please do NOT answer a question if you have no clue. the tmv71a
is 2 =
meter 440 only, but has a wis band receiver. I own one and even
without =
the speech chip it is very easy to operate. in fact since the
place I =
purchased mien from keeps telign me the voice module is on back
order, I =
am going t just continue to use it without the speech. The
radio is so =
intuitive you can easily program it and enter pl tones and such
without =
speech. If you can count clicks lil everyone does on the thf6a
you only =
need speech for a convenience.Also everyone keeps saying that
the power =
levels are 5 10 and 50, but when you press the power level
button the =
low beep indicates 50 wats, the next higher beep is for 25 and
the last =
high beep is 5w, hen you ge a low beep and go back to 50, which
is the =
default when you reset the radio.
I am delighted with the radio and am very happy I purhcased it.
If you =
look around you can fid it for $360 from a couple elf the ham
dealers, =
unless the price went back up for the sumer, which does happen =
sometimes.

Probably the most accessible 2 meter rig is the Kenwood TMV71A.

Kenwood. In order to make the radio fully accessible, you would

I am not sure but I think this radio is a tri band radio, 2M

440Mhz and has a maximum output of 50 watts.
