Good Morning Paul,

Indeed they are, they are the two big players in the amateur radio market. There a couple others but Icomm and Yaesu have the lions share of the market

Hey what about me I have 2 Kenwood TS590SG stations. One here at the house and one remote station @6500 ft on the mountain! Remote is digital only and I control it via a 5ghz AREDN 2 hop link.

Good Morning Steve,

indeed Steve,Kenwood , top of the line also but I do think that Yaesu and Icomm are the 2 biggest sellers. Although I will have to check into that !

Good morning, the low is 50 and going up to 70°F. Wind ENE 8 mph. Sunny. It did rain overnight.

Today is BH removal day and fluff up the driveway. I'll try to get another cold start video.

Have a safe day all

Main reason I went to Kenwood was the free radio control and programing software they provide. I would buy Icom if I was buying new today though!

all lips on this thread are sealed...

now when you know what every acronym on every knob on your transceiver means,
in electronic crypto, there will surely be a quiz.

but does it have a Mars button?
or is that on the next model up?...
actually, what additional capability could you possibly achieve you don't now have?
how wideband is your wideband??

for example does it get all public service bands, can you listen to your local police on the digital end?
I know you are more on the long distance stuff.
of course some of that capability is antenna restricted.
I think the Mars button requires a thousand foot antenna.

my understanding is lots of restrictions on transmitting but not many on receiving.
