Eric:
The cable you need is the PG5G, and it cost $32 when I bought mine.
One end is for a serial computer port, and the other end plugs into the
TMV71A.
As for the programming software, I don't recall the specific name of it, but
I got it from the Kenwood web site under the TMV71A listings.
As for HF propagation woes, I know what you mean.
I really got spoiled out in Colorado, since I was 5 thousand feet up, and
since I also was in a good part of the country to receive signals from just
about anywhere.
Now that I'm back in Michigan, I remember the limitations I had here
earlier, but guess that's the way things go.
Anyway, once I get things tested more thoroughly here, I'd love to set up a
sked and see if we could work each other.

HI Tom,
I too am finally getting reaedy to purchase a Kenwood TMV-71A.
Which computer cable must you get for it?
I will be using an old Dell that only has serial ports for my computer
programs for ham radio.
Also what is the name of this program for this particular rig.
I think I already have a program for the TS480SAT in one of my directories
but not for the Kenwood vhf/uhf rig.
Thanks for the help.
73,

PS I'm using one of the Hy Power very shortened dipole antennas for 20
meters on my balcony for the 480.
Too bad signals are so bad in California.
I mis the east coast for that reason.
In the 20 years I've been out here I've never heard a good signal on HF in
California.
