I had heard that some of the runs of the TM V7a did have decent stock tx
audio...but most of them are pretty wimpy.
that goes for pretty much all the kenwood dual band mobiles with the
acception of a very very few that seem to have been altered at the factory.
close talk and strong voice modulation usually fixes them...but if most of
you are anything like me, you tend to speak more quietly with a mike in your
paw.
probably comes from all those nights as a kid when I had to talk really
quiet so I wouldn't wake up my parents and bring down my mothers rath upon
me for being up late talking on the radio hi hi.
Getting into the service menu is easy enough on the TM V7A...I can only
assume it is the same procedure to get into the service menu on the 707.
something about using a PS2 plug into the programming port and shorting some
of the pins together. Then powering up the radio with specific buttons held
down...all the info is easily availible on the internet with any sort of
google search.
You can even find articles on which menu to change and so on once your in
the service menu.
The cable is easy enough to make...just a cable that has a ps2 plug on the
end, such as an old keyboard or mouse from before they switched those to USB
connecters.
You just have to know the pin out and which wires to short together.
