[Kenwood] RE: TH-F6A

[Ed Gaitley]

Emil,

It depends on what your needs are.  Do you need 220MHz?  If so,
then the TH-F6A is the way to go.  The TH-F6A puts out a full
5 watts on 220, the VX-7R only puts out only 300mW.  Do you want
to monitor SSB on the HF bands?  If so, then the TH-F6A is the
way to go.  The VX-7 doesn't receive SSB.  Do you want to go
swimming with your HT?  If so, then the VX-7R is the way to go
since it is waterproof for up to 30 minutes.  The TH-F6A is not
waterproof.  

73,

Ed
