KENWOOD F6 USERS SPEAK OUT

N0UQZ COMMENTS ARE IN RED.
I think you'll like the KENWOOD F6. I bought mine to replace a Yaesu VX5, which was OK, but 6M from a talkie isn't very useful around here. You should be able to hit repeaters on all 3 bands.

Some people complain that the stock antenna isn't very good, but I have no complaints with it.

The broadband receive on HF isn't very sensitive unless you have a resonant antenna hooked up to it. I could
hear some stuff with 15' of wire in the bedroom but it hears a lot better with my outside HF wire antennas.

From an operational standpoint, I'm much happier with it than I was with the VX5. The dual receive is really useful
and I think the controls are much easier to work with.

I am new to this site, and read a number of the posts here, and I am amazed at all the complaints about the handheld. Does anyone like the radio?  I got one, and found it to be light years ahead of my VX-5r.  All in all, I think it is the best HT on the market.

I love the radio!  I have it it now for about 4 months.  This is way ahead and anything on the market right now.
