What precision of frequency readout do you get in cw?  Can you truncate
the beginning of the strings in order to lesson the time needed to
perform this function inquiry?

 


 

Thank you!

its really not terribly complex to operate or program the TH F6A.
Once you get the hang of it, things are pretty straight forward.
Sit down with the radio in front of you and the manual and cheat sheets
on the computer and go through the functions you wish to perform on a
regular basis, and you'll find its pretty easy.
You won't find  a modern HT that is any simpler really to program and
operate.
They all have menu systems and multi-function buttons and combination
keys and so on.

If the price of the TH F6A is more then you want to pay for something
you seldom use, then look at the IC V8, IC T2H sport, the kenwood TH
K2At or even the Puxing px777plus from ebay....all are decent 2 meter
HT's with basically PTT and a volume control for the most part.

I haven't followed this thread so I'm not sure if the IC T90 has been
mentioned, but its probably the most accessible HT on the market right
now.
The reason being that, though it is quite similar to the th f6fA in most
of its features and functions, barring the obvious difference in
frequency coverage, it has CW readout of the frequency.  This isn't a
totally necesary thing to have with keypad entry being standard, but it
certainly allows for a higher level of security and confidence while
operating and frequency searching.
