and on and on....
There is so much technical stuff to learn it makes my head spin. But, here's my issue. I bought a BangFang just to putz around, learn a little about basic programming, and basically get my feet wet. Now I'm seeking a second, higher quality radio. There seems to be A LOT of choices in the $300-500 range.
I like the look of the Kenwoods, plus they are MilSpec rated, and mostly waterproof.
But, there simply are no TH72s or TH74s out there. Both have been discontinued, and are scarce.
Could some of you more experienced operators give your opinions on some of the other brands of radios? Or models of Kenwood and Yaesu? Since all the most popular radios are out of stock.
How are the Kenwood THF6A?
Yaesu FT1XDR? FT3DR? FT 70dr
TYT?
Radio Oddity?
Revis?
