    *=* Kenwood TM-741a GAME Dox *=*

      ----------------------------



 Introduction:



   There are actually three GAMES "hidden" on the Kenwood TM-741a Multiband

Transceiver.  These are UNDOCUMENTED and I'm not exactly sure who originally

found these games??..  (I came across a brief description of these hidden

games on rec.radio.amateur.misc on UseNet, but no one had the complete

original Post!)



 How to access "Game Mode":



   1) Turn OFF the TM-741a.

   2) Hold the [F] + [MUTE] and turn ON the TM-741a.



       (You should see:  -1-    -2-    -3-    on your display, you're now

in "Game Mode"!!)



   3) Select the Game you wish to play by hitting the appropriate Band

Select Button.  ( -1- = Band Sel 1 ; -2- = Band Sel 2 ;

-3- = Band Sel 3  )



            -1-  ==>  SLOT MACHINE Game



            -2-  ==>  SPACE INVADERS Game



            -3-  ==>  MUSICAL KEYBOARD



   NOTE!  The [VFO] will always exit you to the Main Game Menu (-1- -2-

-3-)..  The [MUTE] will normally Start the Game.



 Game #1:SLOT MACHINE:



   To play...  Hit [MUTE] to start the numbers tumbling.  Starting from the

left and proceeding to the right, hit the Band Select Buttons to stop each

number!   If you don't get a 3-in-a-row match, the radio plays a sound and

the game is over.  ([MUTE] to play again).  If you match 3-in-a-row,

then...well I won't spoil it for you!.. (It's neat!!)



   Remember; [VFO] to return to the Game Menu.



 Game #2:SPACE INVADERS:



   The Display...  You will see the following display:



      000000   ------   0-0



     (Score) (Invaders) (Selected Number - Number of Lives Left)



   To play...   Hit the [LOW] key to begin.  The radio will then put a

random number from 0 - 9 in the first position in the dashes.. ( 4----- )

you must then use the [TONE] key to select the number the radio selected and

then quickly hit the [MUTE] key to "fire" it.  The number will then

disappear and a new one will appear!..  If you don't act fast, the number

will move to the second dash and another random number will appear,

( 84---- )..  If you're not keeping up, eventually the numbers will reach

then last dash line and you will lose a life!!.. (Once all lives are lost,

the game is over!)  Also, you must "destroy" 30 numbers before moving onto

the next round!..  Each round will start getting faster and faster!!.. So be

prepared!!  (It really gets TOUGH!!)  All throughout the game it will keep

score of how many "hits" you made.. (I believe it's 10 points a hit, I

think!)..



   Remember; Hit [VFO] to return to Game Menu.



 Game #3:MUSICAL KEYBOARD:



   I don't think this is actually a "Game"??..  What I've been able to

figure out is that when you select this "game" the following message appears

on the display:  Enjoy Sound Play



   At this point, the whole keypad on the face-plate of the TM-741a is a

"Musical Keyboard"!!..  Try it, hit any of the keys, Band Select Buttons;

Cont Sel Buttons; [MUTE]; [TONE]; [MHZ]; Etc...etc..etc...  (Except for the

[VFO] key, that returns you to the Game Menu!)



=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=



    Welp!.. That about all I know!.. Some other things you could try are:



         [F] + [REV] (I think!) and Power ON.. (NOTE!!.. This MAY alter some

of your memory!! SO write it all down in case you need to re-enter it!)



           ...this will play some wierd tune on all of your Bands!!  It's

actually kinda neat...



   And one other.. (Which might be documented..??)



         [F] + [MHZ] (I think!) and Power ON..



           ...this will display a light EVERYTHING on the display!!!!!



=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=



   If anyone has any other "hidden" features, Mods, etc.. PLEASE send them

to me at:

              usr1118a


   I hope this has been useful to all!.. and I appologise not crediting the

person who originally found these Games!..  (Have no idea who it was!)



   Have fun, and enjoy!!...  Take care!.. and 73!    ....KB8NHT  (..Jim)
