It is my main FM sat rig. Love it. Works great getting into AO-85 which is a little deaf. I built a body harness thingy for it:

I agree that the TM-D710GA is probably better if you can afford it, for the APRS sats. I don't think it would fit my body harness set up though.

Hi Peter!
I have the TM-V71A and enjoy it greatly. Besides normal FM voice ops, the 9600-capable data port on the back gets used a lot with data modes to/from my computer. Of course it does a great job on 1200 packet as well.

Hello All,
Is anyone using the Kenwood TM-V71A for Satellite work?
I am looking for a portable station for field operations and, looking at the spec’s this radio seems to fit the bill.
Anything I should know about it?
Based upon this forum, I purchased the Kenwood TS-2000 for a base
station,
and I LOVE it!
