Hi, all.
Well, it looks like it may be time for me to get into another as yet
un-explored dimension of the TMV71A. The dimension involves the
programmable memory channels.
I don't think the manual is very clear on this aspect of the rig's
functioning, and I'm not quite sure I get the concept.
I'll ask a few questions here, and would appreciate it if you guys could
teach me what I need to know. ... I just don't want to mess things up the
way I have them as I explore this new arena.
Here are my questions:
1. How many frequencies can you store in each PM channel? Can you only
store one in each VFO, or can you store multiple repeaters and frequencies?
I was hoping to set up a programmable memory channel for the various skywarn
frequencies that are used in the Greater Denver area and surrounding
counties. Right now, there are nine such frequencies, consisting of both
primary and secondary VHF and UHF repeaters, as well as a 440 simplex
frequency for "car to car" communication. Perhaps the programmable memory
channel function won't be useful for this, and maybe I'd be better off just
creating a skywarn memory group.
2. In the manual, it says that, before you start setting up the
programmable memory channels, you have to be sure the microphone control is
off. I can't find a way to turn the mic control off in any of the menus.
3. What have you guys found the programmable memory channels to be most
useful for?
Thanks, and 73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ
