An old torn book came with it with all kinds of wiring pictures. There were
a 110 pages in the book on how to fix it but somebody torn some of them out.
One guy I asked with wires hanging all over his yard said he was a ham but
told me he just put them there to impress people. I told him I got the book
on how to fix it. He told me to maybe get one of the local cb radio guys
to have a look at it. He said that they have tinkerd with more radios than
he did. He told me some of them help keep the companys in business
becauase of thier work on radios.
I think I'll try and find one of these guys to have a look at it. Better to
have someone used to fixing radios look at it. Hope it gets fixed soon so
that I can listen to all those other countrys. I t has fm on it too.

One thing that maybe the trouble is the battery for the memory could be
gone. Just replace the battery and try resetting the memory. It should

only
cost you about $10.00 for the battery or less and some elbow grease. You

can
get the manuals at
http://www.mods.dk/view.php?ListManuals=kenwood . I do
know other people who have had the radio and in working order it is a damn
good radio. New it sold for between $500.00 and $1000.00 depending on
country. Find a local Ham and see if they want to try to get it working

for
the price of parts.
