MOBILE INSTALLATION
Select a
safe, convenient location inside your vehicle that will minimize danger to
your passengers and yourself while the vehicle is in motion. Consider installing
the transceiver under the dash in front of the passenger seat so that knees
or legs
will not strike the radio during sudden braking of your vehicle.
Try to pick
a well-ventilated location that is shielded from direct
sunlight.
Note: You may experience interference on your GPS receiver
when using in or around 438.8 MHz
(A band) and/or 443.8 MHz (B band). To
eliminate the interference, ensure that the transceiver is
installed at a
location separate from your GPS receiver.
1 Install the mounting
bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self-tapping
screws and flat
washers (4 of each are supplied).
· The bracket can be mounted with the
bracket opening facing down, for under dash
mounting, or facing up.
·
The bracket must be installed so that the 3 screw slots on the edge of each
bracket
side are facing the back.
Self-tapping screw (5 x 6 mm)and Flat
washer
2 Position the transceiver, then insert and tighten the
supplied hexagon SEMS
screws and flat washers (4 of each are supplied, 2
for each side of the bracket).
· Ensure that all hardware is tightened, to
prevent vehicle vibration from loosening the
bracket or transceiver.
SEMS screw (M4 x 0 mm)
· Set an appropriate angle for the main unit, using
the 3 screw slots on the rear edge
of each bracket side.
POWER CABLE CONNECTION
Mobile Operation
Be sure to use a 12V vehicle battery that has
sufficient current capacity. If
the current to the transceiver is
insufficient, the display may darken during
transmission or the transmit
output power may drop excessively. Never
connect the transceiver to a 24V
battery
Note: If you use the transceiver for a long period when the
vehicle battery is not fully charged
or when the engine is OFF, the battery
may become discharged and will not have sufficient
reserves to start the
vehicle. Avoid using the transceiver under these conditions.
1 Route
the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly to the
vehicle's
battery terminals using the shortest path from the transceiver.
· When using
a noise filter, it should be installed with an insulator to prevent it from
touching metal on the vehicle.
· We do not recommend using a cigarette
lighter socket as some cigarette lighter
sockets introduce an unacceptable
voltage drop.
· If the power cable must be routed through a hole in the
vehicle chassis or body,
for example in the firewall at the front of the
passenger compartment, use a
rubber grommet to protect the cable from
abrasion. Dismantle the fuse holder to
pass the cable through the
firewall.
· The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is isolated
from heat,
moisture, and the engine secondary (high voltage) ignition
system/ cables.
2 After the cable is in place, wind heat-resistant
tape around the fuse holder
to protect it from moisture. Tie down the full
run of cable.
3 To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect
other wiring from the
negative (-) battery terminal before connecting the
transceiver.
4 Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, then
attach the power cable
to the battery terminals; red connects to the
positive (+) terminal and black
connects to the negative (-) terminal.
· Use the full length of the cable without cutting off excess, even if the cable
is
longer than required. In particular, never remove the fuse holders from
the cable.
5 Reconnect any wiring removed from the negative
terminal.
6 Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver.
· Press
the connectors firmly together until the locking tab clicks.
Fixed Station Operation
In
order to use this transceiver for fixed station operation, you will need a
separate 13.8V DC power supply that must be purchased separately. The
recommended current capacity of the power supply is 2 A.
Note: Do not
plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all
connections.
1 Ensure that the transceiver and DC power supply are
both OFF.
2 Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power
supply and ensure
that the polarities are correct (Red: positive, Black:
negative).
· Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a
regulated
power supply. Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC
outlet.
· Do not substitute the cable with smaller gauge wires.
3
Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver.
· Press the connectors firmly
together until the locking tab clicks.
Note: For your transceiver to
fully exhibit its performance capabilities, we recommend using
an optional
PS-33 (20.5 A, 25% duty cycle) power supply.
Replacing Fuses
If the fuse blows,
determine the cause, then correct the problem. After the
problem is
resolved, replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses continue to
blow,
disconnect the power cable and contact your authorized Kenwood
dealer or an authorized Kenwood service center for assistance.

