[arm-allstar] URI - Kenwood TMV-7 Hookup

[John]

question from the Repeater-Builder's Site (A GREAT resource for all things
'repeaterish'. It's too much to post here, but certainly worth a look if
you own a TM-G707, TM-V7, TM-V71 or others Kenwood radios with a "packet"
connector and are considering using it as a node radio.
