Hi Edward, well, I installed the chip in the TMV-71A as well as
the TS-480. The install was much easier on the 71A because you
only have to remove the top cover and keep track of 8 small
screws. With the 480 you have to remove both the top cover then
a small cover inside the rig plus be very careful with a bundle
of very small wires running between the inner cover and the front
panel of the rig. Anyway, the 71A is a piece of cake if you
aren't worried about taking things apart and getting them back
together again. Jim WA6EKS

Congratulations on the TMV71A, and welcome to the list!!
You will find many very helpful and supportive people here.
In my opinion, the TMV71A is the most blind-friendly accessible
VHF/UHF =

out there, and I am sure you will absolutely love it! Virtually

functions and menu settings are accessible via the VGS1 voice

I don't know what would work best for you, but I have quite a few

files on the radio, including a great audio tutorial that was

I can send you the files if you would like them.

Hello:
My name is Edward Alonzo (KE5KRI)
I have been a ham sense 2006.

At the suggestion of another ham friend, I just got myself a
KINWOOD =3D=
TMV-71 a with the VGS-1 storage.
I got it from ham radio outlet, and I asked them if they would
install =

the board for me and they said they would. its on its way now

If any of you have used this particular radio, I'd like to know

Thanks for any help and great to be on this list.
