#KENWOOD TK 880 REPETER HOW TO#

Okay, cables and other misc parts still on their way, getting ready to make the inner connectors but still need to decide on a controller.

the 880 is hard to find details on, but i'll keep looking! but i'm not sure i need all that power, so i hope there is a lower 10 watt option for normal use. plus, its a bit higher powered, not that i need that high of power anytime soon.Īny experience connecting the 880's or 840s to a controller? I'm leaning more towards the 880s, for a few $ more, the version 2 gives me 40 watts. The 880 has a digital volume control and more features, so i think it would last longer, and i'd get more life out of it. I was looking to stay away from the 805 and 840 because the volume and ch knobs wear out, and become noisy.

Or maybe an older TK-805D because i found detailed plans on how to build the interface cable here: I could also go with TK-840 - because i can also get a good deal on a pair of those. Kenwood TK-880-1 ver2 40 watt (or Kenwood TK-840-1 25watt) - both inside the GMRS band. wondering if the front RJ-11 would allow a custom cable? I'm going to most likely order a NHRC-3.1 controller so I'll have to make a custom cable anyway. (see link below) I can't seem to find anything on interfacing those. On some other models like TK-805D, there is a way to open it up and solder some connections for the rx tx, ptt, tone, gnd, etc. I'm about to pull the trigger on a pair or 880s and just wanted to do a bit more research before i do.

I'm looking to integrate a Kenwood TK-880-1 ver2 with a repeater controller.
