Default Differences between Kenwood TS-700S and TS-700SP?

The TS-700S and TS-700SP are analog radios -- both with digital readouts

Don't recall a tone encoder input -- but I built a wein bridge oscillator
inside the TS-700S for my favarite repeater.

As I recall -- the 145 mod kit for the TS-700S was ordered from Kenwood --
fairly easy to install.

has a TS-700S -- perhaps e-mail him

I had a TS-700S years ago and dim memory sez the TS700S only allowed
repeater operation in the 146 MHz and 147 MHz portions of the band. About
1977, a new repeater subband was established at 144.5-145.5 MHz.

The SP model from kenwood allowed the proper repeater splits over
the entire 2M band

But a mod was available and I recall modding my TS-700S for the new

repeater
sub bands.

Thanks for your response. Was the mod very complex? There seems to be a
lot
more information on the S than on the SP available on the web, and I've
found some places listing service manuals for sale that lump them
together.
I don't want to buy a service manual for the S if it won't be useful for
the
SP.
