The -K1 type is either a 450 MHz to 512 MHz or a 450 MHz to 520 MHz model depending on if its the lower or higher power model. The difference is the "band split", the frequency range over which the radio is specified to work. You can check the detailed FCC certifications by typing in the above FCC ID's into the following website, then click on search.

What you really want to know is which type is it. As I want to use on repeater frequencies, which if I understand correctly need to be wide band. Hopefully this is not the case or is reprogramable. Since I first posted this question, I read that the "K" suffix models are narrow band only. OK, thanks guys, I will try the KGP-89D software using the TK-8180 (no suffix) dropdown option. I have read the TK-8180s can be programed on Windows 10.

Also do I need to check / update the firmware in the radio before programming? I have Windows 10. Is there a good source / site to be able to download from safely.

Also when I figure out which software I need. Is there a dependable & complete list of which software goes with which Kenwood somewhere? As, I have 3 different Kenwood mobile models (8180,8102,8160)s which I eventually want to program. I saw somewhere that the is a KPG-89DK software, but I could not confirm which models this is used for. Some people have told me to just use the option with 8180 & no letter, but that sounds like a long shot to me. It gives me a drop down (pic attached) with several specific 8180 models, but not for the "K" model. Some sources have said KPG-89D, but when I open the software & go to pick a model at the top tab. Everything seems to list TK-8180 & no "letter" suffix and other variants of the 8180 such as "H".

Including Kenwood field service manuals & other PDFs from Kenwood & info on official dealer sites, & sites selling Kenwood software. I have searched through a lot of threads on this forum, as well as many other resources on the internet. I have previously posted as a guest on this forum, but now have my license, so I joined.
