MCP-2A Memory Control Program

MCP‑2A is software designed for use with your personal computer to edit and manage memory channel and menu data

for TM‑V71A/E, TM‑D710A/E or RC‑D710. The current version of MCP‑2A retains features from earlier versions of MCP

series software that received favorable comments from customers, and introduces new features to substantially raise

the overall software performance. For convenience of customers, KENWOOD distributes the software via our corporate

web site as a free service for our customers.
