Guys,
The other day, Dan asked for key and control descriptions for the
Kenwood TM-D710. So I took some time and created the following text
descriptions for the front and rear panels as well as the microphone
keypad. Descriptions were taken from the owners manual. Hope this helps
someone . Text is below.
