I've been transmitting with the TM-V7 for some time now and decided to get a newer TM-V71A. With the TM-V7 the programming of the bands were separate with the programming software. With the TM-V71A, the software available on the Kenwood website, the MCP-2A, all the channels (000 to 999) are on the same page for entries, contrary to the TM-V7 were both bands could be programmed separately.
Is there a way (that I haven't discovered yet ?) to program with the MCP-2A the VHF and UHF bands in order to monitor them on band A and B ? Is there a way to allocate a certain number of channels to VHF and/or UHF like it is possible with the software for the TM-V7. Example, I want to have 500 channels in each band and then monitor them at the same time with two separate speakers ?
I like the radio very much but I'm having this programming problem with VHF and UHF. I can't separate the 2m and 70cm bands in the radio with the software.