Only use fuses of the specified type and rating; otherwise the transceiver
could be damaged.
ANTENNA CONNECTION
Before
operating, you must first install an efficient, well-tuned antenna. The
success of your installation will depend largely on the type of antenna and its
correct installation. The transceiver can give excellent results if the
antenna
system and its installation are given careful attention.
Use a
low-loss coaxial feed line that also has a characteristic impedance of
50
ohms, to match the transceiver input impedance. Coupling the antenna to the
transceiver via feed lines having an impedance other than 50 ohms reduces the
efficiency of the antenna system and can cause interference to nearby
broadcast
television receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic
equipment.
Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other matched
load may damage the
transceiver. Always connect the antenna to the
transceiver before transmitting.
All fixed stations should be equipped with
a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and/or
transceiver damage.
FRONT PANEL ORIENTATION
This
transceiver allows you to change the orientation of the front panel.
Depending on where/how you installed the transceiver you may wish to flip the
front panel upside-down for easier operation.
1 On the right side
of the front panel, pull the panel release latch forward.
2 Slide the
front panel to the left, then pull it away from the main body of the
transceiver.
3 Flip the front panel upside-down, then reattach it to
the main body of the transceiver.
ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS
External Speakers
If you plan to use external speakers, choose
speakers with an impedance of
8 ohms. The external speaker jacks accept a
3.5 mm (1/8") mono (2-conductor)
plug. We recommend using SP-50B
speakers.
There are 2 speaker jacks on the rear of the transceiver: SP 1 and
SP 2.
Refer to
"External Speaker Configuration" to determine how the speakers will be
used.
Microphone
To communicate using voice, connect the supplied
microphone to the MIC jack
on the left side of the transceiver. Press
firmly on the plug until the locking tab clicks.

OPERATING THROUGH
REPEATERS
Repeaters are often installed and maintained by radio clubs,
sometimes with the
cooperation of local businesses involved in the
communications industry.
Compared to simplex communication, you can usually
transmit over much greater
distances by using a repeater. Repeaters are
typically located on mountain tops
or other elevated locations. They
generally operate at higher ERP (Effective
Radiated Power) than a typical
station. This combination of elevation and high
ERP allows communications
over considerable distances.
REPEATER ACCESS
Most repeaters use
a receive and transmit frequency pair with a standard or
non-standard
offset (odd-split). In addition, some repeaters must receive a tone
from
the transceiver in order to gain access to the repeater. For details, consult
your local repeater reference.
Selecting an Offset Direction
The offset direction allows your
transmit frequency to be higher (+) or lower (-)
than the receive
frequency.
1 Select your desired band (A or B).
2 Press
[F], [REV] to select an offset direction.
· Each time you press
[F], [REV], the offset direction changes as follows:
Simplex
operation >> + >> - >> Simplex operation
· If you are
using an E type transceiver, when operating on the 430 MHz band, the
offset
direction changes as follows:
Simplex operation >> + >> -
>> = (-7.6 MHz) >> Simplex operation
If the offset transmit
frequency falls outside the allowable range, transmitting
is inhibited. Use
one of the following methods to bring the transmit frequency
within the
band limits:
· Move the receive frequency further inside the band.
·
Change the offset direction.
Note: While using an odd-split memory
channel or transmitting, you cannot change the offset direction.
Selecting an Offset
Frequency
The offset frequency is the value which the transmit
frequency will be offset
from the receive frequency. The default offset
frequency on the 144 MHz
band is 600 kHz for all type versions. The default
on the 430/440 MHz band is 5 MHz.
1 Select your desired band (A or
B).
2 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 400 (OFFSET).
3 Set
the appropriate offset frequency value.
· The selectable range is from 00.00
MHz to 29.95 MHz, in steps of 50 kHz.
Note: After changing the offset
frequency, the new offset frequency will also be used by
Automatic Repeater
Offset.
Activating the Tone Function
To turn the Tone function
on:
1 Select your desired band (A or B).
2 Press
[TONE] to turn the Tone function ON.
· Each time you press
[TONE], the selection changes as follows:
None >> T (Tone)
>> CT (CTCSS) >> DCS (DCS) >> None
· The icon appears on
the display when the tone function is ON.
Note: When accessing a
repeater that requires a 1750 Hz tone, you do not need to activate
the Tone
function. Simply press the key assigned to the 1750 Hz tone to transmit the
tone.
Selecting a Tone Frequency
To select the tone frequency required
to access your desired repeater:
1 Turn the Tone function
ON.
2 Press [F], [TONE].
· The current tone frequency
appears on the display. The default frequency is 88.5 Hz.
3 Rotate the
Tuning control to select your desired frequency.
· To exit the tone
frequency selection, press [F] (ESC).
4 Press any key other
than the Tuning control and [F] (ESC) to set the selected
frequency.
Note: If you have set up a Memory channel with a tone
setting, simply recall the Memory
channel instead of setting up the tone
frequency every time.

