I recently received a Kenwood transceiver in the mail - no shipping information - other than the box. There was not power supply, microphone or manual of any kind. I'd love to get it working (if the cost is minimal).. It appears to be a service business radio of some type. If you have any ideas let me know.

  Bryce, the TK-3360 is not included on our list of Kenwood models intended for using this reset method.

I have two TK-3400U16P radios, both charge up and turn on. But they do not talk to each other. I tried resetting both and found the procedures to do so, by turning on the unit while holding down the two side buttons and talk button. When I do this the units LED turns blue and beeps then both turn off. The unit doesn't speak or the LED doesn't turn orange. I've tried letting go of the buttons at 1 sec, 2 sec and longer after it beeps and no difference other than it beeps with a different tone if I hold then release after 2 seconds.

Any Ideas ?

Hi, what is the meaning of the following message on Protalk XLS display?
Un PG - doesn't go away without factory reset.

If the procedure is not listed in the manual, it may not have a user accessible reset option.

20 Kenwood TK3160M where given me by my local recycling company
The radios were locked, is there a master reset for the TK-3160M
We are going to reprogram the radio to ham band if pass FCC after reprogramming

I have 4 tk-3400u4p radios. Three work fine. The fourth we can listen but when the Ptt button is depressed the led turns red. Kenwood told me that someone needs to hook it up to a computer and make it back into a pro talk radio. Is this true
