Kenwood Tk-706D is a two channel VHF Radio with 25 watts power output.
Programming cable required – KPG-4 (Read my other post about homebrew KPG-4)
Software required for programming – KPG-6D Radio Programming Software Version 1.330 Release 10/1/1993
Operating system required – DOS – Running on Windows 98 or FreeDOS with USB bootload
I tried using Dosbox, but it did not work for me. I had to find an old computer with Windows 98. If you are unable to find an old computer, please use FreeDOS with a USB bootload. FreeDOS will work as I had success with it as well.
In order to program the radio, follow the Kenwood Tk-706D Programming instructions below:
F2: Model type select – Full (16 CH) or Basic (2 CH)
F4 : Input the frequencies to be programmed.
If Programming Kenwood Tk-706D (2 Channel) make sure to change Model Type from FULL featured 16 CH to BASIC featured 2 CH.
F2: To read the radio data. To access already programmed frequencies
F3: To Write new frequencies into radio. (Saved information during F4: CHANNEL INFORMATION)
F4: To load data from previously saved data file in disk.
F5: To save a new data file to disk.

Hi, I have recently successfully programmed a TK-806D which is the UHF version of the same rig.
A member of our club has been given 4 radios, so I have set them to 432.5MHz. However the radio lacks sensitivity on the receive. Have you ever seen a manual for the UHF TX-806D. I cant find anything on the web. I’m thinking the tuning may be out of band, but have no idea what range the radio is designed to span?
Any ideas?
