The Kenwood TK-370 is a versatile 32 channel portable radio, capable to deliver up to 5W in UHF from 380 MHz up to 500 MHz. Of course, with some tuning in the front end receiving section...
You can use KPG-27D software (DOS based) or you can choose the easy way for programming from the keyboard.
Here is the algorithm for keyboard programming:
To enter in the programming sequence, press and hold (light) & (dial) while turning on radio.
Hold until (SEL) appears on the display.
You can choose three sets of menu items, depending on what key is pressed after entering into programming mode.
To advance in the menu items, press PTT. At the end of the menu commands set, will be shown on the LCD.
Pressing (SCN) allows you to program the following
1. Monitor Key
Off = off
1 = Monitor momentary
2 = Monitor Lock
3 = Squelch off momentary
