Hi;
I have not used the thf6a but I think the real question might be how 
important is the cw read out?  If that isn't something that is an important 
thing for you than I suspect the thf6a is a superior radio.  I forget the 
specifics but i believe the power output of the t90 is somewhat overrated. 
The battery life on transmit may be significantly shorter on transmit too. 
If however, you will be using it as a scanner and or receiver for a 
significant amount of time, it is certainly nice to know your frequency at 
the push of a button.
I'm still waiting for that ht with a speech chip though.

Subject: Which HT would _you_ select?


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.
