JVC Kenwood TK-3701D Digital Analog Licence-Exempt Two Way Radio

Having purchased two of these radios which are not cheap at around £170 each I can't say I am impressed with them or the support received. Starting with the good the radios seem durable which I am not willing to test but I play airsoft so no doubt they have been hit from time to time and haven't got any marks on them and also the battery seems to last a decent amount of time. The bad part is with the actual usage. So having spent time reading the manual and watching a number of videos online on how the radios functioned I was fairly confident that when I powered on the radio I would be able set it up to what I wanted which was simply to use digital. All I needed to do was to turn the radio on and then switch to zone 3 which is the one and only zone by default which was configured for digital. At first it was all great and I thought it was working but testing the radios I noticed based on how the signal would break up that it was actually using analogue rather than digital. I also noticed that no matter what zone I changed to I could always communicate with the second radio which I hadn't made any changes to. Having spent a number of hours trying to solve this I decided to reset the radios and contact the support team to see if there was something they could help with. The response I got was basically "The equipment is pretty complex and I needed the software to configure the radio". Looked up what software was needed "KPG-202" and it costs £80. I reluctantly purchased the software and basically because the radio always defaults to zone 1 even after it says zone 2 or 3 I have simply configured zone 1 to be the digital one instead. I believe this is poor business practise from kenwood and I would not recommend their radios to anyone unless the software which is required to actually set the radios up comes with the radios you purchase. I feel like I have been scammed with extra hidden costs to what is already an expensive radio. When it comes to getting new radios I think I will be avoiding kenwood in the future.

Ease of use .easy to programme with the software which I purchased separately.
