I do not know this specific radio model. However, most of these have the spring (antenna) soldered onto the main board. That is the antenna. Find a broken radio and carefully remove the sheath (antenna cover) and glue it on. In the meantime, you could try a number of things since they do not sell the parts: triple wrap in high quality electrical tape (HIGH quality). Use RTV sealant and "mold" your own using a screwdriver or tools of choice. I made one this way, them wrapped it in tape. Do not use anything metallic or with metal in it. But GMRS radios are pretty much limited in parts. All brands.

GMRS operation is only legal on the fifteen frequency channels which are designed into the unit. What makes you think that there are hidden frequencies?

You may have the "tx offset" turned on and may be trying to transmit on a frequency that is considered "out of band" for the radio. Or the frequency you're attempting to transmit on is simply out of band for that radio. It depends on where in the world you're using the radio. If it was a Euro or Japan radio and you're in the US or South America, the bands are different.

Charger should be able to power the radio at 'EL' level, if NOTHNG happens, I'd say charger is on the blink.

Hin, On most new models of Kenwood two-way radios, the user can lock the MENU and up/down buttons. To lock/unlock, press on the menu button (a second or 2) until you hear a beep or till the lock icon in the display appear/disappear. Hope this be of some help/idea. Post back how things turn up or should you need further information. Good luck and kind regards.

Look at the user manuals for both radios and compare the frequency assignment for each channel. find the ones that match and program the radios to talk to each other.

Hello jf1111,

It could be a low battery. Does the screen go completely blank when you attempt to transmit? Two way radios draw a lot more power when transmitting then when receiving so a low battery might cause the radio to cut out when you press the Push-to-Talk and then the radios might appear to turn back on when you release the PTT. If this behavior persists even after charging the battery then the battery or charger (or both) might be defective.

If the battery isn't the issue then the radio could be programmed incorrectly. Does the problem occur on all channels or just one? The Kenwood ProTalk requires dealer programming with a software kit to set the frequencies for each channel. A channel that is programmed for an out of bounds frequencies would generate an error when the PTT is pressed. You might need to have the programming checked out by your local Kenwood Two-Way radio shop.

Best Regards,
Ken

Not sure I understand what you want. If you need to buy some new batteries, do a google search. They're available at many sites....

First, clean all the connectors associated with this board. Over time they can get corrosion built up on them and they stop conducting. Use De-OXIT or Isopropyl alcohol to clean them. You may have to clean the deviation control on the board or replace C* and C10. I doubt if the microphone amplifier, Q1, is bad but if you can check the voltages around it, that might give you a clue. This problem shouldn't be too hard to fix as the rest of the radio is working. Good Luck!

Yes, radio. Check your cable. Is it OEM? Try plugging it into the radio before launching the software. Then try after launching the software. Is it a USB or Serial cable? If serial, the USB adapters often do not work. I have one brand of radio where I need to restart the computer each time I program so it will read the Serial to USB correctly. Even then, I may need to go into device manager and enable/disable it 2-5 times. I do not know if the software is the latest, but if a radio is programmed with the newest software, you cannot go back to an older version 90% of the time.

Based on the information you provided, it seems like the Kenwood TK-2000 radios you have may have been programmed with the wrong band split. The TK-2000 is available in both VHF and UHF frequency ranges, and it's possible that the radios you have are actually UHF models, despite being listed as VHF frequencies when you read the radios. To check if your radios are UHF or VHF, look for a label on the back of the radio that specifies the frequency range. If it says UHF, then the radios can only accept frequencies in the 400-440 MHz range. If it says VHF, then the radios should be able to accept frequencies in the VHF frequency range. If you've confirmed that the radios are indeed VHF models, then it's possible that the band split settings may need to be adjusted in the programming software to match the specific VHF frequencies you're trying to program. I recommend checking the manual for your programming software to ensure that you have selected the correct band split settings before programming the radios. If you're still having issues, it may be helpful to contact Kenwood customer support for further assistance.
