WEATHER ALERT/RX (US only) This transceiver is capable of receiving the NOAA Weather Band and responding to emergency transmissions such as storm warnings by emitting an audible alert tone. US MIL-STD 810 C/D/E/F Built tough to take rough treatment in stride, the TM-271A meets the strict U.S. Department of Defense MIL-STD 810 C, D, E & F environmental standards for vibration and shock. ALPHANUMERIC LCD AND ILLUMINATED KEYPAD Capable of displaying up to 6 large alphanumeric characters, the green LCD display comes with a 32-step brightness control to suit all driving conditions. Also, the front panel and microphone keypads are both illuminated for ease of use. Note that keys for only the 5 most frequently used functions are arranged on the front panel for simplicity (other functions can be quickly accessed via menu). DTMF MICROPHONE The TM-271A is supplied with a DTMF microphone as standard.

Additionally, memory data can be edited and stored on a PC using the optional PG-5D PC interface cable and MCP-1A Memory Control Software. MEMORY NAME FUNCTION At-a-glance identification of 100 memory channels is possible with up to 6 alphanumeric characters per channel. Up to 200 channels are available if the memory name function is not used. MULTIPLE SCAN FUNCTIONS For maximum versatility, the TM-271A offers several scan functions, including band scan, memory scan, program scan, memory group scan, call scan, tone/CTCSS scan, DCS scan and priority scan, which checks a priority channel every 3 seconds. TO (Time-operated), CO (carrier-operated) and seek scan resume modes are also provided. CTCSS & DCS ENCODER/DECODER The built-in CTCSS and DCS encoder/decoder enables operation of the 42 CTCSS subtone frequencies and 104 DCS subtone codes. HIGH FREQUENCY STABILITY With a built-in TCXO, frequency stability is 2.5ppm, while frequency drift is less than 365 Hz at -20C +60C.
