Hi John,
What is the output power? I did some reading about it, but all they said
was that it had hi, med, and lo power output.
Also is it necessary to buy the matching speaker or does it have a suitable
built-in speaker?
Thanks.
Kris

I use the TM-G707A every day on 2 and 440 and have no complaints at all.
I've had it for 2 or 3 years now and it's served me well with the VS-3 board
in it it speaks everything I need. Menus would be nice but that's easy
enough to figure out with out speech and I never use them anyway, that's a
set once and forget it thing.
