• This equipment should be serviced by only qualified tech-
nicians.
PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERNATIONS
1. UNPACKING
Unpack the radio from its shipping container and check
for accessory items. If any item is missing, please contact
KENWOOD immediately.
2. LICENSING REQUIREMENTS
Federal regulations require a station license for each radio installation (mobile or base) be obtained by the equipment owner. The licensee is responsible for ensuring transmitter power, frequency, and deviation are within the limits
permitted by the station license.
Transmitter adjustments may be performed only by a licensed technician holding an FCC first, second or general
class commercial radiotelephone operator’s license. There
is no license required to install or operate the radio.

TK-7108
3. PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKOUT
3-1. Introduction
Each radio is adjusted and tested before shipment. However, it is recommended that receiver and transmitter operation be checked for proper operation before installation.
3-2. Testing
The radio should be tested complete with all cabling and
accessories as they will be connected in the final installation.
Transmitter frequency, deviation, and power output should
be checked, as should receiver sensitivity, squelch operation, and audio output. Signalling equipment operation
should be verified.
4. PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
4-1. General
Inspect the vehicle and determine how and where the
radio antenna and accessories will be mounted.
Plan cable runs for protection against pinching or crushing
wiring, and radio installation to prevent overheating.
4-2. Antenna
The favored location for an antenna is in the center of a
large, flat conductive area, usually at the roof center. The
trunk lid is preferred, bond the trunk lid and vehicle chassis
using ground straps to ensure the lid is at chassis ground.
5. INSTALLATION PLANNING – CONTROL STATIONS
5-1. Antenna system
Control station. The antenna system selection depends
on many factors and is beyond the scope of this manual.
Your KENWOOD dealer can help you select an antenna system that will best serve your particular needs.
5-2. Radio location
Select a convenient location for your control station radio
which is as close as practical to the antenna cable entry
point. Secondly, use your system’s power supply (which
supplies the voltage and current required for your system).
Make sure sufficient air can flow around the radio and power
supply to allow adequate cooling.
SERVICE
This radio is designed for easy servicing. Refer to the
schematic diagrams, printed circuit board views, and alignment procedures contained in this manual.
NOTE
If you do not intend to use the 3.5-mm jack for the external speaker, fit the supplied speaker-jack cap to stop dust
and sand getting in.
4-3. Radio
The universal mount bracket allows the radio to be
mounted in a variety of ways. Be sure the mounting surface
is adequate to support the radio’s weight. Allow sufficient
space around the radio for air cooling. Position the radio
close enough to the vehicle operator to permit easy access
to the controls when driving.
4-4. DC Power and wiring
1. This radio may be installed in negative ground electrical
systems only. Reverse polarity will cause the cable fuse
to blow. Check the vehicle ground polarity before installa-
tion to prevent wasted time and effort.
2. Connect the positive power lead directly to the vehicle
battery positive terminal. Connecting the Positive lead to
any other positive voltage source in the vehicle is not rec-
ommended.
3. Connect the ground lead directly to the battery negative
terminal.
4. The cable provided with the radio is sufficient to handle
the maximum radio current demand. If the cable must be
extended, be sure the additional wire is sufficient for the
current to be carried and length of the added lead.

4. Scan Operating
■ SCAN start condition
Two or more channels must be added to all channels that
can be scanned. The transceiver must be in normal receive
mode (PTT off).
When you activate the key programmed to the scan ON/
OFF function, the scan starts. The indicator next to the programmed key LED blinks.
■ Scan stop condition
The scan stops temporarily if the following conditions are
satisfied.
1) A carrier is detected, then QT/DQT matches on channels
for which receive the QT/DQT is set by the programming
software.
2) A carrier is detected on the channels for which receiving
QT/DQT is not set by the programming software or when
the monitor (signalling cancel) function is activated.
■ Revert channel
The revert channel is used to transmit during scanning
and set by the programming software (KPG-70D).
1) Selected channel
The transceiver reverts to the channel before scanning or
the channel that you changed during scan.
2) Selected with talkback
The transceiver reverts to the selected channel prior to
scan initiation.
However, if a call is received on a channel other then the
selected channel and PTT is pressed before scanning re-
sume, the transceiver "talks back" on the current receive
channel.
• Scan ON/OFF
Press this key starts scanning. Pressing this key stops
scanning.
■ Scan end
When you press the key programmed to the scan function during scan mode, the scan ends.

