Radio doesn't transmit on 70 cm above 444.995

[Turbo T]

I have a Kenwood TS-2000 that I found does not transmit above 444.995. It's as if the manufacturer put a "lock" on that channel.

My Yaesu FT-7900 does transmit above 444.995....in fact our local ham club has a simplex net at 446.000.

To join the net I have to get in my personal vehicle, instead of just using the home base.

How can I set my TS-2000 so i can sit in my house and join the 446 mHz net?

Thanks

Have you tried a CPU reset?

Okay apparently your radio has the MARS mod which means.you cannot transmit there.

Turn off the repeater offset. With the offset enabled you are trying to tx 5 MHz higher which would put you out of band.

That's the other option lol.
I was told that the Mars mod will disable transmit above 444mhz

Actually I called a friend on the phone to ask. That's what he said. He's our elder..extra class Ham. If he's wrong, I will let him know.

Better call him back. It would be ridiculous to loose 445-450 MHz. MARS mods ADD freq range not remove it.

After the modification, it transmits:
1.705 - 30MHz, 49-54MHz, 142-152MHz, 420-450MHz.
