Kenwood UHF radio

[Michael Mackay-Blair]

I about to aquire a Kenwood TK 805DX. Does any one have any info on this
radio and/or a link to a Manual.

All my friend told me is that it is a 16 channel UHF (FM) Mobile radio. I
only need 16 Channels for what I need it for but would like to know more
about it.

** Two way UHF radio systems (other than the 40 ch 477 MHz CB band )
require a government licence to operate - and they tell you what
frequencies you can have. You sound clueless enough not to realise this.

I am not going to get into a slinging match with you as you are clueless
enough not to read my post. It is a UHF CB with 16 channels.....I have a
Uniden UH -053 that only has 16 channels. It to is a UHF CB. It mearly have
asked for a Manual so I can fit it to a car. and know the Caps and lims of
the CTSS pad. I also want to program it for Selcall. and the specific UHF CB
channel I use IE channel 15 channel 22,23.and channel 40, and you being so
cluey will know why I want channel 22 and 23 then wont you.

** What was it I did not read ???

Words you did not actually post ??

It is a UHF CB with 16 channels....

** Then why did you **wrongly** call it and I quote : " UHF (FM) Mobile
radio " instead ??????

That title indicates a commercial two way system.

No you assumed I meant Commercial I stated neither. Most people would know I
meant CB when asking about UHF unless I had said otherwise. I could well
have said that I am using radios in the UHF band with a freq of 407Mhz and
then you be correct in assuming that I was using commercial frequencies.
Most people who have anything to do with radio work under the knowledge that
if someone says UHF in a private capacity they are referring to UHF CB. Any
where I have worked if someone comes in and asks for a UHF radio we usually
set them up with a UHF CB, but then you in the city really do not understand
vagaries of the bush do you. But as you a jack of all trades and a master of
none you would know that. Plus you the world expert on everything electronic
still haven't answered one part of my question where am I using 476.950 MHz
and 476.975 MHz?

No it doesn't.

Since when was a (non base station) 70cm amateur radio or a UHF
CB NOT a "UHF (FM) mobile"?

Stop trying to pick fights with people Phil - either answer
their questions or keep your mouth shut.

Thanks for that Mike. And you beat me. Iwas going to suggest Space based
comms in the 1.2GHz range was still considered UHF.

But Phil was correct in a way - the Kenwood TK805 is NOT a "UHF CB radio",
it is a 16 channel commercial 2-way radio that can be programmed for UHF CB
frequencies as well as a variety of other frequencies.

Perhaps the OP and others should research things a little better first -
this radio can be programmed a number of ways depending on what the original
owner wanted.....

No, but just common sense and makes life far easier for others that are
reading your post and may not be familiar with the entire subject.

Also (as much as I hate saying this), before you abuse Phil for telling you
that the radio is a commercial unit and the licence tells you what freq's
are programmed into it, you should research and discover that this
transceiver is NOT sold as a UHF CB. It is intented as a 16channel 25W UHF
COMMERCIAL transceiver that can be programmed with the frequencies and
options required. UHF CB channels are just some of the freq's this radio
can be programmed with, and presumably the CTCSS options would also be
programmable dependent on what the original owner wanted.....

I presume as you want channels 22 & 23 you are using it for telemetry or
telecommand - so why 25 Watts?????

The Kenwood is not a UHF CB radio, since it is a 25 watt unit it cannot
legally be used as one (only 5 watts max allowed on the CB band ) and the OP
is clueless about all aspects of posting.

You can drop the tx power on a TK 805. It has been being used as a UHF CB.

I dont need to abuse Phil, I dont make a habit of abusing people. I find it
pointless and very childish.

btw there is no such thing as common sense.

The 25W isn't an issue - it can be reduced to 5W and then you can legally
operate it on UHF CB.

But it still aint a UHF CB radio as the OP claimed it was.......

There are licensed commercial frequencies in the UHF band. Why does
