[Kenwood] TM-V7A Display.

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 10:23:54 -0400

Hello All.
I checked with my friend and the BackLight setting on his TM-V7A is OK (not on dim).    He
also has the voice synthesizer installed but i guess it doesn't work when using the Menu.
He will try to get someone to clean the contacts and see what that does.
OK, thanks all and will keep you informed.    And if anyone has anymore suggestions please
send them along.
