Hi Kris & Everyone;

The TH-G71A is a dual band radio for 2 and 440.

However you are unable to operate both band simultaneously.

It is just as user friendly as the F6 because it uses the same
microprocessor.

I think the price is around $239.00 but, you may want to check some of the
web sites like H R O.
