TH77.4

Forward from the Internet ... for those of you who have the
Kenwood TH77A but have not found the game.

One more feature worth mentioning for humour value:

If you hold down M and PTT and power up, the HT enters "game mode".  You get
"0000" on the left of the screen. Press "0" and digits start changing
rapidly in hex (consequently all appearing as "8"). By pressing 1,2,3 or F
you stop the appropriate column. If they all come up the same, er, well I
guess you win... maybe something good happens then. Maybe it enables
transmit on, cellphone, air, and 30cm :-). At 1 chance in 65536 I'm not
about to try to find out, though...

(Somebody with the service manual told me the above)

Despite what I said in my previous msg about not wanting to try it, I just
did. Much to my amazement, after only one or two minutes, I won! By timing
the keypresses very carefully, one can improve the chances from 1 in 4096
significantly, it seems [ignore my "1 in 65536" in my previous mail,
obviously I wasn't thinking straight.. obviously there are 16 winning
combinations out of 65536]

And yes, something Interesting does happen when you get all four numbers the
same (at least when you get "2222" like I got). More specifically, the
display starts doing something humorous.
