Kenwood NX-700 Programming

[@Ablayz]

Where can I find a programming guide for this? I have the cable and program. Thanks

[@r.w.leblanc6326]

Totally Totally Cool information and totally cool Radio Very very Interesting

[@scottmitseff4402]

Hello, I purchased a NX-700k this past week and have also acquired the correct programming cable and software. I also have read and writen the radio now and its been working very well. I was wondering about scanning multiple zone frequencies simultaneously, its appears to be able to do that according to the build sheet flyer however I've been unable to figure that out. I can however scan a zone only at one time not all the zones are you able to offer any tips on that by chance? Thank you in advance.

[@Radionut63]

At the moment my NX700 is sitting on a remote hilltop used as a Packet node. But i have other rigs here that i can try reprogramming and get back to you on a solution.

[@cnick6]

AFAIK you can only scan the active zone. Same with my TK-5720.

[@zohirotambekov4720]

Hello...we bought a kenwood repeater NXR-710/810...could you help with the programming?

[@Radionut63]

Very easy to program those repeaters. What do you need to know?

[@Radio48]

Do you take radios and program / reprogram? I have 2 700h radios that need to be cleared and reprogrammed for the 2 meter ham band .

[@Radionut63]

Yes i can reprogram them for you. :-)

[@gc7967]

Does anyone know why my keenwood MX700h keeps turning off when I use the PPT?

[@Radionut63]

More then likely, you have Busy signal PTT lockout turned on and the radio is seeing a signal, it will prevent the radio from transmitting and will also beep. The radio will also beep if the wrong frequency range is enter into programming.

[@gc7967]

@Radionut63 thanks for the quick reply. It never shut off before but next time I'm home,I'll take a look.the power cable seems fine and truck batteries are good.

Where can I purchase one for firefighter use? because I been looking for one about 3 weeks now and I don’t know where to buy one at.

[@Radionut63]

Which fire department do you work for?

[@hamradio1555]

would you go through the process of programing in 146.685 with an offset of -.6 and a tone of 114.8. this is our ham repeater. I want to program this into my radio that I use with our fire department.

[@Radionut63]

Yes sure thing, i will try and remember to get a video up over the next couple of days for you. :-)

Whoops, totally forgot, i have the equipment home now to program that radio. what is it you want me to show you?

OK

[@seanb440]

Hi would this same software program the Kenwood NX-7---E

[@Radionut63]

May be able to program the "E" version, but depends on how the radio programmed firmware wise, sometimes the program will ignore radios from other countries when it comes to programming them.

[@blackgoldestates172]

thought you might have programmed some digital channels

[@Radionut63]

I know many services that are digital, but i will not show that information here on KZbin. Sorry.

[@jasonhartzel3868]

How does a person print the zones?

[@Radionut63]

Print the zones? as in paper copy?

[@MrAdvan86]

Hi im a bit of a newbie, I have managed to get my radio into un program mode (Says UNPROG on the screen) and wont read any channels whatsoever, It was a old cb that only had 10 or so channels on it and i wanted to write 80 channel UHF to it, Is there a way to write it onto it as whatever i choose to write to it still shows no channels is there something im missing here thanks

[@Radionut63]

NX700 is VHF only, you can not write UHF frequencies to this radio.

[@MrAdvan86]

@@Radionut63 I have a TK-8160, I have managed to get it going but am having trouble imputing the freq's in, Is there a doc file so i can do it automatic or do i have to type each one in manual I need the australian 80 channel list put in Thanks

[@1SnuffySmith]

@@MrAdvan86 The files that you are thinking of have the extensions .dat and .srt, no doc or text files. If you have a dat file already made up then yes, you can flash your TK-8160. Just make sure it came from that or another of the same type of radio or it may not take. If you end up having to build your own channel sets be sure to save it as a .dat file on your computer and backup on a stick. It's always handy as an option if you screw up in subsequent mods.

I’m having a problem finding a download, what site other than kenwood would you recommended? The kenwood site seems to only offer other countries not American version. Or is that fine ?

[@Radionut63]

Kenwood dealer would sure to help you out!

[@natspublicfilmingrights6990]

Can you program a kenwood on a GMSR frequency

[@Radionut63]

it is possible.. yes. :-)

[@natspublicfilmingrights6990]

But would still need a ham license to buy the radio still if I were to use it just on a gmsr frequency

[@Radionut63]

Legally you would not be allowed to use this type radio on GMRS regardless if you have a amateur license or not, because this radio is not type accepted to be used for that purpose.. So the answer to your question is NO and NO.

[@YU5CF-sv2cq]

this a ham radio? correct??

[@Radionut63]

This is a commercial radio that is able to transmit inside the ham bands... so take your pick.

[@jamestitus1324]

What programming are you useing

[@Radionut63]

Hi bought a NX 700 used. Went to program it and the security won’t let me set anything. Now what?

[@Radionut63]

What do you mean security? It is password protected?

[@brianveitenheimer4492]

Radionut63 I got it from a surplus bus that was used at a mining company. It was still programmed for their use. I don’t have the password for it. Could it be reset or something?

[@Radionut63]

Good question. Not to sure about that. Might have to send to a Kenwood dealer near you to reset. Personally i have not across that before. But in the mean time i play with the one i have here and see what happens.

[@WPGinterceptor460Interceptor]

what happened with this? were you able to erase and program@@brianveitenheimer4492

[@leskeegan9033]

@@brianveitenheimer4492 Create a new code plug and overwrite that file. Or just create that new file and ignore that. Start with a clean programming page.

Where did you download the software program from?
