Dual-mode reversible LCD

The blue LCD panel, which displays dot- matrix characters — can be switched between positive and negative display modes to ensure optimum visibility in all conditions. Also, the large control panel (51.5 x 105 mm) features four multifunc- tion keys — with key function display — for improved operating ease.

“Five-in-one” programmable memory

The TM-V7E(BL) has a multiple “person- ality” to suit different conditions. Its pro- grammable memory can store five entire operating profiles, ready for instant recall at the push of a button. Each profile includes such settings as positive/nega- tive display mode, dimmer level, frequen- cy range, and memory mode.

Dual receive on same band (f2)

In addition to simultaneous receive on VHF and UHF bands, the TM-V7E(BL) can receive two frequencies on the same band. Monoband use is also possible.

Up to 280 multi-function memory channels

There’s capacity as well as versatility: up to 280 memory channels for storing important data — transmit and receive frequencies (independently), frequency step, tone frequency, etc. (180 channels when using Memory Name function)

Memory Name function

For greater convenience, you can choose to identify each channel with up to 7 alphanumeric characters. In this mode, the number of memory channels available is 180.

Multi-scan functions

Full band and program band scans, memory scan with memory channel lock- out, MHz scan and call scan are all avail- able. For each band there are TO (time- operated) and CO (carrier-operated) scan stop modes.

Visual scan with pause

Visual scan display

By automatically checking above and below the frequency currently in use, and graphing the results on the LCD (147 channels max.), this new feature is

convenient for searching out open channels.

DTSS selective calling with page function

Built-in DTSS (Dual-Tone Squelch System) allows DTMF access: the squelch is opened only when a specific 3-digit code has been received. The page function alerts you to incoming calls and opens the squelch if the receiv- er has been programmed to accept a DTMF tone group. And even during normal reception (squelch open), the TM-V7E can be on the alert for a pre- determined code.

Built-in CTCSS encoder/decoder

The CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) encoder/decoder en- ables operation of the 38 EIA-standard CTCSS subtone frequencies.

Auto simplex checker

ASC will automatically check whether it is possible to switch from a repeater to simplex communications.

Advanced Intercept Point

You can choose either high sensitivity for simplex/weak-signal work, or a high intercept point — using Kenwood’s own AIP circuitry — to minimize intermod or adjacent channel interference.
