Hi Lowell;

If you can use a TM-V7A you can use the 700.

It's a great radio.

I owned one however, it does get a little intermod on 2 meters.

But, you can program it with no problem from a computer or from the face plate on the front of the radio.

Have fun.

  Thanks for reading the following question!
  I am blind and am going to Dayton Ham Vention Saturday to buy a new dual 
  band radio for the auto.
  If you have used or own the TMD700A, please tell me how you like it and 
  perhaps any of its faults.
  I will buy the synthesiser for it, of course.
  Can it be programed from a computer easily?
  I have also been reading about the new TMV71, but it does not have sky 
  command II which I want for the TS-2000.
  Any thoughts would be appreciated!
  73 and thank you.
