Full control of TM-V71A & TM-D710A

The RC-D710 can replace the TM-V71A control panel to enable all the features of the TM-D710A. It can also be used as the control panel for the TM-D710A.

Large LCD with 2 backlight colors

The full dot-matrix LCD offers 2 backlight colors: amber and green.

Memory Control Program compatible

Using a PC running the MCP-2A*2Memory Control Program, you can edit and manage such data as the settings for various APRS functions.
