Kenwood TH-F7E Portable Radio User Manual

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 1.2 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.
