How Do I Program My Kenwood Radio?

Kenwood, along with Vertex Standard's brand Yaesu, are two of the leading manufacturers of amateur radios. The most common compact transceiver/receivers Kenwood makes are the tri-band TH-F6A and dual-band TH-F7E. Both are suitable for any technician-licensed ham operator, whether you have just passed your test or are an old pro.

  Turn the tuning control knob or press the up or down arrow buttons to select your frequency. Alternatively, enter the frequency directly on the keypad. Select the offset direction, tone function and CTCSS/DCS function, if you use one.
