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.

What is the frequency for the Kenwood TK-3402U-k hand held radio

This is a UHF radio and is programmable by a Kenwood radio dealer. They do not come with any frequencies set into them. They are commercial radios and may be able to be programmed to HAM frequencies, if you are a HAM, or to your licensed commercial frequency. However, these radios may no longer be approved for commercial use in the US.

Can I reprogram my tk-2400 with my PC?

No. It is programmed from the Factory on a chip. Preprogrammed. No software will change it, no hacks. Many Motorola radios like that too. It is two watts, Vhf of Uhf, you did not say. If your existing frequencies are Business Band and in the same frequency band (Vhf or Uhf) you can get it to match those.

HOW CAN I PROGRAM MY KENWOOD TK768.I DO NOT NEED IT CHANNELIZED

If I am not mistaken the TK 768 can only operate in a channel based manner as it is a land mobile radio, not a ham radio. The TK line is Kenwoods Land Mobile ( commercial trucks, taxi cabs and so on) line. these radios are meant to be operated on specific frequencies that are limited and assigned by the FCC . While the can be reprogrammed for ham radio frequencies legally, being designed for land mobile use, they are limited to the single fequency/frequency pair programmed into the channelized set up they use.

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
