[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] Press [SET] to use the changed operating frequency as the center frequency. Press [RESET] to restore the previous operating frequency. 5 To quit Visual Scan, press [OFF]. 42 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. 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: ◆ ■ Selecting Scan Resume Method 1 Select the desired band. 8 (Scan Resume). CALL 1 2 3 4 5 6 VOL SQL 7 8 4 Press [SET] to toggle Time-Operated or Carrier-Operated. 5 Press [MNU] again to exit Menu mode. 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 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. 43 VFO SCAN 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 MEMORY SCAN Memory Scan allows all memory channels containing data to be scanned. 2 Press [MR] (1 s). • • The 1 MHz decimal blinks while scanning is in progress. Scan starts with the channel last recalled. VFO Scan allows you to scan all frequencies from the lowest frequency to the highest frequency on the band. 2 Press [VFO] (1 s). • • The 1 MHz decimal blinks while scanning is in progress. Scan starts at the frequency currently displayed. 3 To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning control or press Mic [UP]/[DWN]. • • Upward scan: Turn the Tuning control clockwise or press Mic [UP]. Downward scan: Turn the Tuning control counterclockwise or press Mic [DWN]. 3 To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning control or press microphone [UP]/[DWN]. • • Upward scan: Turn the Tuning control clockwise or press Mic [UP]. Downward scan: Turn the Tuning control counterclockwise or press Mic [DWN]. 4 To quit VFO Scan, press [BAND SEL] for the band being scanned or [VFO]. • When scanning the TX band, you can also press Mic [PTT] to quit Scan. 4 To quit Memory Scan, press [BAND SEL] for the band being scanned or [MR]. • Note: ◆ When scanning the TX band, you can also press Mic [PTT] to quit Scan. Note: The squelch must be closed for Scan to function. At least 2 or more memory channels must contain data and must not be locked out. While Scan is being interrupted, the channel number blinks. 44 ■ Locking Out Memory Channels Memory channels that you prefer not to monitor while scanning can be locked out. Lock out any memory channel with the following procedure: 1 Select the desired band. 3 Turn the Tuning control, or press Mic [UP]/[DWN] to select the desired memory channel. 4 (Memory). CALL 8 Press [MNU] again to exit Menu mode. • "L" appears beside the memory channel number to indicate that the channel has been locked out. CALL 1 2 3 2 VOL SQL 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Lockout for an individual channel can be canceled by repeating the above procedure. Note: The L1 to L3 and U1 to U3 memory channels cannot be locked out. VOL SQL 2 11 12 6 Press [s], then select item No. 1 (Lock Out). CALL 13 14 15 VOL SQL 2 1 16 17 18 19 20 21 7 Press [SET] to toggle Lockout ON or OFF (default). 45 PROGRAM SCAN 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Program Scan is similar to VFO Scan except that you select the frequency range of the scan. ■ Setting Scan Limits You can store up to three scan ranges on each band, using memory channels L1/U1, L2/U2, and L3/U3. 2 Turn the Tuning control, or press Mic [UP]/[DWN], to display the desired lower limit. 4 Turn the Tuning control, or press Mic [UP]/[DWN], to select channel L1, L2, or L3. 6 Turn the Tuning control, or press Mic [UP]/[DWN], to display the desired upper limit. [. . . ] 3, 4 5 3 The front panel was not connected 3 Separate the front panel from the main unit by using the release switch on the securely to the main unit of the rear of the front panel, then lock the front transceiver. 88 4 Connect the connectorized cable correctly. 84 3, 4 Continued Problem The way the transceiver functions or displays information is strange. The display is too dim, even though you selected a high dimmer level. Probable Cause The electrical contacts on the front panel and main unit were soiled. The supply voltage is too low. Corrective Action Clean the electrical contacts on both the front panel and the main unit using a clean damp cloth. [. . . ]
