![]() Following the instructions in the service manual, removing a diode I believe, and selecting the self programming option in the software the radio can be field programmed through the front panel. You can find these radios with a full numeric keypad fairly often. You could also look at a somewhat older Kenwood radio model. Again, if anyone with experience with the TK-3173 could confirm that somewhere in the programming software there is the ability to set CTCSS and DCS codes for repeater use it would be appreciated. I also could not find any information about CTCSS and DCS codes in the online manual. I am using two different cables a serial and the usb one on. I am getting the dreaded check com ports and connections message. ![]() I am attempting to program them with KPG-101D v2.4 which I believe is the latest and correct software for these radios. If I am missing something I would appreciate if someone with this radio could let me know. Ok I have 8 TK-2170 radios that a customer traded in. So far it seems that in addition to the radio also needed is the programming softward ( Kenwood KPG-101D) and a good quality programing cable (from bluemax49er). Searching through the forums I think I have a decent handle on what it takes to set up the TK-3173. After going deep down the rabbit hole I am leaning toward the Kenwood TK-3173 handheld, seems like a good quality radio others here use. ![]()
