Yes, I hope they install the chip as well. Far as your power
supply, it will work for the low and medium power settings on the
rig, but the high power is 50 watts out so you might be pushing
your luck with your present power supply if you use high power.
It will probably work but could be marginal. Maybe someone on
the list will tell us the power requirements or you could call
HRO and ask them. I am using a 30 amp switching supply but am
also powering the Ts-480 HF rig with it at the same time. 73,

Well Lets just hope they installed it for me.
I hope my power supply I already own will work for this radio.
I think its 12 amps.
I use it to power a htx-242 at the moment.

Hi Edward, well, I installed the chip in the TMV-71A as well
as=20
the TS-480. The install was much easier on the 71A because
you=20
only have to remove the top cover and keep track of 8 small=20

then=20
a small cover inside the rig plus be very careful with a
