Hi,

I'm using a TS2000, love it!  Apparently the nearest thing we have to the
THF6A is the THF7 - something like that.  It's one of the three we're
looking at;  but at the moment it's a toss up between the Yaesu and the
Icom.

Hello and welcome to the list.  What equipment do you have so far?  I don't
know about the unit you are talking about, but the THF6A is also another
good unit.  Idon't know if it is available where you are.
