the HF transceiver sounds interesting...the HT seems like a revamp of other
HT's already on the market...nothing really new here, just stuff dressed up
in new clothes I guess.
I would have thought kenwood would come out with a minature shack in the box
to compete with Yaesu and Icom in that market.
I guess with GPS onboard on the HT it'll be quite favorable to the APRS
crowd.
