I’m getting ready to buy an HT before months end, and I’d appreciate your opinion on the HT I’m considering: Kenwood TH-F6A.
I’ve been looking at a few other HTs too, including the Yaesu VX-6R and the VX-7R.
The F6A seems to stand out a bit more in ease of use and RX spread.
Please reply with your thoughts…

smoked and salt cured? or the italian version?

I like ham with pineapple on top and a sweet 'tater on the side.

I can only speak for myself, my knowledge of ham radios is extremely limited! I might be able to turn one on or off thats about it!

Thanks for the helpful ham info, eating type and radio too...

Craig,
I'll view those sites and see what info they have to offer...

I use the Icom W32A , which is one of the best HT's ever made...Icom quit making them . It will not only do Satellite Work , but it will do Cross band Repeat between 70Cm and 2 Meters, and dual band monitoring !

And here I was thinking this thread was about food !

[LiveToShoot]

Well, with all the good info...I'm ready to take the Ham plunge and buy a Kenwood TH-F6A.

Assistance in this important choice is much appreciated...

Craig and Rich,
It's good to know there are other Hams in this forum...

LiveToShoot: Sir the ''Kenwood"" got all 5's out of 5

[RockB]

Try eham.net.

[nathangdad]

but I would have a hard time trading a good cured ham for the
electronic one.

[LiveToShoot]

Kenwood TH-F6A purchased at lunch...part one of this project completed.

Now, we're looking for a good compact mobile...one that can be carried from car to home, and even on self, as needed...

Thanks again for all the help.

Oh, there's a lot to be said about a delicious smoked ham, tender and juicy...hmmm.

[big shrek]

You can never, EVER go wrong with Kenwood.

Yes, Ham, a very important tool for reaching out there. Maybe a life saver some day. Thanks for the info. Got a short wave from Sony and the ham would be next. Have to check those out. Gun and Game on Ham radio. Interesting. Real live time conversation.

Rich,
The Kenwood TM-261 got pretty good reviews for a functional single band 2m mobile: Kenwood TM 261 A Product Reviews

The Yaesu FT-7800 got really good reviews for a versatile dual band mobile...Yaesu FT-7800R Product Reviews

Thanks for the good recommendations...
