There's really no way to configure the V7 this way.  If the other station
you listen to could pass through a PL to the uhf (as Ray suggested) then you
could use the tone squelch on uhf.  Or if the other station could pass the
dtmf tones you could use dtmf tone squelch to open the uhf squelch.  Not
really what you want, but the only thing I can think of except to use
headphones on the uhf side.  Hmmm, someone should make an external speaker
that mutes when it detects RF, that shouldn't be hard to design.

Subject: TMV7A question


Hi, all.

I may have asked this question before, but seem unable to find any notes
from the list, so please forgive if I ask this again.

Does anyone know how to get the TMV7A to transmit on 2 meters, and
simultaneously mute the 440 side of the rig?  My son, who is also a ham,
lives in Kalamazoo, Mi, where the best way to get into a wide-coverage link
system is to transmit on 2 meters, and listen to the output on 440.  When I
try doing this with the TMV7A when in Kalamazoo, I get feedback through the
440 side, and the only way I can correct the problem is to turn down the
volume on the 440 side whenever I transmit.  That, of course, is somewhat of
a pain.

Any help with this would be appreciated.  I just have to believe that it's
possible to configure the radio to mute the 440 side when transmitting on
2-meters.

I know this is automatically done with the THF6A, but then again, the THF6A
only has one volume control.
