Yeah I don't know morus code yet but I'm willing to learn at some point to
have something else under my tool belt.

I'd say the Kenwood TH-F6A, or if you want 2 meters only, the Kenwood THK2AT
are more accessible. The T90A has CW for frequency read out, but unless you
know CW, that's pointless and for a newbie, I could see getting totally lost
on that radio where as the Kenwoods have different pitched beeps you can
refer to. Since I wore my THF6A out I find I use my t90 in place of it now
but I've been at this 14 years and started on a radio that was only
moderately at best accessible and it took me longer than the 3 years I had
it to figure a lot of it out. I'm not saying the T90A is a bad radio, just
giving my opinion having used all the radios I mention and a lot more. for a
new tech unless they happen to know CW, I can't recommend the T90A as a
first choice right now though someone who does, or has been around a while,
it's not a bad radio. I've used a lot better performance wise, but it's not
a bad radio over all.
