Hi,
A ht that you can program with a computer would probably be the best.  I
have just purchased the
kenwood th-g71a-hp
At first glance this radio looks like it should be easy to access most of
the features from the radio and the computer as well.  I am not really sure
about this however, because I haven't taken the time to really learn the
radio yet.

I also looked at the
yesu bx5r
And the
icom t7h
