It's especially frustrating when all they need to do is make the 
rig transmit on 220.  It already receives there.  Just enter a 
220 frequency and you'll find out that's true.  Jim WA6EKS

I too would like to see Kenwood come out with a tri-bandFM mobile 
rig which
would include 220.  Unfortunately, as someone here on the list 
pointed out,
it probably won't happen.  I have a Jetstream 220 radio.  Unless 
you have a
computer to program it with, it's all but useless to a blind guy!

What is a TMV510? Did it come out prior to the 71a? Long as I am
writing, I would like to wish that Kenwood would come out with a
triband version of the TMV71A that would have 2 meters, 220 MHZ,
and 70 Cm.  I mean it will already receive on 220, why not
transmit?? JIM WA6EKS

Hi Matt,

The TMV71a and the TMV510 are the most accessible fm rigs on the
market.  The PL tones speak, the menus speak, the memories and
the vfos
speak, the only thing that is not voiced is the s-meter.

Hi, Folks.  I have a TM-D710, which I think is close to the TM-d
or
G71.  My question is:  is the radio set up for automatic
repeater
offset by default?  Also, do the PL tones speak or do I need
sighted
assistance to set them?  Thanks in advance.--Matt, N1IBB.
