The Kenwood TM-742A FM MultiBander is a high-quality ham radio transceiver manufactured in Japan. With its multi-band capability, users can communicate on various frequencies with ease. The Kenwood brand is well-known for producing reliable and durable radio communication equipment, making the TM-742A a top choice for amateur radio enthusiasts seeking a dependable device for their communication needs.
Great old radio and 10 meter, 6 meter, 1.25 meter and 23 CM are available modules.
These old Kenwoods have more functional capacity then any of the newer radios. The DTMF controle ability is the best ever achieved by the Ham Radio manufacturers. They get too hot so adding an external fan is a good idea if it is going to be used for rag chew communications.
I've been slowly piecing together this TM 742A using RF modules from 2 broken TM 741As and with the 742A control head purchased here a while back I now have a fully functional radio . This control module is absolutely perfect .
