Hi Tom & Everyone;
The radio doesn't have any Kenwood characteristics at all.
The receiver is not as selective.
And, the transmit audio is terrible.
The transmit audio doesn't have that Kenwood footprint.
I tried using the Kenwood software and HRD software to open up the transmit
audio and, it just didn't work.
I tried an mc60A and that microphone is just not compatible with that radio.
It created some kind of ground problem.
And, a lot of people, including myself may think that having just the head
on the desk is a good thing.
However, if you forget where you put it, its very easy to knock it over.
I wish I could be more encouraging.
