Hi Kevin and all others,
Many thanks for the answers. That sounds great.
Will get back if I have any further questions.
This radio is not the newest one, but I like what I have read about the radio and people who owns it seems to be very happy with it.
I had a look at Icom, but didn't like it. I think that the Kenwood is more accessible.
73 and have a great day!
