SCAN RESUME METHODS

Before using Scans other than Visual Scan, it’s necessary to decide under what condition you want your transceiver to continue scanning after detecting and stopping for a signal. You can choose Time-Operated mode or Carrier-Operated mode. The default is Time-Operated mode.

•Time-Operated mode

Your transceiver stops scanning after detecting a signal, remains there for approximately 5 seconds, and then continues to scan even if the signal is still present.

•Carrier-Operated mode

Your transceiver stops scanning after detecting a signal and remains on the same frequency until the signal drops out. There is a 2 second delay between signal drop-out and scan resumption to allow time for any responding stations to begin transmitting.

Note:

◆Turning the Tuning control clockwise, or pressing Mic [UP] after a signal that has stopped Scan drops out, causes scanning to resume immediately upward.

◆Turning the Tuning control counterclockwise, or pressing Mic [DWN] after a signal that has stopped Scan drops out, causes scanning to resume immediately downward.

TM-V7A specifications

The Kenwood TM-V7A is a sophisticated dual-band transceiver that has garnered the attention of amateur radio enthusiasts worldwide. Designed for VHF and UHF operations, it offers a plethora of features that enhance communication capabilities and provide a robust user experience.

One of the standout characteristics of the TM-V7A is its dual-vfo (variable frequency oscillator) configuration, which allows users to monitor two frequencies simultaneously. This feature is particularly useful for coordinating communications across different bands or for listening to two channels at once. The large, bright LCD display provides clear visibility of the operating frequency, with the ability to monitor a wealth of information, including received signal strength and battery voltage.

The TM-V7A supports a wide range of operating modes, including FM, AM, and SSB, making it versatile enough for different communication needs. The device is compatible with CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System) and DCS (Digital-Coded Squelch), which adds significant convenience for group communications by reducing unwanted noise and interference.

Another important feature is its built-in APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) functionality. This allows operators to transmit their position automatically and share information with other APRS users. The built-in GPS capability enhances this feature, providing accurate location tracking that can be particularly beneficial during emergency response situations or for outdoor events.

For enhanced audio quality, the TM-V7A is equipped with a high-performance audio filter and variable bandwidth control. This allows operators to tailor the audio output based on the conditions of the band and personal preferences, improving clarity and intelligibility during conversations.

The transceiver is also designed with user-friendly navigation. The intuitive menu system enables easy access to settings and configurations, allowing operators of all experience levels to operate the radio effectively. Customization options further enhance user experience, with programmable memories allowing operators to save frequently used frequencies and settings.

The Kenwood TM-V7A’s rugged build quality ensures durability, making it suitable for both home and field operations. Its compact design allows for easy installation in vehicles or portable setups, making it an excellent choice for both casual users and serious amateur radio operators. Overall, the Kenwood TM-V7A stands out as a feature-rich transceiver capable of meeting the diverse needs of the amateur radio community, combining advanced technology with practical functionality.
