TM-D710 series :

The transceiver, first introduced in 2007, was upgraded with the TM-D710G models (TM-D710GA for USA/General market and TM-D710GE for Europe) in 2013. Note: the predecessor TM-D700 had 26 APRS menus, while the TM-D710 has over 60 menus for greater APRS enjoyment.

TM-D710A / E review

N2MDV10 December 2023

The TM-D710A is great, except that it's the "A" version where the TOKO RX IF filters are corroded by the DC bias going to them. The fix sounds easy, and if you have the SMT tools to do it, it maybe is. But, for the rest of us through-hole folks, get someone whom can do the DC blocking CAP's MOD for you, after the TOKO filters get swapped out. Audio quality on RX / TX is wonderful, and I get great complements on my TX audio.

The "extra features" adjustments, for power H/M/L power outs ADJ, deviation ADJ, DTMF volume ADJ, etc., via look-ats from the TM-D710 Yahoo Groups. (Be very, very careful when you are in this "Adjust" mode). But, it's nice to have. Nice that the head and radio body can be connected via a long CAT 5/6 cable with RJ-45 connectors, but what sucks is the mic connector is on the radio, and not the head! (Just what were you thinking Kenwood?).

RX sensitivity is fantastic, and you can ADJ both VHF / UHF TX to 50W and over, but you are advised not to go over 50W, especially on UHF. Low power can MAX down to a MIN of 2W, and below that it cuts out. Quite an effective fan in it, just remember not to block the rear of that rig because of that fan. (Let it breath!). Have yet to do APRS on it, but my friends rave over it. It does not have 222MHz TX, but will RX that band. WX NWS Radio Alert feature is nice, but scares the hell out of you when you are by the rig when it goes off. Like it's HT cousin the TH-F6A, it does same band monitor. I can take on 2M and "A" side and listen to VHF MURS on "B" and vise-vera. Seems to do crossbanding repeat well. (Albiet, I haven't done it much from 2M to 440 and back).

The Green back ground isn't bad, since I don't like the Amber, but too bad other colors weren't used, like white raster gray. (I did that MOD to the display in my TM-741A and that looks very pleasing to the eyes). The only intermod that I've gotten is when I was line of sight 1/2 mile from the police / fire Dept tower, but no pager blast-throug. This rig has proven itself to be a good work horse in Field Day, VHF Sweepsteaks contests, and ARES operations. And, that pretty easy Kenwood programing. Yeah, could be more room for alpha-numerics, but still nice to have what's there. It's a keeper!
