REVIEW KENWOOD TMV7A SOFTWARE |
|||
| I RECOMMENDED GAYLAND GET THE KENWOOD PROGRAMMING CABLE, AND USE THE KENWOOD SOFTWARE SO AS TO BE ABLE TO EASILY CHANGE THE OMAHA AREA FREQUENCIES WHEN HE WENT TO TEXAS. N0UQZ, JIM | |||
|
|||
| WHEN MY RADIO ARRIVED I PLUGGED IN THE KENWOOD PROGRAMMING CABLE TO THE COM PORT ON THE BACK OF THE COMPUTER, THE OTHER END INTO THE RADIO, TURNED ON THE COMPUTER, OPENED THE KENWOOD PROGRAM AND A MINUTE LATER I WAS READY TO GET IN ON ALL THE OMAHA AREA ACTION, AND ENJOY ALL THE FEATURES MY NEW RADIO WAS BURSTING WITH. PLEASE NOTE THE KENWOOD DID NOT NEED ANY SPECIAL RADIO COMMANDS LIKE HOLD THESE 2 BUTTON AND TURN ON. IT WAS AS SIMPLE AS CLICKING THE MENU CAPTION RADIO AND CLICKING WRITE TO RADIO MY 100 PLUS FREQUENCIES WERE LOADED IN ABOUT 20 SECONDS. | |||
| I PLAN TO GET A TNC, SO CHECK BACK AND I WILL BRING YOU UP TO DATE ON HOW EASY PACKET IS ALSO. | |||
| I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE FOR TEXAS SO MY PRIORITY WAS TO GET THE TEXAS FREQUENCIES ENTERED INTO MEMORY CHANNELS FIRST. JIM, N0UQZ TOLD ME IT WAS EASY AND IT WAS. AS YOU SEE IT WAS SO EASY I SAVED MY FIRST FILE AS KC0IPO HOUSTON AND SINCE IT WAS SO EASY AND FAST I DID OMAHA ALSO AND SAVED IT AS KC0IPO OMAHA. SOME OF YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHY I NEED FREQUENCIES FOR OMAHA AND HOUSTON, THE ANSWER IS THAT IN HOUSTON SOME OF THE FREQUENCIES ARE DIFFERENT AND THE TONE INPUTS ARE DIFFERENT FROM OMAHA. | |||
 |
SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED ON THE SCREEN CAPTURE PHOTO THE FILE IS: MCP-V7 A:\KC0IPO HOUSTON, THAT'S RIGHT. THE KENWOOD FILE IS ONLY A LITTLE OVER 800K AND EACH FILE FOR A DIFFERENT CITY IS SO SMALL I COPIED THE KENWOOD PROGRAM AND FILES TO A FLOPPY. |

 WHEN
I AM IN OMAHA I MONITOR THE 146.82 AND THE OMAHA IRLP LINK ON 443.725.
MY HAM FRIENDS IN TEXAS MONITOR, SEE TO THE LEFT THE IRLP IN THEIR CITY AND THAT WAY WE STAY IN COMMUNICATION WITH EACH OTHER. IF YOU CHOOSE A KENWOOD DUAL BAND YOU JUST CANNOT GO WRONG. |

 WHEN
I AM IN OMAHA I TALK TO MY FRIENDS IN TEXAS VIA THE IRLP INTERNET
CONNECTION ON 443.725. I JUST GET ON THE REPEATER AND ASK ONE OF
THE CONTROL OPERATORS TO CONNECT ME TO HOUSTON, I USUALLY GET JIM
OR BRANDON ON HIS D700A.
THEY USE THE KEYPAD ON THEIR KENWOOD MIKE TO KEY IN THE TONES
THAT HOOK UP HOUSTON, THEN I MAKE THE A CALL TO MY HAM BUDDIES 850 MILES
AWAY. |

 THIS
KENWOOD SOFTWARE IS THE GREATEST. I AM SURE GLAD THAT I LISTENED TO JIM,
N0UQZ AND STAYED WITH KENWOOD.
I REMEMBER JIM'S WORDS AT THE SEMINARS HE GIVES AT CLUB MEETINGS. KENWOOD QUALITY AND FEATURES ARE BUILT IN , NOT ADDED ON. YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THE RADIO ALLOWS AN ALPHA NUMERIC CHANNEL NAME INSTEAD OF JUST A CHANNEL NUMBER. |
|||
| I HOPE YOU ENJOYED ME SHARING THE KENWOOD SOFTWARE WITH YOU, 73, GAYLAND | |||
I CAN NOW USE ANY ONES COMPUTER TO PROGRAM
ADDITION CHANGES OR ADD OTHER CITIES AS I AM ON MY TRIP.
