General
RF Call Box Models with a -xx3 suffix are intended for use with Kenwood’s TK-3170 Series Portable
Radios. The use of the TK-3170 Series Radio is currently limited to conventional operation. Kenwood
Models TK-2170 (VHF), TK-3170 (UHF), and TK-3173 (UHF Conv./Trunking used in conventional
mode) are capable of being programmed for interfacing to GAI-Tronics’ RF Call Boxes.
Kenwood provides an FPU (Field Programming Unit) designed for the TK-3170 Series transceivers.
Using this software allows creation the transceiver’s configuration data file, writing the data to the
transceiver, printing out the data, reading the data from the transceiver, and editing the file.
The TK-3170 Series radios have the ability to provide a COR/TOR output via the accessories connector,
required for proper RF Call Box operation. The ability to activate this output on the TK-3170 Series
radio requires activation of a special Kenwood DAT File. A copy of the Kenwood DAT file CD is
included with the Model 190-3170K Adapter Kit. The DAT file CD will not automatically download to
the programming PC’s hard drive but it can be copied and saved to the hard drive if desired. A file folder
must be created within the KPG-101D folder.
