Well Lets just hope they installed it for me.

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 screws.  With the 480 you
have to remove both the top cover then=20 a small cover inside the rig plus
be very careful with a bundle=20 of very small wires running between the
inner cover and the front=20 panel of the rig.  Anyway, the 71A is a piece
of cake if you=20 aren't worried about taking things apart and getting them
back=20 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=20 VHF/UHF
=3D rig=3D20 out there, and I am sure you will absolutely love it!
Virtually=20 all=3D20 functions and menu settings are accessible via the
VGS1 voice=20 vchip.


I don't know what would work best for you, but I have quite a few=20 =3D
helpful=3D20 files on the radio, including a great audio tutorial that
was=20 made by =3D one of=3D20 our list members--Steve Dresser (WA1RTB).

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

Just give me a preferred private e-mail address, and I'll take it=20
from=3D20=3D

there.
