I've got mine powering both kenwood 3201 and 3101 model radios. The stuff replaces the battery pack on the radios, and of course is only on when the bike is on.

Yes. It connects across the grey DIN plugs. For TK3201 use Part 1402, can't recall the Part number for the TK3101, which isn't a dummy battery back, but a little bit of kit that you have to fix to the power terminals inside the radio - easy job, two little screws.

Depending where you have the radio you might need an extension lead. (Part 1512).

Looking at the Autocom brochure, the answer seems to be yes.

But why not phone them 01926 431249 and ask?

Either the Active Plus or 7 or NOT designed to bike power any transceiver. To do this you would need to run a Super Pro AVi, Pro-7 or Pro M1.

If an Active was to be connected to a Kenwood it would over heat the system for it to go pop, not recommended.
