Man, the below is an old post... anyway the used kpt-50 programmer
is long gone/sold. I bought up a number of the last units Kenwood
had at the time and have been slowly selling them off. The Epcom
price for the kpt-50 is about $330 at last glance, I was selling
them for about $245 list and applying various discounts to get the
end price just about or just under $200... say about $195 per
unit. The mentioned price is for a new (not used) programmer with
the matching (and really handy) kpg software for use with a PC. Using
the matching software with a pc is really the only way to go. You
can save and retrive both base station and repeater station files,
which include the frequencies and ctcss (PL) - dcs (DPL) codes to
your computer hard drive (archived).

Anyway, I'm still around and still a full line Kenwood Dealer. Please
feel free to email me if you have any questions. Find me using the web
page url just below.

cheers,
