Hi,
I don't recommend the Baofengs for TX side in 2m, many of them has a notable spectral "impurity" with very strong 3rd harmonic on 70cm, see this:

Or, he can use the ID51A to receive and the Baofeng to transmit. He can use an Arrow with the diplexer or buy a Comet one.
Cheaper solution than the Kenwood HT.

Hi Oliver,
An optimal choice would be a full-duplex HT, one that can receive on one band and transmit on another at the same time. The 51A won't do that.
Check out this discussion:

And specific to the 51A: http://forums.qrz.com/index.php?threads/icom-id-51a.441780/
The Kenwood TH-D72A supports full duplex (also called cross-band repeat), for example.
From work-sat.com: "Although it is preferable to work the FM sats in full-duplex mode (where you can hear the downlink as you key your mic), only one currently-manufactured HT does that well in our VHF/UHF mode
- the Kenwood
TH-D72a. "

Considering purchasing an icom. Can anyone comment on using the 51A vs a baofeng? Particularly how sensitivity compares.
