No, I have never tried the software for the 71A. My computer and rig have
never been in the same proximity and the rig is so easy to program that I
just do it manually. Only have a few memories programmed at any given time.

Yes, it did. Menu 999 is the menu for the various kinds of resets. Jim

Ok, seriously people, I kind of figured out the issues with the 71a. I
don't think I ever did a (full) reset. That can be done by going to menu
999, entering that, then selecting the full reset. That works if you have
speech working. When I reset the rig yesterday, I had no speech so was
really not sure if I had done a full reset or not. After I really
got-er-done, I was able to figure out the memory stuff which behaved as
before. Also, one of you guys sent some menu changes I checked out and
tried the menu 111 to change the mic sensitivity. That works very cool.
Thanks, from Jim, a happy camper once again.

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.
