Programming to match existing radio frequencies:

The Kenwood ProTalk radios can be programmed to match existing radios or to communicate with a repeater. We just need to read an existing radio.


The following radios are capable of being programmed to stock ProTalk and LMR (programmable outside of the stock frequencies), and therefore programming is no charge.


TK-3230 1.5 watt-There is no charge to program new radios to match.

TK-2302V16P 5 watt-There is no charge to program new radios to match.

TK-3302U16P 4 watt- There is no charge to program new radios to match.

For 2 watt radios

1. If the existing radio frequencies are stock frequencies the new radios can be programmed to match for no additional charge.


2. If existing frequencies are not stock frequencies a “tuneable” radio is required. “Tuneable” radios are the same cost as stock ProTalk radios.


TK-2300V4P tuneable add $22.50 upcharge
TK-3300U4P tuneable add $22.50 upcharge
TK-2300V16 tuneable add $0 upcharge
TK-3300V16 tuneable add $0 upcharge


Given this price structure we often recommend switching from a 4 channel to a 16 channel because the cost of the 16 channel radio is usually less than the upcharge.


If tuneable radios, or programming is required please note in comment section.
