Hello! My Kenwood tk 760 radio no longer lights up its orange LED. Can this be programmed?

[@Radionut63]

I don't think there is a setting for that, but if it were, would be called Backlight in the program.

[@lorenzosmeridian6575]

Can you please do a video of manually programming this radio and explaining what the features are? There are a couple videos out there, but they are in Spanish. I just got this radio second hand for logging, and learned how to plug in the frequencies, but with all the other options in manual-mode; it would be nice to get an explanation for. Thanks

[@Radionut63]

I will see what i can do for you. :-)

[@lorenzosmeridian6575]

what does tone mean after some frequencies. sorry i'm new and all the googling is confusing

[@Radionut63]

Tone is what is known as CTCSS, Just means the receiver "Squelch" will not open unless it hears a matching tone from another transmitter. ;-)

[@cujo229]

Is there a way to assign channel names with the program software

[@Radionut63]

Not for the TK760, This radio will only display channel numbers

Which program are you using? You will require the KPG-29D to program this type of radio. The program runs in DOS and will run ok on Windows-7

[@javitec01]

Yes, on Windows 7 , on kpg 29d doesn't work either
