Edward, If I may be so bold as to ask, where did you purchase your new TM
V71A and VGS1? I am thinking about purchasing one too, and am currently
looking at all of my options.

Well Lets just hope they installed it for me.
I hope my power supply I already own will work for this radio.

Hi Edward, well, I installed the chip in the TMV-71A as well as=20 the
TS-480. The install was much easier on the 71A because you=20 only have to
remove the top cover and keep track of 8 small=20 screws. With the 480 you
have to remove both the top cover then=20 a small cover inside the rig plus
be very careful with a bundle=20 of very small wires running between the
inner cover and the front=20 panel of the rig. Anyway, the 71A is a piece
of cake if you=20 aren't worried about taking things apart and getting them
back=20 together again. Jim WA6EKS
