Hi Everyone;
Here is my opinion, for what its worth.

I don't think you'll really do any better than the KENWOOD TH-F6A.

In the television band, it does lack sensitivity however, its usability more
than makes up for it.

I bough an ICOM R2 and along with the memory program, its work just fine in
the tv bands.
