 Just hold the
TH-G71A in your hand and it's immediately clear how well the kenwood handheld transceiver is engineered. The ergonomic design, illuminated
keys and backlit display all combine to make operation a breeze. As does
the menu mode, which allows you to customize the TH-G71A by adjusting
all major settings to your choice. Besides being easy to use, it also
boasts extraordinary power - up to 6 watts (VHF) or 5.5 (UHF) of RF
output (selectable) with its high-performance antenna. The speaker
provides powerful, refreshing clear audio. The TH-G71A is even built
with a polycarbonate casing for rock solid performance outside as well
as inside.
I HAVE RECOMMENDED
THIS RADIO MANY TIMES. EVERYONE LOVES IT. I RECOMMENDED THIS RADIO AS
THE GRAND PRIZE FOR THE SWIARC HAMFEAST 2002 Based ON It's RELIABILITY AND
FEATURES, AND I KNEW THE WINNER WOULD GET MANY YEARS OF ENJOYMENT FROM
IT. 73

Hi Jim --
Appreciate your review of the Kenwood G71A. Just ordered one, along with the remote speaker mike with volume control.
I've read elsewhere some pretty negative reviews of the Kenwood remote mikes that are available. Maybe mine will
pleasantly surprise me when I get it, but it sounds doubtful.
Do you know of any other speaker mikes -- Kenwood or whatever -- that work with this rig and that sound good?
Taking my technician test next week.
Thanks. Ernest Murphy Honolulu, HI