TRANSMITTING A 1750 Hz
TONE
Most repeaters in Europe require that a transceiver transmit a
1750 Hz tone.
By turning the 1750 Hz tone menu item ON, the transceiver
will automatically
transmit the 1750 Hz tone for 2 seconds whenever you
transmit.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 402 (1750.HD).
2
Set the tone to ON or OFF.
· When set to ON, the 1750 Hz tone will transmit.
When set to OFF, the tone will not be transmitted.
REVERSE FUNCTION
After setting a
separate receive and transmit frequency, you can exchange these
frequencies
using the Reverse function. This allows you to manually check the
strength
of signals you receive directly from other stations, while using a repeater.
If the station's signal is strong, move to a simplex frequency to continue
the
contact and free up the repeater.
Press [REV] to turn the
Reverse function ON or OFF.
· When the Reverse function is ON, the icon will
appear on the display.
Note:
If the transmit frequency is outside
the allowable transmit frequency range when using
Reverse, pressing
[PTT] will cause an error tone to sound and transmission will be
inhibited.
If the receive frequency is outside the receive frequency range
when using Reverse, an error
tone will sound and Reverse will not
operate.
The ARO (Automatic Repeater Offset) will not function when Reverse
is ON.
You cannot switch Reverse ON or OFF while transmitting.
AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECKER
(ASC)
While using a repeater, ASC periodically monitors the strength of
signals you
receive directly from the other stations. If the station's
signal is strong enough to
allow direct contact without a repeater, the
icon blinks.
Press [REV] (1s) to turn the ASC ON.
When the ASC is
ON, the icon will appear on the display.
· While direct contact is possible,
without the use of a repeater, the icon will begin blinking.
· To exit ASC,
press [REV].
Note:
Pressing [PTT] will cause the
icon to stop blinking.
ASC does not function if you are using simplex
operation.
ASC does not function while scanning.
Activating ASC while
using Reverse will switch the Reverse function OFF.
If you recall a Memory
channel or the Call channel, and those channels are set up with the
Reverse
function switched ON, the ASC will switch OFF.
ASC causes received signals
to be momentarily intermitted every 3 seconds.
TONE FREQUENCY ID
This function
scans through all tone frequencies to identify the incoming tone
frequency
on a received signal. You can use this function to find which tone
frequency is required by your local repeater.
1 Press [TONE] to
switch the Tone function ON.
· The icon appears on the display.

(ESC) if you do not want to program the identified frequency.
MEMORY CHANNELS
In Memory channels,
you can store frequencies and related data that you often
use. Then you
need not reprogram the data every time. You can quickly recall a
programmed
channel by simple operation. A total of 1000 Memory channels are
available
for bands A and B.
SIMPLEX &
REPEATER OR ODD-SPLIT MEMORY CHANNEL?
You can use each memory channel
as a simplex & repeater channel or as an odd-
split channel. Store only
one frequency to use as a simplex & repeater channel or
two separate
frequencies to use as an odd-split channel. Select either application
for
each channel depending on the operations you have in mind.
Simplex &
repeater channels allow:
· Simplex frequency operation
· Repeater
operation with a standard offset (if an offset direction is stored)
Odd-split channels allow:
· Repeater operation with a non-standard
offset

PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY (PM)
Programmable Memory (PM) stores virtually all settings currently set on
the
transceiver. This transceiver provides 5 PM channels to store 5 sets of
transceiver configurations. Later, you can quickly recall any one of these
channels, depending on the operations you have in mind or the operating
environment.
The following programmable settings cannot be stored:
·
Memory name
· Memory channel lockout
· Channel Display mode
·
Locked-band/ Cross-band Repeater ON/OFF 1
· Repeater mode 1
· Repeater
hold 1
· Repeater ID transmit 1
· Registered repeater ID 1
·
Wireless remote control 1
· Answer back 1
· Remote control ID 1
·
Key lock
· Power on password 2
· Memory channel/ Call channel/ Program
scan memory
· Weather channel 1
· DTMF memory
· EchoLink memory
· PC port speed
· 10 MHz mode 2
· Mic sensitivity 2
· SQC data
output logic 2
1 K type only
2 Can be set only by using the MCP-2A
software.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES
The
following are examples of how you might use Programmable Memory. These
examples may not represent applications useful to you, but you will understand
the flexibility of this function.
Situation: You share your
transceiver with other members in your family or
club. However, each
individual has personal preferences for how they like to set
various
functions. You have to keep changing many settings each time you use the
transceiver.
Solution: Because 5 PM channels are available, up to 5
persons can separately
program the transceiver and store their customized
environment. Then each
person can quickly change to his or her favorite
settings, simply by recalling a
PM channel. It is too much trouble to
change back the settings after somebody
else has reconfigured them. So this
application may avoid having a feature-rich
transceiver but never using
many useful features.
Situation: While operating mobile on the
way to work every morning, you prefer
a silent transceiver that does not
interrupt the morning calm. In addition, you feel
that a bright display is
useless in the sunlight. At night when driving home, you
realize the Beep
function truly does serve a purpose and you acknowledge it is
nice to see a
bright display after dark.
Solution: In 2 PM channels, store the same
operating data such as frequency,
offset, tone, etc, and store different
settings for the Display brightness and Beep
functions. Then you can
quickly recall the best settings for day or night operation.
Situation: You cannot figure out how to exit the current transceiver
mode.
Solution: Simply recall PM channel 1, which contains an exact
copy of the
transceiver default environment. You will not lose the contents
of any memory
channels.

SCAN
Scan is a useful feature for hands-off
monitoring of your favorite frequencies.
Becoming comfortable with all
types of Scan will increase your operating efficiency.
This transceiver
provides the following types of scans:
Scan Type
Scan
Range
VFO Scan
Scans all frequencies on the current band.
Memory
Scan
Scans all frequencies stored in the Memory channels.
Group Scan
Scans the frequencies in the Memory channels which belong to the group you have
specified.
Program Scan
Scans all frequencies within the programmed
range, on the current band.
MHz Scan
Scans all frequencies within a 1
MHz range from the originating frequency.
Call Scan
Scans the Call
channel as well as the currently selected VFO frequency or Memory
channel.
Note:
Adjust the squelch level before using Scan.
Selecting a squelch level too low could cause
Scan to stop immediately.
While using CTCSS or DCS, Scan stops for any signal received; however, you will
hear audio
only when the signal contains the same CTCSS tone or DCS code
that you selected.
When using S-meter Squelch, Scan stops when the received
signal strength matches or
exceeds the S-meter setting. Scan resumes 2
seconds after the signal level drops below the
S-meter setting.
Pressing and holding [PTT] causes Scan to temporarily stop if it is
functioning on a non TX band.
Starting Scan switches the Automatic Simplex
Checker OFF.
SELECTING A SCAN RESUME
METHOD
The transceiver stops scanning at a frequency or Memory channel
on which a
signal is detected. It then continues scanning according to
which resume mode
you have selected. You can choose one of the following
modes. The default is
Time-operated mode.
· Time-Operated mode
The transceiver remains on a busy frequency or Memory channel for
approximately 5 seconds, and then continues to scan even if the signal is still
present.
· Carrier-Operated mode
The transceiver remains on a
busy frequency or Memory channel until the
signal drops out. There is a 2
second delay between signal drop-out and scan resumption.
· Seek mode
The transceiver remains on a busy frequency or Memory channel even after
the signal drops out and does not automatically resume
scanning.
Note: To temporarily stop scanning and monitor weak signals,

continuous transmission, the
protective circuit may function to lower transmit
output power.
TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)
It is sometimes
necessary or desirable to restrict a single transmission to a
specific
maximum time. You may use this function to prevent repeater time-outs
when
accessing repeaters, or to conserve battery power.
When TOT times out
(default is 10 minutes), the transceiver generates beeps and
automatically
returns to receive mode. To resume transmitting, release and then
press the
microphone [PTT] again.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 109
(TOT).

