Subject: Programming memories on the Kenwood 71a
Hi, this is for any users of the Kenwood TMV-71A. On Monday, I turned on my
Kenwood 71a and it wouldn't speak to me. Must have been something I said.
I tried to console it but nothing doing.
So, I got mad and wouldn't talk to it either. Seriously, I did a full reset
and behold, the voice came back. I programmed in a frequency and tried to
put it in a memory and that's when I started having issues. I couldn't save
memories. I even followed some directions I had written previously. I
finally got one to stick but the voice said something like channel 1 of 9.
I have never heard it say that before and there are way more than 9 memories
available. I thought I knew how to save memories but I guess not. My menu
file is somewhat confusing even reading it on the braille display of the
Apex. I wonder if any of you guys, and girls, has ever sorted out that
stuff into a more usable file either for speech or braille users, whatever
more usable might mean to people. Anyway, I am still baffled about the unit
not talking. Just turned it off a couple of days ago, then on today and no
speech. Guess I ignored it too long. Thanks for any advice. Jim WA6EKS
