|Expanding the Kenwood TM-V7: A & E versions |
| |
| |
|[pic] |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|Original TM-V7A Mod from NFXQ96A@. (MR CORY B MCDONALD) |
|Additional TM-V7E notes from bowyermj@. (Mike Bowyer) |
| |
|Original TM-V7A Mod: |
| |
|Remove the top and bottom covers. |
| |
|Look at the vertical p.c. board behind the front of the radio. There will be 2 small chip resistors on the left side of the board. |
| |
|Carefully remove the one with the number 0. It will be the one closest to the left near the grounding spring. You will probably have to |
|scrape it off with a pair of needle nose pliers. |
| |
|After you remove it the VFO ranges should be: |
|VHF TX 136.995 - 173.995. RX should be 118-174. |
|UHF TX should be 410-469.995 RX should be 300-470. |
| |
|Additional TM-V7E notes: |
| |
|There is a row of five numbered links on the edge of the front panel board. |
|In my E version radio, 0, 2 & 3 were made as standard. I now have only one link fitted in the number 4 position which enables the |
|repeater function not defaulted in European versions. I have removed all other links. |
| |
|I can now also receive the AM Aircraft band (118-137MHz). It is possible to change from AM to FM by pressing the MHz button for 1 second.|
|Plus I have discovered doing the same key press (MHz for 1s) in the UHF band gives a 800-999Mhz RX band. |
| |
|The European version has a 1750Hz tone-burst function, a modified band plan for the auto-repeater shift function, adds a -7.6Mhz repeater|
|shift and sets the band limits to 144-146 & 430-440 - the AM Air band & 800Mhz bands are disabled. All these European 'features' are lost|
|when the radio is expanded. |
|(The repeater offsets are still programmable, but you must learn how to whistle at 1750Hz). I think the only other difference between the|
|A and E versions is that the E version has an N type antenna connector fitted. |
| |
|Making link number 5 causes the radio to power up in a Memory recall mode (i.e., with channel numbers) and so is not overly useful! |
| |
|I'm not sure exactly what links 0, 1, 2, & 3 all do individually! Maybe other configurations are possible: any information would be |
|gratefully received. |
| |
|As for RF performance, the front-end (and PA) must be tweaked to use frequencies other than the factory alligned defaults, with a little |
|tweaking out of band performance should come good (at the expense of regular 2m/70cm performance). |
| |
|The chip resistors are SMD zero ohm things - a wire link (or solder blob) will do the same job. They can be carefully removed (for |
|re-use) by using a fine tipped iron, de-solder braid, and a pair of long nose pliers or tweezers. The front board can be carefully |
|detached from the rest of the radio to make removing the links easier. |
| |
|Mike Bowyer. |

|The DTSS will be disabled and no longer function after performing this mod. At least it doesn't on my radio anymore. |

|Subject: kenwood tmv7 extended tx |
| |
|with reference to the above mod ,yes all works fine but no extended tx |
|i have no jumpers conected from 0 to 4 no 4 has a wire jumper,this enables extended rx, but to extend the tx you must add a wire jumper |
|to no 2 . |
| |

|PG-4S programmer cable for the TM-V7x |
| |
| |
|[pic] |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|Author: Wulf, DB8KY |
| |
|NOTE: This is not a copy of the existing PG-4S cable but a replacement designed by DB8KY. |
|One of the most handy things about this transceiver is: you can program this transceiver by computer. You can download the software from |
|the Kenwood site but there no datasheet of the PG-4S cable which you require. I found a datasheet which replace the PG-4S cable and is |
|designed by DB8KY. I made this cable and it works fine on my transceiver. |
|The manual is written in German by DB8KY. He said he never tried this cable on a TM-V7, but it works very good on my transceiver. So here|
|below you will see the instructions. |
|Have fun! PE1PTS |
| |
|Der Kenwood TM-G707E ist ja ein schoenes Geraet und die Vergabe von Speichernamen ein nettes Feature, wenn man das alles nur vom Rechner |
|aus programmieren koennte... |
| |
|Kann man, die Software dazu steht bei Kenwood auf der Web-Seite, dann fehlt nur das Kabel zum Anschluss an den Rechner. Ich habe zwar |
|keine Ahnung was sich in dem original PG-4S Kabel von Kenwood abspielt, wenn man den TM-G707E aber in den Clone-Mode versetzt und sich |
|mal die Signale auf der Mini-DIN Buchse ansieht wird klar, dass es sich bei der Elektronik im Kabel um einen TTL/RS232-Wandler handeln |
|muss. Die unten dargestellte Schaltung erfuellt diese Aufgabe bei mir jedenfalls klaglos. Ich denke das ganze funktioniert auch am |
|TM-V7E. |
| |
|Wie funktioniert es: |
|Die Verbindung zwischen Pin 4 und 5 benoetigt der Kenwood wohl um von FSK auf seriellen Betrieb umzuschalten. Das Signal vom PC zieht |
|ueber R5 mit T2 den RxD-Eingang am Kenwood low, hier ist intern offensichtlich bereits ein Pull-up |
| |
|Widerstand vorhanden. Schwieriger ist der Weg vom Kenwood zum PC, der Kenwood gibt nur ein TTL-Signal aus, der serielle Eingang am PC |
|will aber +/- ca. 10V sehen. Also muessen zwei Hilfsspannungen gewonnen werden. Aus dem RTS-Signal |
|des PC wird ueber R1 eine positive Spannung gewonnen und mit D1 und C1 stabilisiert. Aus dem TxD-Signal des PC wird ueber D3 und R6 dann |
|noch eine negative Spannung gewonnen und mit C2 gepuffert. Dann kann der Kenwood mit den Sendedaten ueber T1 jetzt zwischen der positiven|
|und negativen Spannung umschalten. |
| |
|Ich habe das ganze in den Sub-D Stecker reingefummelt. |
|Viel Spass damit wuenscht Wulf, DB8KY |

|Expanded RX/TX and crossband repeater |
| |

| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|If you want just mod the RX QRG remove the resistor R546. |
|For the TX-RX mod remove R542 & R546 |
|3210 TX RX TX RX |
|OOXO 144/146 144/146 430/440 430/440 |
|XOXO 144/146 144/146 432/438 432/438 |
|OOXX 144/146 118/174 430/440 300/470 |
|XOXX 136/174 118/174 410/470 300/470 |
|REM:With one of this 4 mods you can have the 1750 of the mike. |
|But if you want have the bigest mod (but no 1750) you can try: |
|XXXX 136/174 118/174 410/470 300/524 |
|XXXO 136/174 118/174 410/470 300/524 |
|For the cross band repeater jump the strap 4 |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|0 1 2 3 4 5 6 |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
|3= R542 (W501) |
|2= R543 (W502) |
|1= R544 |
|0= R546 |
| |
|O = JUMPER |
|X = NO JUMPER |

|Conversion A ..... Reception wide band (Already dealt with for M destinations) |
|E destination ..... Eliminates mounted chip jumper resistor R542 (0 ohm). |
|K destination ..... Cuts the mounted jumper wire (W501). |
|Conversion B ...... Repeater/answer back (Already dealt with for K destinations) |
|Chip jumper resistor 0 ohm added (R92-0670-05) |
|* The chip removed in Conversion A can be used in Conversion B. |
|* When adding or eliminating the chip jumper resistor, be careful not to peel off any printed circuit pattern and not to harm any other parts. |
|Contents of settings by destination |
|For the list of contents of settings for each destination, see (Appendix tables 1 - 5). |
