Alinco is it when it comes to full-fuplex-capable HTs ...
And unless Alinco comes up with a miracle-of-a-firmware-release, that little rig is not suitable for working the FM birds.
... In addition to the TH-F6A HT from Kenwood ...
Just so that there's no confusion, the TH-F6a is *not* a true full- duplex radio. Dual-receive, yes. But key the mic, and nothing is heard on the sub-band.

I trust, Clint, that you noted in the full post you excerpted these comments from that I made a POINT of noting (1) that I use a 2-radio setup for full duplex operation here, and (2) that I was referring to the TH-F6A as my receive radio.
That being said, and for the record - NO HT currently in production from Icom, Kenwood or Yaesu offers full-duplex operation.
73 to all,
