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 144 MHz, 220 MHz
(TH-F6A only), and 430/ 440 MHz amateur band
operation plus another all-mode 100 kHz to 1.2 GHz
receiver (SSB and CW are up to less than 600 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.
