Ahhhhhh...so they're compatible as long as everything else is configured to work with the Kenwoods eh? 
i've got a list of channel centre frequencies somewhere but it's not immediately obvious which sub - channel is which frequency

Table fixed.
Sounds like it'd just be a lot easier to get a set of 'normal' PMRs to me  The End

If anybody wants two-way radios of any kind, feel free to give me a shout. I even have sets which can be dropped in the mud and washed afterwards whilst they are still switched on 
I will certainly look after you, but if you come looking for 50% discount for a group-buy, I won`t be so polite

But the Kenwoods are so much clearer. In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Have I been led up the garden path with reference to buying the Kenwoods.
How easy is is to alter the kenwoods to suit everyone else. In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

The way I see it the Kenwoods are a better and more expensive radio but as everyone else has normal PMRs (mainly the Motorola ones) we could have issues in the future. We may find a common channel but if we have to move to a different one in the future we could have problems again.
Unless of course we can get a bunch of the Kenwoods at a good price The End

No 
I will alter my far superior expensive radios to suit your toy ones, or take them back and swap them for the Moto’s to save the hassle.

I've said it before but I think the Motorola XTN446's are better quality than the standard consumer models and have the benefit that they are directly compatible with all fully PMR446 radio's
The problem is that as we are not a club, there is no central resources available. Several people bought radios for the Salisbury weekend which are PMR446 compliant, they can use these outside of Disco3 events without any problems
