Good morning, all!
I have a dual TK-790/890 remote-mount set-up in my Tacoma, and am looking to transfer it into a Durango. The Durango has a lot less space in out-of-view spots for the giant TK transceiver main units. The TM-V71A seems like a viable replacement that has a lot less of a footprint for its main unit. The issue I'm having is this: what is the benefit to the TK (commercial) set-up over the TM (ham) rig?
I primarily use the commercial set-up for fire and emergency service comms (my job), but am aware of the TM-V71A's out-of-band mods. It sounds like it would still fit my needs, as I only rarely use ham freq's.
Any significant difference in capabilities between these two set-ups? I presume durability will be an issue with the TM, but are there any other concerns?
Thanks for the feedback!
