TM-V71A
144/440MHz FM TRANSCEIVER
Locked and loaded for action – Kenwood’s TM-V71A
FM dual bander (144/440MHz) is equipped to shine
in any mobile communications role.
The Adventure Awaits
Wherever you are headed, be sure to set off with
Kenwood’s TM-V71A. Featuring 50W output,
1,000 memory channels, multiple scan options,
and PC connectivity (to store and edit data), this
advanced FM transceiver is fully equipped to take
on the toughest challenges, day or night. Powerful
performance is matched with intuitive operational
ease: the large LCD panel – with a choice of
either amber or green adjustable backlighting –
PF keys, and EchoLink® compatibility all help to
make this the ideal companion for dependable
dual-band communications on the move.
HIGH RF POWER OUTPUT (50W)
The TM-V71A provides an impressive 50 watts of RF power (VHF
& UHF), with a choice of High/Mid/Low output.
DUAL RECEIVE ON SAME BAND (VxV, UxU)
In addition to simultaneous receive on both VHF and UHF bands, this
radio can receive two frequencies on the very same band. This means,
for example, that you can have both the call channel and local channel,
or the repeater channel and local channel, on the same band.
COMPATIBLE WITH ARRL TravelPlus*
The MCP-2A programming software is compatible
with ARRL TravelPlus For Repeaters; this allows data
export to the radio, making trip planning easy.
*TravelPlus is available from the ARRL at www.arrl.org
“FIVE-IN-ONE” PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY
For extra versatility, the TM-V71A has a programmable memory that
can store five entire operating profiles, ready for instant recall at the
push of a button. Each profile includes such settings as display
mode, frequency range, and memory mode. It can equally be used
to switch between 5 VFO frequencies .
1,000 MULTIFUNCTION MEMORY CHANNELS
There are 1,000 split memory channels for storing essential data — such
as transmit and receive frequencies, frequency step, and tone frequency
— plus an additional 10 for programmable
scan. You can identify each channel with up to
6 alphanumeric characters (Memory Name
function). Additionally, memory data can be
edited and stored on a PC using the optional
PG-5G programming interface cable and
MCP-2A Memory Control software
(a free download from the Kenwood website*).

MULTIPLE SCAN
As well as VFO scan, program scan, MHz scan, memory scan and call
scan, the TM-V71A offers memory bank scan: the 1,000 channels
are grouped into 10 banks for selective scanning. Also featured are
scan resume (time-operated, carrier-operated, and seek), memory
channel lockout, tone scan, CTCSS scan, and DCS scan.
INVERTIBLE FRONT PANEL
For greater installation convenience, the
detachable front panel can be inverted so the
transceiver can be mounted upside down, thus
ensuring that the speaker is not obstructed.
CHOICE OF 2 BACKLIGHT COLORS
To maximize visibility, the backlight color for the large LCD panel can
be switched between warm amber and cool green.
Amber Green
104-CODE DIGITAL CODE SQUELCH
In addition to CTCSS (42 subtone frequencies), the TM-V71A is
equipped for DCS (104 codes). Whatever code is chosen, the
squelch will only open for reception if the other party uses the
identical code.
VOICE GUIDANCE &
STORAGE OPTION (VGS-1)
The audible announcement function is
enabled for blind-key operation using
the optional VGS-1 unit, which also
provides up to 30 seconds of
continuous recording.
WEATHER ALERT/RX (US only)
This transceiver is capable of receiving the NOAA Weather Band and
responding to emergency transmissions such as storm warnings by
emitting an audible alert tone.
EchoLink® Sysop MODE FOR NODE
TERMINAL OPERATION
When the TM-V71A is connected to a PC (with the necessary
Windows-compatible software installed) using the PG-5H option, it
can operate as a node terminal for EchoLink®. EchoLink® connects
radio amateurs through the Internet using VoIP technology: any
transceiver with access to a node can connect to any other in the
world as long as it too has node access. It is also possible to access
the EchoLink® network directly from a PC.
To register for EchoLink® (using your call sign), access the official website at www.echolink.org.
EchoLink® MEMORY (AUTOMATIC DIALER)
Up to 10 DTMF memory channels dedicated to EchoLink® can store call
signs (or conference names) and Node Numbers. Memory Control is
also possible using a PC with the MCP-2A software.
