[. . . ] 144/440 MHz FM DUAL BANDER TM-V7A TM-V7A TM-V7E 144/430 MHz FM DUAL BANDER 144/430 MHz FM DUAL BANDER INSTRUCTION MANUAL KENWOOD CORPORATION © B62-1503-00 (K, E, M) 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00 THANK YOU! We are grateful you decided to purchase this KENWOOD FM transceiver. This series of mobile transceivers were developed to satisfy the requirement for a compact rig that’s simple to operate yet contains numerous sophisticated features. The dual band operation will be appreciated by hams who want access to VHF and UHF bands with a transceiver smaller than some single banders. KENWOOD believes that the compact size coupled with the reasonable cost will guarantee your satisfaction with this product. FEATURES • Enhanced Programmable Memory (PM) channels store virtually entire current operating environments for your quick recall.

After becoming comfortable with how to use all types of Scan, the monitoring flexibility gained will increase your operating efficiency. This transceiver provides the following conventional scans in addition to “Visual Scan” {page 41} that may be new to you. Scan Type VFO Scan Memory Scan Program Scan MHz Scan Call/VFO Scan Call/Memory Scan Scan Range All frequencies tunable on the band Frequencies stored in the memory channels All frequencies in the range selected on the band All frequencies within 1 MHz range Call channel plus the current VFO frequency Call channel plus the memory channel last used When using with CTCSS and/or DTSS: • While using CTCSS, Scan stops and the squelch opens only when received signals contain the matching CTCSS tone. • While using DTSS, Scan stops for any signals received. However, if the signals do not contain the matching DTSS code, the squelch does not open. • When both CTCSS and DTSS are ON, Scan stops for signals that contain the matching CTCSS tone. However, if the signals do not contain the matching DTSS code, the squelch does not open. Note: ◆ ◆ ◆ Remember to adjust the squelch threshold level before using Scan. Always turn OFF Monitor {page 73} and Page before using Scan. When using S-meter Squelch, Scan stops when the received signal strength matches or exceeds the S-meter setting. Scan resumes 2 seconds after the signal level drops below the S-meter setting. 40 VISUAL SCAN While you are on the air, Visual Scan allows you to monitor frequencies near the current operating frequency. Visual Scan graphically and simultaneously shows how all frequencies in the selected range are busy. You will see up to 14 segments, for each channel, that represent 7 S-meter levels (2 segments per level). You determine the scan range by selecting the center frequency and the number of channels. The default number of channels is 49. S-meter level 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 ■ Selecting the Number of Channels 1 Press [MNU] to enter Menu mode. 2 (Front Panel).

Press [PAUSE] again to resume. ◆ If you start Visual Scan in Memory Recall mode, the memory channel frequencies will be scanned. If you start Visual Scan after recalling the Call channel, the call channel frequency will be used as the center frequency. Starting Visual Scan switches Automatic Band Change OFF. If you start Visual Scan in one of the following conditions, you cannot receive in the current operating frequency.
