A lot of folks seem to like the Kenwood TH-D7A, but the price tag is quite high for a radio that is "very delicate," "extremely difficult to program," and "poor battery life".
I donno. I've drop kicked mine a number of times. It is trivial to program either with the TEXT menus, and full 4-way joy stick, or the PC program. Poor battery life only if you have evrything running to the max:
1) Both internal radios on 2) Internal TNC on 3) Battery saver off 4) Transmitting APRS beacons evey minute at high power
But then that's why most people bought the radio to do all those things..
