Thames Valley Repeater Group

For the last two and a half years we have been selling Key Radio KM3000 and KM4000 VHF mobile radios. We have sold a large number and they appear to have been very well received. Last weekend (14th July 2024) we had a stand at the local McMichael Rally. This was very successful and we sold a large number of radios. So many that we have now sold all the radios that we have updated, tested and programmed.

At the moment we do not have any more radios available but anticipate that we will be able to resume sales towards the end of this year or early next year. Please keep checking this website for updated information.

If you have bought one, thanks for buying. If you need any further information, this is available on this website under the “Downloads” section.

All KM4000 (and KM3000) radios bought from the TVRG after May 1st 2024 will have updated frequencies. These are taken from the ETCC website as of May 2024. Details can be found here.

TVRG have been selling Key Radio KM3000 radios since July 2022. We have now sold all we have of the current stock of KM3000s and future orders will be fulfilled by the KM4000 radios. The KM4000 is a later version of the KM3000. It is identical and operates in the same way with a couple of differences. See the For Sale section for details.

The Thames Valley Repeater Group is pleased to announce that it will be attending both the Newbury Radio Rally on the 23rd June and the McMichael Radio Rally (Reading) on Sunday July 14th 2024.

Please come along to our table (Newbury) and our Stand (McMichael) and see what we have to offer.

For more details see Newbury Radio Rally and McMichael Rally websites.

One of our members, Chris, G0JTN, has been selling replacement microphones for the Ascom SE550 transceivers. There are a number of them in use, mainly on the 70MHz band, and given their age of about 35 years, the microphones and microphone leads are now showing signs of age and deterioration. Chris has been providing refurbished/new microphones fitted with new leads and also has arranged for the unique Ascom plug to be 3D printed. Chris has kindly offered these products to be sold under the TVRG umbrella, with proceeds going to TVRG funds. See under the “For Sale” section.

Where else can you buy a professional class transceiver (this is no cheap Chinese radio) for this price. It has 15W output power and is ready programmed with all the U.K. analogue VHF FM repeaters on the 2m band. Complete with microphone and mounting bracket. Amazing value for only £20 plus postage and packing. More details under the For Sale section of this website or contact sales@tvrg.org.uk
