th77.2
Let's  see if your
battery can hold out that long!  The workaround so the TH77A will
ring, rather than just beep and open squelch is to put the radio
in the pager mode AND also put it in Tone Alert.  When you get
paged... the radio will "beep beep (pause) beep beep" five times
and start up the timer.  Kenwood has provided two different types
of BEEPS for you.  The second type is to ring like an electronic
telephone.  This one *REALLY* sounds nice!!  For those of you that
like autodial memories, there are 10 memories that can store 15
characters each.  There are 40 regular frequency memories in this
radio and you can make them all UHF if you like (no restriction).
NOW!  On to the *EXTRA* capabilities (there are other BASIC functions
that I didn't mention, those were just the highlights).
After making a few modifications to this radio, you can get it to
do the regular stuff that the IC24AT will do, such as AM aircraft,
expanded UHF (400-512 depending on PLL lock) and 800-950 (again,
depending on PLL lock) in addition to cross band repeat.
HOW DO YOU DO THIS!?
