Jim:
I just tried my suggestion again for muting and un-muting the second VFO on
the TMV71A, and the button combination I mentioned operates as I described
previously.
I have another TMV71A out in the car, but I won't be able to try that
probably until Sunday, when the XYL and I go on a short road trip to visit
our son and his family about an hour away.
If I think of it, I'll give things a try on that radio, and let you know if
I get the same results.

Subject: Your recommendation locks and unlocks the 71a
Tom, pressing the function button and transmit power button locks and
fortunately unlocks the radio. Oh, it even keeps it from transmitting.
Never knew about that function, but it doesn't unmute or mute either of the
VFO's. Wow, you learn something new everyday. I have been reading the 590
manual again. Guess I need to read the 71a manual as well. 73, Jim

Jim:
If you don't want the receive on the second VFO to be muted while using the
dominant VFO, press the function key, plus the TX power button till you hear
the low beep. The TX power button is the third one in from the two VFO and
squelch controls.
Does this help?

Subject: Issue with muting or listening to both VFO's on the TMV71A
Hello list, I am having a strange thing happen on my 71a which I must have
caused but can't figure out how to undo. When I am listening on my 71a, and
have the right VFO on a memory either VHF or UHF and the left VFO on a
different memory, and have both squelch knobs turned off, the memory that is
selected will dominate, meaning that if I turn the volume of the dominant
VFO up it will mute the squelch sound of VFO b. The opposite also hapmens.
I know that it is possible to have both VFO's work at the same time without
either one being muted unless you transmit on one and the other is listening
on the same band. Does that make any sense? The mute button, righthand most
button on the bottum row, will select between a and b VFO but when both are
supposed to be active, they are not. I don't know how to explain this any
better, but maybe one of you TMV71A owners will know what I'm talking about.
