    • Nice radio
I've only had this radio for 24 hours, and have yet to even press PTT, but I love it. I just returned the Yaesu VX-8DR, because wow... just over-complicated in every aspect. I thought this was going to be really intuitive, but I was wrong. However... It's intuitive after a learning curve. Once you start to understand how to operate this radio, you can figure out how to use the rest of it. I absolutely love the dual-receive mode. I like that it has a dedicated volume knob, unlike the Yaesu. Also has a dedicated tuning knob. Love the color screen, and I love that the LCD is rather visible without the backlight on. I've had it on all day, over 12 hours now, and have received a ton of rx traffic from numerous repeaters. Battery is still over half full. I would imagine that will change once I start transmitting. Just waiting on my license to show up in the FCC database. The software is rather simple, and free. USB is standard micro USB plug. SD card is awesome and allows recording so you can catch some HF CW. VFO A is tri-band. VFO B is deci-band. You can tune AM frequencies down to 540kHz, HF, air traffic, 2 meter, 70cm, GMRS, and more. Impressive. It'll be fun to listen to some air traffic. I used to fly, years ago. Only complaint so far is that the speaker doesn't sound as good as the one on the Baofeng BF-F8HP. Listening to them side-by-side, the Baofeng is louder, and sounds larger. It reproduces lower audio frequencies better. More to come ... show more

    • This Radio Does It All
There isn't much this little radio can't do. (I won't list all of it's capabilities; you can read the product description.) One of the main features I was looking for was APRS and this radio doesn't disappoint. The built-in GPS receiver locks on very quickly and the display shows a lot of information about the packets it is receiving. I also like the weather alert function, which the manual barely mentions. I'm not a big D-Star user, but it was fairly easy to set it up so I could access a nearby D-Star repeater. When you add in the FM broadcast receiver, along with the capability to receive the HF bands (AM, SSB, CW), this thing covers it all. Programming from a computer is pretty easy, using the free Kenwood software. I eventually bought a copy of the RT Systems software, since it is more flexible in terms of moving channel memories around. With all of its capabilities, there is a bit of a learning curve. Fortunately, the menu structure is fairly intuitive. I was able to program in a couple of FM repeaters from the front panel without consulting the manual. You'll need to do some reading in the manual for some of the more advanced features. After using the radio for the past month and a half, I'm comfortable with most, if not all, of its many features. The manual itself could be better. It's detailed in some areas, while it barely addresses others (e.g.: Wx Alert). Fortunately, there are a ton of great YouTube videos out there that will help you get your radio up and running. Battery life is OK, when you consider the color display and everything going on in the radio. I keep a spare battery or two on hand when I'm out with the radio for the day. This is probably the most expensive HT on the market, however, if you want a reliable radio that does it all, this is the one you want. ... show more

    • I love this HT. Worth every penny.
I love this HT. IT sounds good, feels good, looks good and works good. RX and TX are wonderful using a Nagoya 771 and various mobile antennas on the jeep. The stock ducky is ok in a pinch, but the radio really shines with an aftermarket tri-band antenna. The software is clean and easy to use to get the bulk of the programming and configurations done. The radio's on board menu layout is a bit obscure and performing some tasks is frustrating, so being able to plug it in and get all the heavy lifting done is a major benefit. Battery life is great, so long as the GPS and APRS stuff is turned off when not in use. If you're into heavy GPS and APRS, plan on buying a couple extra batteries for field use. The supplied charger will not run the radio and charge the battery simultaneously. ... show more

    • Worth the price if you do a lot of HT
Like so many others just getting into ham radio, I picked up a cheap Baofeng and thought I'd be happy with that. And I was, for about a week. Then I decided to get a big-boy HT, and dropped a few bucks on the TH-D74A. I'm glad I did. It's a great little handheld. I have absolutely no problems with hitting local repeaters with this, even operating mobile without an external antenna mounted on my vehicle. D-STAR is fun and pretty easy to setup, once you get past the learning curve. The signal reports I get from this handheld are usually very, very positive - it's a solid performer for both transmit and receive. The only change I'd recommend is swapping out the duck antenna for something like the Diamond SRH320A 144/220/440 MHz Tri-Band Handheld SMA Antenna. Make sure to change the Ant. Connector (menu 104, iirc) to external rather than the BAR setting. ... show more

Perfect fast seller.. Fast Shipping (only 6 days with standard shipping to Turkey) This is the best until Kenwood does his best! The radio's qso log recording feature is awesome. Excellent sound reports And sound recording. Aprs feature is better than all other aprs supported devices. (yaesu etc.) Sinad values are also great in other modulation types (hf / lsb-usb) (am-cw). Try to listen really well to understand the difference. I've never heard of buzz around me.. Bad RF proof filter is good! (yaesu can't do that. I am also a strict fan of yaesu on handheld devices..) As a radio amateur who loves to listen, I am happy to have one of the best radios in my life. You can find more in eham(Website) than I said. TA1ODM 73. ... show more
