Kenwood TS-430s FM 430 board keys up but no modulation
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!

Programming a TK-5320 using KPG-112DN V.2.20 keep getting "LOC" in display before the name of the channel.
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.
I kenwood TK-2000 radios. when I read the radio, all the frequencies listed are vhf frequencies.but when I program a vhf frequency it says it is out of band it can only accept 400 to 440 mhz.
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.
Kenwood TS-2000 Power up fails
You will likely have to do a reset on the radio. The method to do this is hard to find in the manual. I have inserted it below. It usually works for me. Doing a full reset will reset EVERYTHING. It is essentially a last ditch attempt to get the radio going again. I hope this helps
PARTIAL RESET
Perform a Partial Reset if a key or control does not
function according to the instructions in this manual.
The following data is NOT erased by performing a
Partial Reset.
• Memory channel data
• Menu settings
• Antenna tuner preset data
• ANT 1/ANT 2 data.
Reset the transceiver by pressing [A/B]+ POWER
ON.
• "HELLO" appears on the display.
FULL RESET
Perform a Full Reset if you want to erase all the data
in all the memory channels. In addition, this function
resets all the settings that you customized, to the
factory defaults (i.e.- menu settings, antenna tuner
preset data, etc.).
Reset the transceiver by pressing [A=B]+ POWER
ON.
A confirmation message appears when performing
the Full Reset. Press the [A=B] key to proceed.
Otherwise, press any other key to cancel the Full
Reset and return to normal operation.
When you perform the full reset:
• "HELLO" appears on the display.
• All frequencies, modes, memory data and AT
preset data are set to the factory default values
(refer to "INITIAL SETTINGS", above).

Kenwood tk 3131 , used , good shape-- how do I reprogram back to GMRS channels only?
Hi Carter, All is good for you here, the answer is yes to cloning, but you will need the software and cables to do so, if you haven't already got this.If you do require software and cables, ebay is the best and often cheapest way of getting this gear. look under Electronics, Radios, and follow the links to Parts & accessories.Failing that, join yahoo group SPECIFIC to you radio Make/Model, the expert team there will give you all the info you need, plus you can download manuals, schematics and software free.I hope this is the news you've been waiting for.Cheers,Peter
