Hi, all.
I have developed a somewhat interesting problem with my Kenwood TMV7
A mobile rig. I actually have had the problem before, but it does seem to
get worse in the colder weather.
I have the rig mounted in our vehicle, and just use the control head on the
front of the radio as is.
The problem is that when we go over a semi-bumpy road, the rig automatically
shifts modes--i.e. it will switch from memory mode to VFO mode, etc. This
gets real anoying if I'm in the middle of a qso.
Now, the roads I am on aren't really dirt roads out in the middle of
nowhere--just paved roads that are beginning to suffer from lots of use and
probably insufficient maintenance.
I think the control head is just somewhat loose, and needs to be secured
better. I have taken it off, and tried re-attaching it several times, but
it doesn't really seem to help.
Any suggestions?
