Kenwood TM-V71A, TM-V71E instruction manual Application Examples

Application Examples

The following are examples of how you might use Programmable Memory. These examples may not represent applications useful to you, but you will understand the flexibility of this function.

Situation: You share your transceiver with other members in your family or club. However, each individual has personal preferences for how they like to set various functions. You have to keep changing many settings each time you use the transceiver.

Solution: Because 5 PM channels are available, up to 5 persons can separately program the transceiver and store their customized environment. Then each person can quickly change to his or her favorite settings, simply by recalling a PM channel. It is too much trouble to change back the settings after somebody else has reconfigured them. So this application may avoid having a feature-rich transceiver but never using many useful features.

Situation: While operating mobile on the way to work every morning, you prefer a silent transceiver that does not interrup the morning calm. In addition, you feel that a bright display is useless in the sunlight. At night when driving home, you realize the Beep function truly does serve a purpose and you acknowledge it is nice to see a bright display after dark.

Solution: In 2 PM channels, store the same operating data such as frequency, offset, tone, etcl, and store different settings for the Display brightness and Beep functions. Then you can quickly recall the best settings for day or night operation.

Situation: You cannot figure out how to exit the current transceiver mode.

Solution: Simply recall PM channel 1, which contains an exact copy of the transceiver default environment. You will not lose the contents of any memory channels.
