The legacy and surplus Kenwood TKR-820 Repeater requires the KPT-20 or KPT-50 for
frequency programming and setup.

IF you are using an external duplxer OR a duplexer inside this repeater --
it MUST be properly tuned to your Repeater Frequency.

DO you have coordinated UHF repeater pair?? SERA is your regional group.
