Kenwood tk760h ham band conversion

Here goes. Yes, your Baofeng Ham radios could be programmed onto a business band channel. Yes, it could transmit. BUT, ham radios do not meet the stringent requirements that Business Band radios do. This refers to channel spacing, interference and a long list that Business radios are required to have to make operation legal. Therefore, your Baofeng makes a great scanner. Business band frequencies are to be used by radios meeting these stringent requirements in order to prevent interference. Failure to follow the FCC Rules could result in a hefty fine. Didn't you wonder about the price difference?

There are more steps than just powering the radio on while pressing the function key. Please review the steps listed on this page: http://www.manualslib.com/manual/86675/Kenwood-Tm-V71a.html?page=95

Get the schematics, isolate the circuits, and apply the fix. But... You probably want all those details.

You will be very displeased with that setup, the D104 mic was designed and meant to be used with high impedance radios and the Kenwood is not one. The audio if hooked up would be garbled and very weak.

Get a programming cable on e-bay and the software from Kenwood's site.

Hi Carson,

The manual isn't online to my knowledge however I did find a guide on how to program it.
"Turn it on. Push the "MANUAL" button to stop it from scanning.

Push number 1, then push "MANUAL" again. This should leave you on
channel one.

Using the keypad enter the frequency you want to monitor, then push
"E." Press "REVIEW" at anytime to see what frequency is programmed
there. If the review button flashes 000.0000 on the LED readout
display, you might be entering an invalid frequency. Refer to the list
of acceptable frequencies in the Frequency Range Bands below.

Push "MANUAL" to step to channel number two. Enter the frequency. Push
"E." Push "MANUAL" to step to channel three. Repeat this process until
all the (10) channels are full, or you've run out of frequencies to
enter.

Push "SCAN" to start automatically scanning the frequencies. The
radio will stop when it hears someone talking, and resume scanning two
seconds after the conversation has stopped.

Frequency Range Bands:

20 to 29.7 MHz (10 Meter "Ham" Band)
29.7 to 50 MHz (VHF Low Band)
50 to 54 MHz (6 Meter Amateur Band)
136 to 144 MHz (Military Land Mobile)
144 to 148 MHz (2 Meter "Ham" Band)
406 to 420 MHz (Federal Government Land Mobile)
420 to 450 MHz (70cm "Ham" Band)
450 to 470 MHz (UHF Standard Band)
470 to 512 MHz (UHF "T" Band)"

Hope this helps.

If you buy a programming cable and the software, yes. Unless you're a certified technician (or you're an Amateur using it in the Ham Bands) programming a commercial radio is illegal.

Its so easy to use you really don't need a manual for the Uniden BC

Push MANUAL to step to channel number two. Enter the frequency. Push E. Push MANUAL to step to channel three. Repeat this process until all ten channels are programmed, or you've run out of frequencies to enter.

Push "SCAN" to start automatically scanning the frequencies. The
radio will stop when it hears someone talking, and resume scanning two

It doesn't appear to cover the ham bands, only maritime. This radio is also not type approved for operation on ham bands either.

You can find the freq. range in the manual at the link below:
