Kenwood TH-F7E, TH-F6A Thank YOU, Features, Supplied Accessories, Writing Conventions Followed

THANK YOU

THANK YOU

Thank you for choosing this KENWOOD TH-F6A/ TH-F7E transceiver. It has been developed by a team of engineers determined to continue the tradition of excellence and innovation in KENWOOD transceivers.

First, don’t let the size fool you. This small FM portable transceiver features 2 m, 1.25 m (TH-F6A only), and 70 cm amateur radio band operation plus another all-mode 100 kHz to 1.3 GHz receiver (SSB and CW are up to 470 MHz). In the meantime, as you learn how to use this transceiver, you will also find that KENWOOD is pursuing “user friendliness”. For example, each time you change the Menu No. in Menu mode, you will see a text message on the display that lets you know what you are configuring.

Though user friendly, this transceiver is technically sophisticated and some features may be new to you. Consider this manual to be a personal tutorial from the designers. Allow the manual to guide you through the learning process now, then act as a reference in the coming years.
