Great rig, poor display			Time owned: more than 12 months
I used the TM-V7A for years, always mobile in one car. The radio worked great, clear audio, solid crossband work. The display, however, was a pain. It is extremely temperature sensitive. Cold car, have to reset contrast before I could read it. Then reset when the car warmed up. Hot car in summer, same thing. Readjust when the a/c cooled it down. Pain in the tokus!! Plus, if I were wearing polarized sunglasses, the display went blank!! Almost all my station is Kenwood with solid results, but this one has a serious problem with the display. I replaced this with a TM271A. The display works fine, but it isn't remotable, so not as convenient. Therefore I would recommend the TM-271A ONLY for fixed station work, not mobile.
