Re: New Kenwood HF Set
I don't know about anyone else, but I really dislike LCD meters.
And menus.
And anything new, in fact.
I won't be buying one, even if I win the lottery.
bring it on!!

Re: New Kenwood HF Set
Im afraid LCD's & menu's are the way now,so no chance of manufactuters going backward in technology,its also down to personal preference aswell.
I must admit I do like the look of it & I just noticed it has 6 meters aswell as HF, so you will be able to listen to the cordless household phones.
As for price,yes it will deffo be OTT priced for rip off Britain.

Re: New Kenwood HF Set
Try a FTDX 401, mine cost me £30, it's an all valve set & has 560 W PEP input & a antenna impedence of 50 - 100 Ohms, no 50 Ohms here.

Re: New Kenwood HF Set

All important, whats the audio bandwidth
