Hi Walt;

I would choose the TH-F6A hands down.

The radio is more user friendly because of the beeps.

The low beep is always the default setting.

And, if you can use one KENWOOD, you can use them all.

I've been a ham for 13 years and, I always try to re-invent the wheel by going to ICOM but, I keep coming back to the KENWOOD radios.

I just purchased a KENWOOD TS-480SAT and a KENWOOD TH-G707A and I have no trouble at all using them or remembering in what position I left my settings.

Good Luck & 73 De Anthony W2AJV

  On a straight side-by-side comparison and forgetting about price 
  differentials, etc., which HT would you choose; the Icom T90A or the Kenwood 
  TH-F6A and why? I'm looking seriously at both rigs and would like to tap the 
  collective wisdom of the list regarding features, ease of operation and 
  programming for a blind ham, etc.
