[amsat-bb] KENWOOD TM-V71A

[John Brier]

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.
