Thanks for the introduction. I have several V71A rigs that I really like. One of the things I really like about Kenwood HT and mobile rigs is how easy they are to program from the front panel. I just started playing with packet and APRS, so a 710G is in my future. 73 de AG7TX
Is a shorter head cable available for the TM-D710GA? I only need a 3’ cord to connect the head to the radio but I’m having problems sourcing one. I think it’s insulated. We installed this in my Toyota Tacoma last week. I love this 710GA so much I ordered another one as a dedicated VHF/UHF base station. Your videos are great. I’ve watched them all several times to help set my equipment up right & fast. Thank you! 🇺🇸
I sure hope you are still getting comment notifications on this video. I need your help. I just got my Kenwood TM-D710D and want to know how to switch the display so I have VHF on one side and UHF on the other. I had it and now I don't. I have a list of frequencies I want in my radio. Do I need to enter the order on VHF & UHF in a special order on memory position ie all UHF on memory channels 100 and greater. The manual is good but not great. Can someone help me out. Thank you.
I noticed that the TM-D710G can scan tones by holding down the tone select key. I haven’t experimented with this feature. Will it locate the required PL tone automatically for a given frequency to open a repeater?
Thank you for the informative videos. I see that you have a few videos on the Kenwood TM-D710G and on the Yaesu FTM 400XD. I am currently trying to decide between those two radios and wonder if you have any preference. Thanks again, Eric KN6HMK
Both are great radios and I use both almost daily. For me it comes down to where it is being used and the features you want. Where for a mounted mobile APRS radio in my vehicle I prefer the Yaesu FTM-400XD due to it having a full QWERTY keyboard integrated into the touch screen. It makes it a lot easier to use all the APRS features and tools. When it comes to a base dual band radio or a portable base set up I prefer the Kenwood TM-D710 because of the full internal TNC and the ability to do UHF/VHF packet radio as well as configure it as a Digipeater.
@@ka6ete217 Thank you for the quick feedback! I think i will be happy either way, I was originally leaning towards the Yaesu because of the color touch screen but, after looking into it more I get the feeling the Kenwood is a more capable radio and that Kenwood has a better reputation for quality.
Yes it does have the capability, but it does not always work correctly. On occasion it may enter the wrong direction of shift, as well as enter a shift when trying to use a simplex frequency. I have found it easier to simply disable the automatic repeater shift and enter the shift manually when needed.
