Wow, I never knew about pushing the PM button then one of the
buttons on the bottom row. That's amazing. It always amazes me
when I find out new stuff about a radio I have owned for five
years. Jim WA6EKS

Subject: Re: TMV 71A PM question.
I don't know what it stands for, program something.
What it does is let you save radio configurations. If you push
the pm
button and then buttons on the bottom row, it goes to that
configuration. Far left will say pm off and next pm one and so
forth.
Once you have a configuration you want to save, you press
function, pm
key, and then the key you want to assign to that, 1 through 5.
Bottom
goes off, one, two, and so forth.
I think the default is changes you make are held. There is a
menu
choice, I forget where without looking, that turns this off.
I've done
this so if I mess something up, all I have to do is turn radio
off and
then back on, it goes to last program configuration I was on. If
you
make changes you want to be permanent, just do function, pm key,
and
number 1 or whatever. It is a great feataure of this radio, you
can set
voice volume, bands, power off and so forth. All of these are
saveable
under each configuration. I have one of mine set, for example,
to
monitor two uhf repeaters on band a and b. I have another as
default
which is 2 meters on a and 440 on b. It is as simple as hitting
pm key
and number 2. Radio reboots and there you are.
Hope this makes sense.

Yes, I know PM means Program Memory or maybe partial memory, but
I am always hitting the button just below the power button so
the
rig won't say PM or PM 1 or whatever. I once heard it say PM 5,
never figured out how it got to PM 5, or how I got it turned
off,
Guess I'll have to read the manual, Jim WA6EKS

Hi Matt, sorry disregard my previous response. After I sent the
email I rea=
lized that you meant the reverse button next to the TX Power
button.
However, I have another question for anyone. On the TMV71a
when
I power up=

"PM Off" w=
hat does that mean?
Thanks

No, need to find a different offset. You need to hit function
key,=20
followed by the plus/minus key. Each time you do this, you
toggle=20
between modes: plus, minus, and simplex. You'll know where you
are=20
because if you hit the offset key by itself, hit the A button
(for=20
example), and then repeat the process, you'll either hear a
frequency=20
change or not. In automatic, any repeater on 2 meters above 147
has=20
a plus offset; any repeater below 147 has a minus offset. Hope
this=20
helps.--Matt.
P.S. Get up on the HandiHam Web site. There's an audio demo of
this=20
by Steve Dresser.

Jim, sorry I missed you yesterday on 147.195. I just checked
out
my t =

m v
71 A. Menu 100 allows you to set low and high scanning
peramaters. =3D2=
0
Menu 101 allows you to set frequency steps for your v f o.
With=3D20
reguard to Matt's question, I don't know how to set an odd

offset.
However, a few
weeks back, someone on the list posted that information.
Perhaps
that=

someone will do it again. hth. 73. Doug, N6NFF

Curtis, in order for your t m v 71 A to see menus 100 and 101,
your=3D20
radio must be in the v f o mode, not the m r memory recall mode.
Push=
=3D20
the button in the uupper left hand corner of the radio. If you
hear=3D2=
0
the voice say v f o, you're good to go. You will then see menus
100=3D2=
0
and 101. h t h. Doug, N6NFF

Hi all! I have the radio, but seems there is no menu 100 or 101.
One of
them is "programmable vfo" and the other is "step size."
Why are my two menus missing?
THANKS! I am creating a braille copy of the menu system with
comments=3D=

as to how to program memory channel names using the microphone,
all put=
=3D20
together in one place and it should be available soon!
