Kenwood's TH-F6A is an incredibly compact, full-featured analog transceiver. This little wonder is an FM tribander (144/220/440MHz) with dual-channel RX capability, 16-key pad, multi-scroll key, and 435 memory channels. Other attractive features include a built-in ferrite bar antenna for AM broadcasts, LCD with backlight, and a powerful lithium-ion battery. Small enough to slip into a pocket, the TH-F6A allows you to roam freely while enjoying the clear, reliable communications for which Kenwood is renowned. And despite its smart looks, it's tough enough to meet MIL-STD criteria for withstanding the rigors of outdoor use, while delivering superb performance.

Detailed features:
+ Simultaneous 2-frequency RX, even on the same band 0.1-1300MHz high-frequency range RX FM/FM-W/FM-N/AM plus SSB/CW receive;
+ 7.4V 2000mAh lithium-ion battery for 5W output and extended operation;
+ Special weather channel RX mode;
+ 435 memory channels, including 3 call channels and another 20 for programmable scan;
+ A complete range of scan functions, including: MHz, memory, call, tone, CTCSS and DCS;
+ Group scan mode covers 8 groups of 50 channels each; and you can choose between time-operated (TO) and carrier-operated (CO) busy-stop-resume (SE).

Simple operation is an essential component of this FM tribander, and Kenwood engineers have ensured that it can be operated effortlessly with one hand. Your attention is drawn to the easy-to-read LCD -- equipped with both contrast control and backlight -- displaying essential frequency and memory information, intuitive menus, and multi-level battery status. In mono-band mode, the size of the frequency display is doubled for even greater visibility.

Operating ease is further enhanced with the multi-scroll key. Similar to the control found on some cellular phones, this can be rocked up & down, left & right with the thumb. Vertical operation controls frequency, while horizontal movement controls band selection. There is also a 16-key pad with keys that are ergonomically spaced and illuminated for nighttime use.
_______________________________________
As polished as the user interface may be, it's what is inside that counts. And the TH-F6A counts twice over: it's both a 3-band transceiver (Main A band) and a wideband 0.1~1300MHz receiver. In addition to FM/FM-W/FM-N/AM and SSB/CW, the receiver section offers a special weather channel mode, built-in ferrite bar antenna for receiving AM broadcasts, and Fine mode -- with selectable increment (33/100/500/1000Hz) -- for extra-accurate SSB tuning. What's more, this handheld transceiver can receive 2 frequencies simultaneously, even on the same band.
____________________________________
The smaller a transceiver, the farther it is likely to travel. Fortunately, the TH-F6A is built to take rough treatment in stride, satisfying the stringent MIL-STD 810 C/D/E standards for resistance to vibration, shock, humidity and light rain.
____________________________________
Equipped as standard is a powerful 7.4V 2000mAh lithium-ion battery, offering high output -- with selectable HI/LOW/EL settings -- and longer operation than a Ni-Cd battery. And as the charging circuitry is built-in, the battery can be charged while the TH-F6A is operating from a DC (13.8V) supply.

Didn't know there was any Ham action here. Repeaters?

Listen to Chinese gangsters, what have you... you would be surprised... you can rig up a long-wire antenna and listen to shortwave; or, if you live near the airport, with the stock antenna, you can listen to air-traffic control, whatever you want... police radio a lot in the city... and the local militars, too... get someone to translate... I don't live in the city and don't want to... do you work for the CIA? ...stock equipment for if/when they who run the system shuts down all public telecom... ...this is a great way to have a private conversation with any friend who has a similar radio within 5 km or so, too... ...much farther with a real antenna hooked up... can buy cheap radios like this by "baofeng" and others on aliexpress... (30 to 40 bucks) ...this Kenwood is built very well, and I kept it dry and like new... they don't make them anymore as of last year; now all Kenwood is digital, and more expensive, too...