OPERATING FEA TURES
■ Temporary delete
It is possible to delete channel temporary during scan.
When scan stops on unnecessary channel for example by
interference of the other party, activate the delete function
(for example press and hold the key for approximately one
second), then that channel is deleted temporarily and scan
re-start immediately.
The temporary deleted channels return to pre-set delete/
add channels, when the transceiver is turned off or the scan
function is switched off.
5. Details of Features
■ Time-out timer
The time-out timer can be programmed in 30 seconds
increments from 30 seconds to five minutes and off. If the
transmitter is transmitted continuously for longer than the
programmed time, the transmitter is disabled and a warning
tone sounds while the PTT button is held down. The warning tone stops when the PTT button is released.
■ PTT ID
PTT ID provides a DTMF ANI to be sent with every time
PTT (beginning of transmission, end of transmission, or
both).
You can program PTT ID "on" or "off" for each channel.
The contents of ID are programmed each Radio.
The timing that the transceiver sends ID is programmable.
BOT : DTMF ID (Beginning of TX) is sent on beginning of
transmission.
EOT : DTMF ID (End of TX) is sent on end of transmis-
sion.
Both : DTMF ID (Beginning of TX) is sent on beginning of
transmission and DTMF ID (End of TX) is sent on end of
transmission.
■ Off hook decode
If the Off hook decode function has been enabled, removing and replacing the microphone on the hook has no
effect for decoding QT/DQT and option signalling.
■ "TOT" pre-alert
The transceiver has "TOT" pre-alert timer. This parameter
selects the time at which the transceiver generates "TOT"
pre-alert tone before "TOT" is expired.
"TOT" will be expired when the selected time passes
from a TOT pre-alert tone.
■ "TOT" re-key time
The transceiver has "TOT" re-key timer. This timer is the
time you can not transmit after "TOT" exceeded. After "TOT"
re-key time expired you can transmit again.
■ "TOT" reset time
The transceiver has "TOT" reset timer. This timer is the
minimum wait time allowed during a transmission that will
reset the "TOT" count.
"TOT" reset time causes the "TOT" to continue even after
PTT is released unless the "TOT" reset timer has expired.
6
■ Clear to transpond
The transceiver waits the transpond of DTMF if channel
is busy until channel open. This feature prevents the interference to other party.
6. Option Signalling (DTMF)
Built-in DTMF decoder is available for option signalling.
It is possible to use individual call, group call, Stun.
If the option signalling matches, a predetermined action
will occur.
If option signalling matches on a channel is set up with
option signalling, the channel LED will flash and option signalling will be released. The transpond or alert tone will
sound.
While option signalling matches (or if option signalling is
deactivated when you are transmitting), you can mute or
unmute QT/DQT/Carrier.
■ SP Unmute
You can select the type of SP Unmute system for each
channel. The selection is as follows.
Carrier, QT/DQT:
Channel with this option will not check ID Code in order
to open its speaker.
Carrier+DTMF, QT/DQT+DTMF:
Channel that is set with this option will have to check for
ID Code in order to open its speaker.

■ Stun
If the stun code matches, a predetermined action will occur. Whether option signalling is activated or not, when
stun matches on any channel, the transceiver will become
TX inhibited or TX/RX inhibited. While stun is active, if the
stun code + "#" code is received, stun will deactivate.
When stun matches, transpond will function. Alert will
not be output.
7. Audible User Feedback Tones
The transceiver outputs various combinations of tones to
notify the user of the transceiver operating state.
Refer to the help file on the KPG-70D, regarding the functions that are not listed below.
■ Stun on tone

tone will sound, not the transpond tone.
■ Pre alert tone
Sounds prior to the TOT TX inhibit activation. If TOT pre
alert is set, the tone sounds at the amount of time programmed, before the TOT expires (TOT time – TOT pre alert
time = Pre alert tone sounding time). You can select yes or
no for the optional feature's warning tone.
■ Transmit protection
The power module is protected against heat while transmitting by making the radio cuts down TX power when the
temperature of the power module becomes higher than reference. After that, if the temperature continue to rise, transmission is stopped. The power module is also protected
against over voltage by having the radio to check that the
voltage of power supply connected to the radio is not higher
than about 17V when the radio is turned on, otherwise it can
not transmit. In both cases when transmission is stopped, a
beep will continue to sound until the PTT key is released.