CROSS-BAND/ LOCKED-BAND
OPERATION (K TYPE MODELS ONLY)
This transceiver is capable of receiving
signals on one band and re-transmitting
signals on the other band. This
function repeats signals originating from one
band, using the other band.
For example, a signal received on band A (VHF) is
retransmitted on band B
(UHF). Similarly, a signal received on band B (UHF) is
retransmitted on
band A (VHF).
Locked-band Repeater: The transceiver uses the same
band to receive or
transmit a signal. You can set either the A band (A-TX)
or B band (B-TX) as the
transmit band.
Cross-band Repeater:
If receiving a signal on the TX band, the transceiver
switches the
current RX only band to the TX band. This is useful when joining
in a group
talk. Participants in a group talk need to set a receive and transmit
frequency on different bands so as not to miss any conversation within the
group.

Notices to the User
One or more
of the following statements may be applicable:
FCC WARNING
This
equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to
this
equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are
expressly approved in the
instruction manual. The user could lose the
authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized
change or
modification is made.
INFORMATION TO THE
DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIRED BY THE FCC
This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can generate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee
that the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the
equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer for technical assistance.
WHEN
CONDENSATION OCCURS INSIDE THE TRANSCEIVER
Condensation may occur
inside the transceiver in such a case where the room is warmed using a
heater on cold days or where the transceiver is quickly moved from a cold room
to a warm room.
When condensation occurs, the microcomputer and/or the
transmit/receive circuits may become
unstable, resulting in transceiver
malfunction. If this happens, turn OFF the transceiver and just
wait for a
while. When the condensation droplets disappear, the transceiver will function
normally.
WARNING!
• EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES (GASES,
DUST, FUMES, etc.)
Turn OFF your transceiver while taking on fuel or while
parked in gasoline service stations. Do
not carry spare fuel containers in
the trunk of your vehicle if your transceiver is mounted in the trunk
area.
• INJURY FROM RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS
Do not operate your
transceiver when somebody is either standing near to or touching the
antenna, to avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or related physical
injury.
• DYNAMITE BLASTING CAPS
Operating the transceiver within 150
m (500 feet) of dynamite blasting caps may cause them
to explode. Turn OFF
your transceiver when in an area where blasting is in progress, or
where
“TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO” signs have been posted. If you are
transporting blasting caps
in your vehicle, make sure they are carried in a
closed metal box with a padded interior. Do not
transmit while the caps are
being placed into or removed from the container.
Precautions
Observe the following
precautions to prevent fire, personal injury, and transceiver damage.
• When
operating mobile, do not attempt to configure the transceiver while driving; it
is too dangerous.
• Do not transmit with high output power for extended
periods. The transceiver may overheat.
• Do not disassemble or modify the
transceiver for any reason, unless instructed by this
manual or by Kenwood
documentation.
• Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of direct
sunlight, nor place it near heating appliances.
• Do not place the
transceiver in excessively dusty, humid, or wet areas, nor on unstable
surfaces.
• If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the
transceiver, switch the
transceiver power off immediately, and contact a
Kenwood service station or your dealer.
• Use of the transceiver while you
are driving may be against traffic laws. Please check
and observe the
vehicle regulations in your area.
• Do not use options not specified by
Kenwood.
CAUTION!
• The transceiver is designed for
a 13.8V DC (±15%) power source! Never use a 24V battery
to power the
transceiver. Check the battery polarity and voltage of the vehicle before
installing the transceiver.
• Use only the supplied DC power cable or a
Kenwood optional DC power cable.
• Do not insert metal objects into the
cooling fan.
WARNING!
• Do not
cut and/or remove the fuse holder on the DC power cable. Improper connections
and/or
current surges may cause smoke or fire.
• For passenger safety,
install the transceiver securely using the supplied mounting bracket and
screw set so the transceiver will not break loose in the event of a
collision.
• Various electronic equipment in your vehicle may malfunction if
they are not properly protected
from the radio frequency energy which is
present while transmitting. Electronic fuel injection,
anti-skid braking,
and cruise control systems are typical examples of equipment that may
malfunction. If your vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the
make of
vehicle and enlist his/her aid in determining if they will perform
normally while transmitting.
