allowing the unit to be. If new old stock, however, you maybe have a unit that will continue to work into the next century, for the amusement of your grand-grand kids. The Kenwood TK-780(H)/880(H) Conventional Mode offers traditional two-way. Always worth a try.ДЄnd are you sure it's new? The radio was discontinued in the past century or shortly after. Some of these sites are known virus/malware sources. BTW - Kenwood provides the programming software (download) for their Amateur Radio products The older DOS based Kenwood programming software can be found on some web pages. Unlike Motorola software.Д¬hirp does not seem to support it, looks like support starts with 860/360 series. The KPG49D should be able to programs the entire Kenwood TK-X80 series. Kenwood software is usually can be found on the Internet laying around sad in the rain, waiting for being picked up.

It's DOS software, so you may need DOS install native or in VirtualBox. It looks like KPG-25D is the software needed. I need the software etc and don't know where to turn to do that and any tricks etc that would be helpful to program it. I did buy a cable that I think will work to program it.

I am trying to find out how to program it with reliable information. Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question. I'd suggest sticking with XP, it is pretty easy to find, and loads and runs quite well. But, that is an issue with any VM software. The only real issue is finding a set of Windows CDs. In fact, an iMac running Windows XP or 7 is actually faster than the same OS running on machines that were available when those OSs were current. Well, it is a bit less user friendly to setup than the commercial VMs and maybe a bit slower, but not enough to worry about, especially since radio programming is mostly reading and writing to the radio which is essentially the same speed in a VM as on a real machine. Since I rarely use Windows, I stick with VirtualBox from Oracle. However, as a Mac user I can say I have never found any radio programming task (Motorola, Vertex and a zillion CCRs with native apps) I could do on a real Windows box that I could not do in a Windows VM on a Mac. I am not a Kenwood user, so I can't comment on the differences between v1 and v2 radios.