Receiver System
The receiver is double conversion superheterodyne. The
frequency configuration is shown in Figure 1.
■ Front-end RF Amplifier
An incoming signal from the antenna is applied to an RF
amplifier (Q26) after passing through a transmit/receive
switch circuit (D31 is off) and a band pass filter (L36, L38
and varactor diodes: D25, D26). After the signal is amplified
(Q26), the signal is filtered through a band pass filter (L30,
L32 and varactor diodes: D21, D22) to eliminate unwanted
signals before it is passed to the first mixer.
The voltage of these diodes are controlled by tracking the
CPU (IC6) center frequency of the band pass filter. (See Fig. 2)
■ First Mixer
The signal from the RF amplifier is heterodyned with the
first local oscillator signal from the PLL frequency synthesizer circuit at the first mixer (Q21) to create a 49.95MHz
first intermediate frequency (1st IF) signal. The first IF signal
is then fed through two monolithic crystal filters (MCFs :
XF1) to further remove spurious signals.
■ IF Amplifier
The first IF signal is amplified by Q19, and the enters IC5
(FM processing IC). The signal is heterodyned again with a
second local oscillator signal within IC5 to create a 450kHz
second IF signal. The second IF signal is then fed through a
450kHz ceramic filter (Wide : CF1, Narrow : CF2) to further
eliminate unwanted signals before it is amplified and FM detected in IC5.

■ Wide/Narrow Changeover Circuit
The Wide port (pin 92) and Narrow port (pin 91) of the
CPU is used to switch between ceramic filters. When the
Wide port is high, the ceramic filter SW diodes (D13, D15)
cause CF1 to turn on to receive a Wide signal.
When the Narrow port is high, the ceramic filter SW diodes
(D13, D15) cause CF2 to turn on to receive a Narrow signal.

■ AF Signal System
The detection signal from IF IC (IC5) goes to D/A converter (IC3) to adjust the gain and is output to AF filter (IC10)
for characterizing the signal. The AF signal output from IC10
and the DTMF signal, BEEP signal are summed and the resulting signal goes to the D/A converter (IC3). The AFO output level is adjusted by the D/A converter. The signal output
from the D/A converter is input to the audio power amplifier
(IC102). The AF signal from IC102 switches between the
internal speaker and speaker jack (J1) output.

■ Squelch Circuit
The detection output from the FM IF IC (IC5) passes
through a noise amplifier (Q18) to detect noise. A voltage is
applied to the CPU (IC6). The CPU controls squelch according to the voltage (SQIN) level. The signal from the RSSI pin
of IC5 is monitored. The electric field strength of the receive signal can be known before the SQIN voltage is input
to the CPU, and the scan stop speed is improved.
Fig. 5Squelch circuit
PLL Frequency Synthesizer
The PLL circuit generates the first local oscillator signal
for reception and the RF signal for transmission.
■ PLL
The frequency step of the PLL circuit is 5 or 6.25kHz. A
16.8MHz reference oscillator signal is divided at IC1 by a
fixed counter to produce the 5 or 6.25kHz reference frequency. The voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) output signal is buffer amplified by Q15, then divided in IC1 by a dualmodule programmable counter. The divided signal is compared in phase with the 5 or 6.25kHz reference signal in the
phase comparator in IC1. The output signal from the phase
comparator is filtered through a low-pass filter and passed
to the VCO to control the oscillator frequency. (See Fig. 6)
■ VCO
The operating frequency is generated by Q11 in transmit
mode and Q10 in receive mode. The oscillator frequency is
controlled by applying the VCO control voltage, obtained
from the phase comparator, to the varactor diodes (D10 and
D12 in transmit mode and D9 and D11 in receive mode).
The TX/RX pin is set low in receive mode causing Q12 and
Q7 to turn Q11 off, and turn Q10 on. The TX/RX pin is set
high in transmit mode. The outputs from Q10 and Q11 are
amplified by Q15 and sent to the RF amplifiers.

■ Unlock Circuit
During reception, the 8RC signal goes high, the 8TC signal goes low, and Q29 turns on. Q31 turns on and a voltage
is applied to the collector (8R). During transmission, the
8RC signal goes low, the 8TC signal goes high and Q30
turns on. Q33 turns on and a voltage is applied to 8T.
The CPU in the control unit monitors the PLL (IC1) LD
signal directly. When the PLL is unlocked during transmission, the PLL LD signal goes low. The CPU detects this
signal and makes the 8TC signal low. When the 8TC signal
goes low, no voltage is applied to 8T, and no signal is transmitted.

Transmitter System
■ Outline
The transmitter circuit produces and amplifies the desired frequency directly. It FM-modulates the carrier signal
by means of a varicap diode.
■ Power Amplifier Circuit
The transmit output signal from the VCO passes through
the transmission/reception selection diode (D19) and amplified to a specified level of the power module (IC101) by the
drive block (Q23 and Q25). The amplified signal goes to a
low-pass filter. The low-pass filter removes unwanted highfrequency harmonic components, and the resulting signal is
goes the antenna terminal.
