Can't get it to work. I have a simplex frequency on the right and our 440 repeater on the left. I transmit with my ht and it transmits to the simplex channel but I hear it coming out of my external speaker and its not getting to the repeater side. Any help would be great. SEE display PIC. Thanks Ron
cigarjohn, i have both radios. i would rather have two kenwoods.
i have the 8900r in my vehicle. the 6 meter and 10 meter are useless as who uses 6 meter or 10 meter fm. noboby! get the kenwood or get two. i keep it in the shack.
actually i purchased the "RC-D710" head for only 99 bucks and now it is a kenwood d710. get the kenwood. please you will thank me for many years, get the kenwood.
Thanks for the info. Good video demonstration. I'm looking to purchase my first mobile 2m/70cm radio to use as a base station for my newly purchased Arrow Antenna Dual Band JPole. I was looking at this radio and the Yaesu 7900m/8800R. Can't make up my mind. eham.com rates these radios very good. Any advice on my selections?
i use my old tm733 for crossband good feature,its a good idea to engage time out timer(tot) so in heavy traffic it shuts off then re starts also you can activate remote use so using dtmf you have external control when out,i have to remove mike though as it will pick up noise in room and ends up sounding terrible
No, it is cross band repeat only. "In band" repeaters require large band pass and/or notch filters. Otherwise the transmitter will overload the receiver. Google "repeater duplexer" to see see how large they are for a 2m repeater and you will see why a small mobile radio cannot function as an in band repeater. However the cross band repeat function is really cool and can serve as a powerful tool in emergency communications.
Bought my V71 almost a year ago and I absolutely love it. I plan on buying a second one soon. This is an excellent radio using an older style look about it from years ago when radio's were simpler to use. Although this model still uses menu's, once you affiliate yourself with this radio's operation it's very easy to use. Excellent cross band repeat operation too, which I use every single day :)
Just modded mine to the K spec had an E version can't find out hot to turn the low tx down to milliwatts any ideas as five watts is too much for what I want!
You need a dual band antenna one that will work on two frequencies COMET are my preference but I am in the Uk a good radio shop will point you in the right direction
Nice Video..I am trying to decide which one I want to buy next. I do like this radio. Do you need a duplexer for the V71? Check out all my videos..look me up on youtube N3CDX
hello, i recently bought new the "Kenwood RC-D710" faceplate for 99 bucks at HRO in Denver. It turns the v71 into the d710. LOVE IT! good luck. recently got the cables for the rig also. highly recommend those also!
i can hit squaw mtn from loveland. i do listen to the 145.115. i have heard many other hams in parker checking into the fort collins machine with a base antenna. good luck on your ticket and do holler up for me on the 145.115 as soon as you get your ticket!
Very nice demo. I am about a little over a week from getting my ticket and this will be my base radio as well. I have the same situation that a HT can't hit Squaw Mountain or Conifer Mountain just west of Denver from east Parker. Maybe with a bit of luck and a bit of power I could hit the 145.115 from here as I can see the mountain the repeater is on from my roof.
with your antenna on your roof you should be able to hit ALL repeaters up and down the front range.
i can hit all the denver area repeaters from way up here on just 5 watts! (base and mobile) get your antenna up on your roof and you will be very happy!
radioguy100, heck no.......it sure is fun though.
i made this video when i lived up in the mountains.
to far for my ht to make it to the repeaters but good for my 50 watt mobile in the shack. so when i want to run around our property and still chat with the guys, i put it on crossband and can keep in the qso with low power on my ht from far away.
@acetech82 you are not supose to use two different repeaters. one freq is simplex and the other is the repeater. lots of people learn that quick. did you figure it out?
@hamradiofreq yeah, i know one is simplex and the other is a repeater. problem I have is the Kenwood will go in to a lock mode and stop transmitting during heavy traffic on a repeater.

can you use this radio in the cross band mode to link a 70cm repeater and a 2m repeater together?
i know it's cool to use in a simplex/repeater function but if needed could you link machines?

can you use the CT or DSC in "Crossband Mode" ? I have the same Kenwood, but it is`nt working.
