Kenwood R-600 amateur radio receiver tuning problem

I recently received an older Kenwood R-600 as a gift. Problem is that when I rotate the tunihg knob, the frequency changes infrequently. Mostly it is stuck. Someone suggested that it might be rhw "main encoder". Is this cleanable? No parts seem to be available from Kenwood.

    Thanks so much. I will try to take the back off the case and see if I can find how to access the veined disc.

If its like the older yeasu's, they had a black and white veined disc on the back with opto electronics, dust used to get in and obscure the sensors...
Worth a look.

Kenwood car stereo manual

Crutchfield has the manual on the product page in the Details tab: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-bfT7rFz0tNa/p_113DDX790/Kenwood-Excelon-DDX790.html . Scroll down to the What's in the box section on the right. The direct link to the manual is http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/Manuals/113/113DDX370.PDF .

If you mean the Sirius XM Radio ID to associate the receiver with the Sirius Connect Vehicle Tuner, when in the Sirius XM mode, tune the unit to Channel 0 .

I hope this helps.

My Kenwood Radio (New) for my boat doesn't tune properly on FM. For example, it only tunes to 94,1 or 94,3 but not to 94,2 It is just ,1 digit off the frequency on most stations. Tried it on manua

Hi there,

Kenwood receivers are usually tuned for their intended destination country, hence the frequency "stepping" of the tuners may differ between countries.

Was this receiver originally intended for your country's frequency? If yes, then contact Kenwood customer service for further advice.

If not, contact your local Kenwood service agent and ask whether the frequency stepping can be reprogrammed.

I bought a vehicle that has a kenwood 5120 stereo, i want to hook up the satalite radio and do not know how.

Typically, satellite units get plugged into the antenna input of your radio, then you tune your radio to a specified station to access the satellite tuner

Hello george_nutti,

The model number you posted is for a center channel speaker which has no controls, and not knowing the exact model number it's difficult to be specific.

Some Kenwood KDC models allow you to select one of 3 "tuning modes", 1) AUTO1 - Automatic search for stations; 2) AUTO2 - Search Preset stations; 3) MANUAL - Normal manual tuning control. If your Kenwood is one of these models, you need to set the tuning mode to MANUAL. For Kenwood Excelon HD receivers, direct access tuning is done by using the included remote. 1) Press DIRECT button on the remote; 2) Press number buttons to enter desired channel number; 3) Press DIRECT button again to exit direct tuning.

Hope this helps.

Motorola and Kenwood compatibility....

Hello!! First of all, any radio in the right frequency will work with any other, to work just need the following features: -Frequency, 154.700 which is correct as you said. - the Squelch code, this could be PL or DPL. The XV2100 has a table of codes that you can try, as you dont know this code form the Kenwood, you will need to check one by one. If you have the chance to send the Kenwood to some to "Read" the radio parameters( freq.,Code, ETc) you can look those parameters on the XV. Hope this can help, any comments [email protected] Good Luck
