Hi all. I may not have been clear in my post about the TH-f6a. It only transmits fm but will recieve all modes. I emagine the HF reciever is pretty poor unless you hook it up to an external HF antena, but that is to be expected with a handheld reciever. I sure would love to have one of those for my trip back to Michigan in August!
