Generally speaking good copy; a few pages too hard contrast...
Good service and communication.

I purchased the unit from a private party and the original owners manual was not available. Having the ability to download it was extremely helpful and clarified operating the equipment immensely. This is a complicated unit and without the manual I would not have been able to maximize it's potential. Thank you.

Being a user of older radios of many kinds, preferring them over more modern rigs, this manual was invaluable in the programming of my two. I now know for certain what the assorted buttons functions are, and am very grateful to have found this excellent site. Many thanks for your assistance, Tony.

About the Mesh Head
Replacing the Head
When the Head Should Be Replaced
The head is an expendable item that eventually will wear out and need to be replaced. Replace the head when the following occurs: � The head surface is torn � Striking points are no longer detected correctly, even when the head tension is properly adjusted. � Slack portions remain in the head even after the head tension is properly adjusted.
6. Pass the tuning bolts through the washers, then attach them to the hoop and frame. 7. Next, adjust the tension of the head. Refer to �Adjusting the Head Tension� (p. 6).
Do not firmly tighten a single tuning bolt by itself. Doing so will make it impossible to tension the head evenly, and will cause malfunctions such as failure to accurately detect the striking location.
About the Lock Bushings
The KD-80 and the PD-80R are provided with lock bushings to prevent rotation and loosening of the tuning bolts caused by vibration transmitted from the hoop. If a lock bushing happens to become separated from the frame while the head is being replaced, position the bushing so its four slots are aligned with the corresponding ridges in the frame, then press down firmly on the bushing.

Replacing the Head
1. Remove all tuning bolts and washers.
When replacing the head of the KD-80 or the PD-80R, press the lock bushing (in figure below) in place with your finger as you remove each tuning bolt, to prevent the bushings from being pulled off the frame. Only the KD-80 and the PD-80R are provided with lock bushings.
