Dual-mode reversible LCD
“Five-in-one” programmable memory
The TM-V7E(BL) has a multiple “person­ality” to suit different conditions. Its pro­grammable memory can store five entire operating profiles, ready for instant recall at the push of a button. Each profile includes such settings as positive/nega­tive display mode, dimmer level, frequen­cy range, and memory mode.
Dual receive on same band (f2)
In addition to simultaneous receive on VHF and U HF bands, the TM-V7E(BL) can receive two frequencies on the same band. Monoband use is also possible.
Up to 28 0 multi-function memory channels
There’s capacity as well as versatility: up to 280 memory channels for storing important data — transmit and receive frequencies (independently), frequency step, tone frequency, etc. (180 channels when using Memory Name function)
Memory Name function
For greater convenience, you can choose to identify each channel with up to 7 alphanumeric characters. In this mode, the number of memory channels available is 180.
Multi-scan functions
Full band and program band scans, memory scan with memory channel lock­out, MHz scan and call scan are all avail­able. For each band there are TO (time­operated) and CO (carrier-operated) scan stop modes.
Visual scan with pause
Visual scan display
By automatically checking above and below the frequency currently in use, and graphing the results on the LCD (147 channels max.), this new feature is
convenient for searching out open channels.
DTSS selective calling with page function
Built-in DTSS (Dual-Tone Squelch System) allows DTMF access: the squelch is opened only when a specific 3-digit code has been received. The page function alerts you to incoming calls and opens the squelch if the receiv­er has been programmed to accept a DTMF tone group. And even during normal reception (squelch open), the TM-V7E can be on the alert for a pre­determined code.
Built-in CTCS S encoder/decoder
The CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) encoder/decoder en­ables operation of the 38 E IA-standard CTCSS subtone frequencies.
Auto simplex checker
ASC will automatically check whether it is possible to switch from a repeater to simplex communications.
Advanced Intercept Point
You can choose either high sensitivity for simplex/weak-signal work, or a high intercept point — using Kenwood’s own AIP circuitry — to minimize intermod or adjacent channel interference.
Kenwood’s TM-V7E(BL) FM dual-band (144MHz/430MHz) transceiver is packed with powerful on-board features that give it the edge in today’s mobile communications. T ake, for instance, the “five-in-one” programmable memory, DTSS and pager functions, 280 memory channels, and the ability to receive two frequencies on the same band. Yet at the same time it offers superb ease of operation, with its user-friend-
ly controls, large LCD and guide function.
Outside and in, the TM-V7E(BL) exemplifies
the designed-in quality and attention to
detail for which Kenwood
is famous.

6-pin mini DI N connector for 1200/9 6 00bps packet
The front panel features a connector for hooking up to a TNC, enabling either standard 1200bps or 96 00bps high­speed packet communications. And for extra convenience, the TM-V7E(BL) lets you set up separate bands for voice and data.
Quick-release detachable front panel kit (option)
To enhance security, simply remove the compact front panel whenever the car is left unattended. If the optional quick­release kit is used, the panel can be mounted virtually anywhere since the microphone cable connects directly to the main unit.

There’s no need to carry the manual with you — the friendly guide function displays operating instructions at the touch of a button.
Quick-release front panel installations
The typical installations illustrated here demonstrate just two of the many ways in which detachable front panel kits may be used with the TM-V7A(BL). For a minivan, the main unit can be installed out of the way under a front seat. In the case of a pas­senger car, it can be installed in the trunk. The choice of cable lengths ensures full versatility to suit a wide variety of vehicles.
