Oh, the good 'ol days when solid monobanders were cool and not just for
newbies :)

Looks like there's some sort of functionality expected, based on the
accessories available:

I have (access to) a TM-251 and it's so (damn) simple I have a hard time
imagining it being PC-programmable, and it's two generations newer. We
don't even have things stored in it -- we just use the VFO.

I'm not exactly sure what the contemporary commercial equivalent was,
but I know that the TK-705 is programmable by computer via some sane
serial interface and it looks darn similar to the TM-231,241,251-era
devices.
