Hey not to worry, it's a terrific radio. I've had mine for a
couple of years and this is the first time it decided to not talk
to me. I'm not giving up on it. Jim WA6EKS

Subject: Programming memories on the Kenwood 71a
Hi, this is for any users of the Kenwood TMV-71A. On Monday, I
turned on my
Kenwood 71a and it wouldn't speak to me. Must have been
something I said.
I tried to console it but nothing doing.
So, I got mad and wouldn't talk to it either. Seriously, I did a
full reset
and behold, the voice came back. I programmed in a frequency and
tried to
put it in a memory and that's when I started having issues. I
couldn't save
memories. I even followed some directions I had written
previously. I
finally got one to stick but the voice said something like
channel 1 of 9.
I have never heard it say that before and there are way more than
9 memories
available. I thought I knew how to save memories but I guess
not. My menu
file is somewhat confusing even reading it on the braille display
of the
Apex. I wonder if any of you guys, and girls, has ever sorted
out that
stuff into a more usable file either for speech or braille users,
whatever
more usable might mean to people. Anyway, I am still baffled
about the unit
not talking. Just turned it off a couple of days ago, then on
today and no
speech. Guess I ignored it too long. Thanks for any advice.
