Greetings. Ok so this issue gets revisited every few months or so-- as it seems. I have a nice list of many fully duplex VHF/UHFradios-- I forget who put together-- that list is taped to the wall next to my station. This comes in handy for shopping on eham, ebay, etc. However, I am wondering if it needs some updating. No clue here. Maybe it is current. Ok well almost. I know it does not list the new Alinco DJ-G7. Ok so the main reason for the post is first to ask (for the hums): does the Kenwood TH-F6A operate in fully duplex mode? the reviews on eham were not exactly clear on this point. If so, then any peculair problems SO
The second reason for this post is to ask if anyone perhaps has a more up to date/complete list of truly duplex radios (ie, can do sat work!) ;-)
Thanks and 73s

The TH-F7E (which is the European version, with 220MHz transmit disabled) doesn't do full duplex.

The new Alinco is the only current-production HT that offers full duplex operation. Kenwood's TH-F6A is not a full-duplex radio.

Tim,
Good to see you!

How about post your list here so we can see if we know of anything that's missing?

Craig,
I own a TH-F6A and it does not operate full-duplex. You can find the complete manual here:
http://inform3.kenwoodusa.com/Brochures/Communications/UnitedStates/AMA%5CTH...
Over the last couple months, I have gathered a few other PDFs including a partial command reference for programmers that was hacked together by K9DCI. If you have any questions about it or would like to see a video or such of it's features, let me know and i'll throw something up to YouTube. For the record, this is my first handheld / radio as a technician and i've found it rather easy to use.
