Everything You Need to Program your Kenwood TM-D700 Radio With MCP-D700 Software

Hey folks! You’re here because you have a D700 radio and you want help programming it with the dusty old Kenwood software. Well, you may have found out the help file for the MCP-D700 software is bricked by Windows 10 end of life, and when you try to open it, it doesn’t render well. I found this out just today myself and thought, “This is great, thanks Kenwood.” And then gave Claude the file to make into a PDF for me. Then I thought, “Why stop there? I’ll have Claude scrub the internet for extra tips and tricks for programming the radio, and I’ll also ask for it to be written so even a smooth brained ham like myself can read through it and understand it. So then I did that. Why? You might ask, and I say, because CHIRP doesn’t have all the options, and I don’t want to try to find the RT Systems disc which I installed on an old laptop which has since gone to laptop heaven (and by laptop heaven I mean it went belly up and I shoved it into a drawer of my desk, never to be seen again). So see below for the PDF on everything you need to know about the Kenwood MCP-D700 programming software and how to use it. Feel free to share it. All sources are cited. The work is mine (and Claude’s) and it can be freely redistributed but never sold and all that. I don’t want to find it on those scammy eBay “PDF Manual” for your radio auctions or those “Instant download” owner manual sites, ok? Let me know if you find it there. I know a ham up the street who is a lawyer and loves easy money.
